There’s a situation that new people selling USDT on Binance P2P are very likely to run into, and I’ve encountered it myself.
That was when I placed a sell order for 350 USDT. The buyer said they had transferred the money and immediately messaged: “Please check for me and release it, I really need the USDT urgently.”
A little while later, they sent me a screenshot of a successful bank transaction. I opened the image to check the amount, the time, and the recipient name. Everything looked reasonable, but when I opened my own banking app, the money still hadn’t shown up.
I’ll wait for the real money to appear in the receiving account instead of letting the other party’s urgency determine when I release.
The buyer could be completely honest, and maybe their bank transfer is just delayed.
I want to know whether that kind of pressure truly changes the process.
Re-reading the documentation, I saw that Binance recommends keeping the communication within the platform, checking the funds directly in the receiving account, and not relying on screenshots, SMS, or the other party’s confirmation to decide to release. If something is wrong, the transaction can be escalated to an appeal and evidence can be provided.
Hold on—this doesn’t mean that anyone who urges you is necessarily a scam. They might simply want the transaction to be completed quickly, but that’s exactly what caught my attention: escrow protects the asset, but it doesn’t replace the user’s verification step.
Looking at the bigger picture, P2P is still somewhat manual, so human pressure will always exist.
So I won’t let the other party’s urgency decide the transaction. I’ll only release once the money has entered my account. Maybe I’m a bit cautious, but in P2P, being cautious is better than trusting something I haven’t confirmed.
