In the event of any P2P order discrepancies with the counterparty, we encourage users to utilize the Order Chat Box on the P2P Order Page to initiate communication with the counterparty. If your issue remains unresolved after communicating with the counterparty, you may proceed to submit an appeal, and our P2P Risk and Appeals team will provide further assistance.
You can refer to this guide to submit an appeal when your order status is Coin Release in Progress. If your P2P order is Canceled or Completed and was closed within 5 calendar days, you may refer to this guide to submit an appeal. Otherwise, you can send a request via our webform to reach our Customer Support team for assistance. Please note that there is NO 100% GUARANTEE to recover your potential asset loss.
