Hello everyone,
I am opening this topic because my mediation is stalled and I need some help or advice from the community / mediators.
Trade details:
-
Trade ID: xlaf4p
-
Mediator: luis3672
-
I am the buyer (fiat → BTC via PIX)
What happened:
When I tried to send the PIX payment, my bank (official app) showed a clear security warning: “o destinatário já foi denunciado como suspeita de golpe” (the recipient has already been reported as suspected of scam/fraud).
I took several screenshots showing this official bank alert, did not send any fiat, and immediately opened mediation. I provided all the screenshots and explained the situation in detail to the mediator.
Mediator’s suggestion:
The mediator proposed the following payout:
-
I (buyer) receive: 0.0015 BTC (my full security deposit)
-
Seller receives: 0.0065 BTC (the trade amount)
I accepted the suggestion immediately and informed the mediator right away.
Current situation:
It has now been almost 48 hours (actually more) since I accepted, but the seller still has not accepted the payout suggestion.
I have sent polite follow-up messages to the mediator (luis3672) explaining that I only want my security deposit back and prefer to avoid arbitration. He has not replied to the latest messages.
I really just want to recover my 0.0015 BTC security deposit and close this trade. I do not want to go to arbitration on February 26th, because under the Burning Men Protocol only one security deposit is paid out and the other is lost.
Is there anything else I can do to move this forward?
Can any other mediator or staff member help push the seller to accept the proposal?
Thank you very much for any help or guidance.
