Caroline, an enthusiastic trader, ventured into the world of P2P transactions with high hopes. But one of her initial experiences almost led to a significant loss of $250. It all began with a sell ad she posted for her #Bitcoin

The other user appeared to be interested and promptly booked all the crypto she had for sale. Moments later, he marked the payment as completed. Initially, Caroline saw no reason to worry, but as time passed, she grew concerned when she received no bank message even after waiting for almost half an hour.

The persistent individual on the other end kept insisting that he had made the payment and urged Caroline to confirm on her end. Despite his calls and assurances, she remained sceptical. Refusing to budge without concrete evidence, Caroline requested proof of the payment. In response, the user sent her a screenshot of the sell ad, which did little to alleviate her apprehension.

Determined to resolve the matter, Caroline decided to escalate the situation and sought help through the appropriate channels. She filed an appeal to reclaim her funds, providing essential documentation such as a video of her bank statement and messages to support her case.

Though it was a nerve-wracking wait, after close to 48 hours, the #BTC was finally released back to Caroline. This experience left her with a valuable lesson: in the world of P2P trading, most transactions may go smoothly, but she must remain composed even when encountering the occasional 1% that doesn't.
