Some P2P orders look perfectly harmless at first glance—until the buyer clicks “Paid,” but your bank account is still silent.
That day, I sold 500 USDT. The buyer messaged me pretty quickly: “I’ve transferred it, brother. Please help me release it.”
I opened my banking app to check. Nothing.
Then they wrote: “The funds are pending—maybe the bank is processing slowly.” After that, they immediately sent a photo of the transaction receipt, showing the status as “Successful.”
The screenshot looked quite convincing. But the problem was that my account still hadn’t received the money.
At that point, I kept it simple: P2P doesn’t mean that once there’s a transfer photo, you can just release. Once USDT is released, it’s very hard to get it back if the actual payment never really existed.
I continued checking my balance and transaction history instead of relying on a screenshot or the other person’s urging. An hour passed, then two hours—still no money in my account, so I didn’t release.
The bank might really be processing slowly. Or the receipt might be fake. Either way, that’s something that needs verification—not something I should gamble 500 USDT on.
Later on, I realized a memorable principle for P2P trading:
“Paid” is only a status reported on the order. What truly matters is whether the money has actually arrived in the seller’s account—and that’s what the seller needs to confirm. In this case, the transfer image could be fake, so everyone has to be careful and not release prematurely.
A little delay is better than releasing by mistake and then having to wait around for an Appeal.
