What happens if I don’t pay in time? Can I cancel?
Each offer sets a time to pay, between 15 minutes to 3 hours. If the buyer doesn’t mark the trade as paid in time, it is cancelled automatically and the crypto goes back to the seller.
Only the buyer can cancel a trade. If you’re the seller and something is wrong after the buyer marked it paid, open a dispute instead.
Already paid but the trade expired or was cancelled? Open the trade and send an appeal straight away with your proof of payment.
