    Reasons Why Your P2P Appeal Resolution is Delayed

    Sometimes, users are able to submit a P2P appeal for one of their orders but the case resolution is taking longer than announced due to additional verification steps. Please find below some common scenarios as well as the different steps taken that can delay the resolution of a P2P appeal: 

     

     

    1. Third-Party Payment

    Third-party payment is strictly prohibited on Bybit. However, some traders still use third-party payment in P2P trading. The counterparty will then submit an appeal to cancel this order and report the violation.

     

    In this situation, the P2P appeal process will be as follows: 

     

    Understanding P2P 01.png

     

    Bybit will not assist in completing orders that violate our Terms and Conditions. As such, we will advise users to proceed to a refund. The order will be canceled after ensuring the refund has been received. 

     

    Considering that the refund process is time-consuming and requires cooperation from both parties, many order appeals are delayed and may remain unresolved.

     

     

     

    2. Deferred Payment

    Some countries, payment methods or currencies, such as NGN, EUR, GBP, UAH, and RUB, will require a longer transfer processing time than others. In such cases, a P2P appeal request can be submitted by one of the parties for non-reception of the funds while the payment is still processing on the other end.

     

    In this situation, the P2P appeal process will be as follows: 

     

    Understanding P2P 02.png

     

    We will typically allow 3-5 days for the funds transfer to be completed.

     

    However, if the usual timeframe has passed, we will advise you to inquire with the payment provider for the transfer details, while asking for your seller to wait. If the seller prefers not to wait any longer, we will assist in canceling the order after validating the seller's proof of payment not received.

     

    However, if your payment is transferred successfully after the order is canceled, you can place another order with the same amount and with the same seller, or the seller can transfer the coin to you manually via the Internal Transfer function.

     

     

     

    3. Bank Freeze

    In many countries, personal banking accounts are prohibited for business usage and trading purposes which can lead some banks to freeze fund transfers that may be used for trading. In the scenario of one trader's bank account being frozen, a P2P appeal request can be sent to solve the issue.

     

    In this situation, the P2P appeal process will be as follows:

     

    Understanding P2P 03.png

     

    Bybit, as a trading platform, does not have any business relationship with the payment method providers displayed on the site. Thus, sellers need to consult their banks and then inform us whether they still wish to proceed with the transaction. If the seller proceeds, the order will be completed. If the seller decides to cancel the order, we will assist in the refund process. Please note that if a trader’s bank account is frozen, the refund might be delayed or put on hold, leading to a longer processing time as the refund can only be processed after unfreezing the bank account.

     

     

     

    4. Scam

    Crypto Scams have increased due to their lucrative values and it can happen when doing a P2P trade.

     

    Two types of scams can be identified:

    • General fraud techniques, like impersonating Bybit Support or providing fake proof,

    • Complex fraud techniques, like the triangle scam or the Man-in-the-Middle Scam explained here.

     

    If a user believes he has fallen prey to a P2P scam, he can submit a P2P appeal request. In this situation, the P2P appeal process will be as follows: 

     

    Understanding P2P 04.png

     

    The handling time and process will depend on the amount of evidence provided to prove the act of scam. For general fraud techniques, we can make the judgment almost immediately and take action against the scammer right away. For complex fraud techniques, we will be getting solid evidence within our platform but also from other sources. Depending on the information gathered, the investigation time can be shortened effectively.

     

    However, in case not enough evidence is found, it will be more difficult to provide an appeal resolution. As such, please make sure to follow the advice indicated in this article to avoid falling prey to a P2P crypto scam.
