What is the USD amount involved in your Dispute? $45

Please describe the reason for submitting a Dispute, in detail.
Disputing a $45 transaction with Ranki_SEO (Paid Nov 18). This was a total failure to deliver a functional Google Cloud Account due to negligence, misuse of funds, and hostile conduct.

Delivery took 36 hours despite a promised 1-6 hour window. The seller admitted depositing my payment into a 3rd-party "bot" before securing the product (Nov 19, 13:39:34: "Yes i have your money. But i deposit on my Bot"). When he finally delivered, he sent 2 consecutive accounts with suspended billing. He admitted to negligence, stating he acts as a middleman who doesn't check stock (Nov 20, 10:41:02: "I sent it to you directly without checking it myself...").

Crucially, when I complained about the defects, the seller resorted to physical intimidation (Nov 20, 10:38:38: "If you have any problems, I will go to your house and show you the problem.").

The seller now admits they "already spent the money" (Nov 20, 17:10:53) and cannot refund immediately. They then attempted to hold the refund hostage to block this dispute (Nov 20, 20:13:17: "You wait 24 hours without opening a dispute and I will refund your money.").

Please detail exactly how you have tried to resolve your issue before now.
I tried resolving this for three days (Nov 18-20). During the 36-hour delay, I asked for a refund. He refused, saying the money was stuck in his "bot". Both accounts he eventually sent were broken (reported Nov 20, 09:55:20 and 10:35:39). I demanded a final refund. He stalled, admitted he spent the money, begged for 48 more hours, and tried to make the refund conditional on me not filing this dispute.

What kind of outcome are you looking for from this Dispute?
A full refund of $45. to the sol address HDGow4NJrubeAqcHLvvL5kq7q5h6UFj4M621ytrEEmy5

Here is the tsx proof i forgot to send it goes from my revolut wallet to his wallet(4igjtfSmRqouVok6icW3EBhYhwmXgkWX7hZnTndwhscD), He also confirmed this in the chat that he got it

Also, regarding the refund amount: I requested the funds be returned to SOL address HDGow4NJrubeAqcHLvvL5kq7q5h6UFj4M621ytrEEmy5 . I noted that although the 0.32 SOL I sent was worth $45 at the time, the value has since dropped. To be reasonable, I will accept the return of the exact same 0.32 SOL amount (now worth approx. $40) to resolve this dispute immediately.

First of all, I sincerely apologize for the delay and any inconvenience caused. Creating the account required expenses from my side as well.


I delivered the account, but the first one had a billing suspension. As soon as you informed me, I immediately tried to provide an alternative.


Regarding the refund ---- I never refused it. I only asked for some time because I had already spent dollars to create the account, which made it difficult to refund the full amount instantly. I clearly told you that I would refund you step-by-step, and I have already sent you $10.

If any of my messages felt rude or harsh, I apologize for that. That was never my intention. I wasn’t trying to misbehave or complicate the situation.

My goal is to complete the full refund and resolve this dispute peacefully.
If you allow me 48 hours, I will send the remaining amount to the SOL address you provided.

I am fully ready to cooperate with BHW staff @BassTrackerBoats and with you @Torres2k .
And I kindly request that my recent negative replies be reconsidered, as they happened under pressure and were not intentional.


Thank you.

I don't care about rude comments.

It's not how I conduct business, it's totally inappropriate, but not a violation if the ToS in this situation.

Do better.

I care about facts.

48 hours is reasonable, so please do that inside of that time frame.

Thank you for the update. I agree with the 48-hour deadline and will complete the remaining refund within that timeframe. I appreciate the chance to resolve this and will cooperate fully.

Understood. I accept the Mod's ruling and will wait the 48 hours for the remaining balance.

Just to be clear on the figures:Since you have sent $10, the remaining balance due is roughly $30 USD worth of SOL, please take fees into account. I did the same when paying you.

Please send the remainder to the same address: HDGow4NJrubeAqcHLvvL5kq7q5h6UFj4M621ytrEEmy5

I will update this thread immediately once the full refund is received.

Thanks for confirming. Yes, the remaining balance is $30 and I will send it to the same SOL address you provided. I’ll complete the full refund within the 48-hour timeframe, including fees on my side.

I’ll update you here once it’s done.

I sincerely apologize. $30 is not a lot of money. Please give me another 24 hours for this. I am making this last request, please give me another 24 hours. I couldn't get the money in time. I will refund next 24 hours, this is my last request. Please try to understand me and give me another 24 hours.

@Ranki_SEO Look, we’ve been going round in circles for almost a week. Before the Mod gave you 48 hours, I already gave you 5 days. You said saying "$30 is not a lot of money" so why haven't you paid it yet?

@BassTrackerBoats He missed the deadline you set.
I agree to give him 24 hours but, please lock his sales thread immediately until he pays it back.

He admitted to me on Telegram that other customers are mad at him right now too. That sounds dangerous. He shouldn't be allowed to take money from anyone else while he claims he can't find $30 to pay me. It feels like he might be stalling to scam more people before he leaves.

No, why should I leave here? I came to the marketplace to do business. I didn't come to leave here. Yes, I know it's not a lot of money, but I don't have the money right now, so I can't give it to you in a timely manner. I promise you that if you give me another 24 hours, I will refund your money.

@BassTrackerBoats I leave the decision to you, but I stand by my request: please lock his sales thread. No one else should be buying from a seller who admits they have $0 in their pocket to cover refunds.

I don't lock sales threads; I don't have that authority, but 24 hours is reasonable as to a refund.

@BassTrackerBoats Since I gave him two accounts twice in a row. I need discount $5 for each account, $10.

I have a $7.5 making cost for each account. Since I gave you two accounts in a row. So I'm now refunding you $15 as your SOL? I ask the staff member to look into this matter. I will take whatever decision the staff member makes seriously.

Absolutely not. Your production costs are not my liability.
If a store sells me a broken TV, they don't charge me for the plastic and screws when I return it. They issue a full refund because the product was defective.
I paid for a working account. You failed to deliver it. That loss is 100% on you as the business owner, not the customer. I expect the full refund. You have been given more than enough time. This has been dragging on for over 72 hours in this thread alone, and almost a week in total. Stop haggling and pay the full balance.

I didn't sell you a broken TV. I sold you a Google Cloud account and you successfully logged into the account. You used the account for a while and then the building address was suspended. Then you forced me to make a new account. Then I gave you another new account. You have successfully logged in to the second account and used it for a while. I'll leave this matter to the BHW staff member. @BassTrackerBoats
I will accept whatever decision you make.
I'm hopeful I'll get discount my account creation cost.

Please refund what they paid.

@Ranki_SEO Stop lying to the Moderator. Your claims are demonstrably false based on the chat logs.

1. "Used for a while" is a Lie. Look at the timestamps in the attached screenshots:

• 11:34: I successfully logged in.
• 11:35: I sent you the screenshot of the immediate "Suspicious Activity Detected" banner. That is one minute. I did not "use" anything. The product was dead on arrival.

2. You explicitly agreed to a FULL refund. Refer to the attached screenshot where you stated verbatim:

"brother, account fully verified and you can use the credit. if you can't i refund your money"

Click to expand...

You did not condition this on "minus my production costs." You guaranteed a working billing account or a refund.

3. We are done negotiating. You failed to deliver. You admitted I couldn't use the credits. You promised a refund. We already agreed on the remaining balance ($30). You missed the deadline. Stop trying to tax me for your own incompetence and send the full amount.

I'm really sorry I only have $20 on me right now. I am now refunding him $20. I need to give him another 48 hours for a $10 refund. Please accept my request.
