Welcome @beastty, I can’t tell much from the screenshot. Did you fund the trade from an external wallet? Edit: I just saw that your post is from 4h ago. Chances are that the tx confirmed. If so, please ignore my comment. ---

block explorers dont show all transactions as long they are not confirmed. once it is confirmed u must see it. ---

Still not confirmed, does the seller have to initiate the trade? ---

if the deposit tx is not confirmed yet it is probably because either one has funded the wallet with a low tx fee of there have been more then 3 inputs for the deposit tx causing a larger size and with the currently fixed fee a smaller fee/size. it will be fixed in the next version when we use dynamic fees. atm u only can wait. if the trade period expires you can choose to not open a dispute but wait longer and continue the trade as soon the deposit gets confirmed. if a dispute gets open you will not lose your security deposit as it was not your fault. if both agree you even can continue the trade then… ---
