The countdown timer for the order shows there are two minutes left. The buyer keeps messaging, "Time is almost up—please release it, otherwise the order will be canceled." I look at the clock, then check the banking app again, but the money still hasn’t arrived.

I used to think that having time run out was the scariest part of a P2P order. But actually, when time runs out, the order simply cancels itself—the money I put up remains untouched in escrow; it isn’t gone anywhere. Much scarier is releasing at the wrong moment before the funds have truly come in.

So I let the timer keep running. I didn’t release just because I was being pressured by the countdown. The order expires, the system cancels it automatically—and exactly as I thought, no real deposit was ever made into my account during that time.

After that, I still took screenshots of the entire chat and reported it to support, because this kind of countdown-pressure tactic could very likely be repeated with other sellers if it isn’t acknowledged.

Have you ever been urged to release just because the order time is almost up?
