I HAD ALREADY PAID. THEN THE SELLER SAID: “THE RATE MOVED — SEND 180,000 VND MORE.”
I was buying 700 USDT on Binance P2P.
The order was open. I had checked the merchant profile and terms, then transferred the exact amount shown in the order from my own bank account.
A few minutes later the seller wrote:
“USDT moved up. Send another 180k and I’ll release.”
I actually went back to the P2P market to check.
The rate really had moved.
For maybe ten seconds I thought: fair enough? If the market changed, maybe the seller had a point.
Then I looked at my active order again.
The market was showing one price now.
My order was already showing another price — the one I had agreed to and paid.
That sounds obvious when I write it now. In the moment, it wasn’t.
So I kept everything inside the order chat. I didn’t send extra money just to make the new rate work, and I didn’t cancel an order I had already paid.
Escrow was still holding the crypto while the order remained unresolved. I kept the Order ID and payment proof, and if the correct payment still didn’t lead to the order being completed, I would use Appeal/Support instead of renegotiating the price privately.
Before opening a P2P order, rate matters to me. I still compare the merchant profile, history and terms.
But after I enter an order and pay the amount shown, I stop treating the live market as if it can rewrite that trade every few minutes.
I used to think one P2P trade had one price.
Now I keep two prices separate in my head:
the price the market is showing now,
and the price of the order I already entered.
They can move apart.
That doesn’t mean the order should turn into a second negotiation.
