P2P Appeal FAQ
Q1：I am a buyer and click "I have transferred money, notify seller" before completing the payment, what happens?
A1: Be careful not to click "I have transferred" without completing the payment or making the payment, this behavior is a malicious payment, which may cause some functions of your account to be limited. If you are not careful, please communicate with the merchant in time through IM live chat on the order details page, otherwise, the merchant has the right to apply for cancellation of the order.
Note that payment must be made using your own real-name account. Please select a payment method that arrives in real-time, and transfers/transfers that exceed the limit can be paid in batches. There is no need to input any information when transferring and paying, such as digital assets, BTC, USDT, KCS, order number, please release coins, and other information.
Q2: What should I do if the seller does not provide a valid receiving account?
A2: When the buyer makes a transaction payment, occasionally the payment method provided by the seller is incorrect or invalid, such as the bank card number having insufficient digits, the card number being garbled, and other accidental circumstances. In this case, you can resolve it as follows:
1. You can contact the seller through the Instant Message (IM) function on the right side of the page to ask the seller to re-provide the information needed.
2. If the seller is not contacted and the order is not carried out normally, you can keep the screenshot of the page with the abnormal payment method of the merchant, and after the order is automatically canceled, initiate an appeal, submit problem feedback, and the customer complaint specialist will record and contact the merchant for rectification. Your feedback during this time will be extremely very helpful to improve the advertising quality of the platform.
3. If the order has been canceled after timeout, you can return to the ad list to place a new order.
Q3: “I have transferred money but forgot to point out when I bought the coins; I have transferred money and informed the seller. What should I do?”
A3: When buying coins, if you do not return to the order page and click the "Transferred" button after completing the payment on the third-party payment platform, the system will not be able to automatically detect that you have completed the transfer, and then cannot prompt the seller to release the coins, so the order will be automatically canceled after the specified time. In this case, you can try the following:
1. Negotiate with the seller through the online chat window to re-initiate an order of the same amount, provide the payment voucher to the seller, and explain the situation to the other party. Subsequently, you can ask the seller for a refund.
2. Negotiate with the seller through the online chat window and ask the seller to directly transfer the purchased assets to your KuCoin account. Go to the Asset page > Withdraw > Withdraw Crypto > Withdraw to KuCoin user. You will then be asked to provide your bound email/mobile phone number/UID to the seller and wait for the cryptocurrency assets to be delivered by the seller.
3. If you can't contact the other party or the negotiation has been proved fruitless, you can initiate an appeal by clicking the [Need Help] button. The KuCoin customer service staff will contact the seller for you as soon as possible for negotiation, but there is no guarantee that the funds will be recovered, and if the seller does not respond or refuses to cooperate, the buyer can report the case to the law enforcement agency.
Note:
(1) When buying coins and paying the fiat assets, the platform will not automatically deduct the assets, please go to the corresponding third-party payment platform to complete the transfer within the specified time, and then return to the payment page on KuCoin and click "I have completed the transfer". Once done, the seller may now release your coins.
(2) If you have completed the payment on the third-party payment platform and clicked the "I have completed the transfer" button, you can wait for the seller to release the coins. During this period, in order to avoid unnecessary loss of funds, please do not cancel the order. By canceling your order, your funds may not be automatically returned.
(3) If the seller does not release coins in time, please initiate an appeal in time.
Q4: I am a seller, what should I do if the buyer clicks "I have transferred money, notify seller" without payment?
A4: Initially, check if your bank/wallet account has received the payment. Some payment methods may take 1-3 days to reach your account. At the same time, you can also ask the buyer for more proof of payment through the IM live chat function on the order page.
If the buyer can't complete the payment, you can ask them to cancel the order.
