Please describe the reason for submitting a Dispute, in detail.
On November 16, 2025, I posted a WTB thread looking for someone who could help me remove a specific review from the page of an app on the Apple App Store for one of my clients. Link Builder007 replied to that thread and said they could help me. So we started talking via DM on blackhatworld.

We both agreed on the price and the following deal:
- I was to pay upfront via crypto
- Service was to be completed by seller within 2-weeks
- Guarantee from the seller that: "if I can’t complete the work, I will return your payment.". (This was repeated by the several times during the conversation)

However, it has been more than 1 month since hire and the service was not completed. Link Builder007 has acknowledged this and apologized for not being able to complete the work, but refuses to issue the refund as we had agreed.

The seller says that his manager is refusing to issue a refund and that I should choose another service from them instead. I have told them that I am not interested in another service. I want a full refund as we had agreed to. The seller continues to refuse the refund and has not responded to my last messages.

I made a payment a total payment of $300 split into 2 transactions:
1. First sent a $1 to Link Builder007 to confirm that the address was correct.
2. Then I sent ~$299 to Link Builder007.
He confirmed the receipt via dm on blackhatworld.

Transaction details and screenshots are attached.

Please detail exactly how you have tried to resolve your issue before now.

You should have their billing information, as you received funds from them.

48 hours is what I am comfortable wit,h and is 24 hours past our usual timeframe.

We do not have customer's billing information we received the amount via crypto. For more earlier we ask PayPal email.

Thank you, I appreciate this.
Payment was made via crypto, refund can be via crypto too. I replied via DM to seller and can share crypto address via DM too.

We don't have a single USDT that's why We request to share PayPal address or if you still want to get transfer via crypto then you have to wait 4 5 business days.

Original payment was made via DOGE, we don't have paypal. Refund can be made via DOGE like original payment. We can also use LTC if you want to pay lower transaction fees. Neither of those are USDT based and can be purchased without USDT

Okay share your DOGE address and allow us 4-5 business days to make this transfer.

I'm not going to say that again.

Okay, we will refund within 48 hours but customer is not providing proper wallet address how it can be transfer?
