The order was to have a Google link deindexed, with a 72-hour turnaround. More than two weeks later, it still hasn't been done and nothing has been delivered. The seller told me there was a delay and that I shouldn't worry, then stopped responding shortly afterwards. He hasn't refunded my payment even after being contacted multiple times. I've sent him a wallet to refund to and no payment has been received from him.

Not to be mean or anything, but sending ~$1.5K to a user who only has 39 messages is appalling.

Isn't there a rule that cap new BSTs at $500?

I definitely should have considered that more but then again it was an approved thread with a proved service

A 72-hour delivery promise turning into weeks of silence is a serious red flag. If a seller cannot complete the job, the right thing to do is communicate clearly and issue the agreed refund. This case is also a good reminder to check a seller's track record before sending a large crypto payment.

@ECELL I'm sorry to hear he scammed you mate, choosing the correct and proven sellers is hard sometimes, i would recommend using a MM next time.

Sorry for your loss op, but take note that being an upgraded member with approved bst does not make one a trusted seller, just a paid one. Before spending large sums do your own due diligence, ask for reviews from customers, snoop around and remember not to do business with new users with less than 100 posts. Best sellers are here for long time and are very active... and don't come cheap. Good luck next time.
