When trading in the buy/sell coins section, if you encounter situations involving overpayment, underpayment, or incorrect recipient transfers, follow these steps:
1. Overpayment Scenarios
1.1 Order Still Pending
If you’ve completed payment and clicked "I Have Transferred the Payment", but the seller hasn’t released the coins (order remains incomplete), and you realize you overpaid:
- Action: Contact the seller via the platform’s IM system to negotiate a refund.
- If unresolved: Click [Report to Customer Support] at the bottom of the page, submit proof (e.g., payment screenshot), and a specialist will intervene promptly.
1.2 Order Already Completed
If the seller has released the coins (order marked complete) but you overpaid:
- Action: Click [Report] immediately, describe the issue, and attach payment evidence for expedited resolution.
- Alternative: Submit feedback via the AI chatbot by typing "Issue Feedback", selecting "Fiat Trading Issues", and uploading relevant screenshots. Updates will appear in the feedback section.
2. Underpayment Scenarios
After clicking "I Have Transferred the Payment", if you discover insufficient funds were sent:
- Step 1: Contact the seller via IM. If they agree, top up the remaining amount via their approved payment method, then await coin release.
- Step 2: If the seller declines, request a refund. Once confirmed, cancel the order and place a new one.
- Step 3: If unreachable, wait 5 minutes and click [Report] or submit feedback for assistance.
Key Notes:
- Provide clear payment records for faster resolution.
- Simultaneously contact the seller and submit a report if needed.
- Seller phone numbers displayed are temporary (3-minute validity). Refresh the page to regenerate.
- Disable call-blocking settings to allow support calls if necessary.
3. Incorrect Recipient Transfers
3.1 Paid via Wrong Seller Method
Example: Order specifies Alipay, but you paid via WeChat.
- Solution: IM the seller to confirm receipt and request coin release.
- If refused: Click [Report to Customer Support], submit details + proof for intervention.
3.2 Paid to a Third-Party Account
- Urgent Action: Contact the unintended recipient for a refund and cancel the order.
