Title: escrow edge
Post by: k5053 on April 04, 2013, 09:47 am
hey sellers... a question for you: 8)

20 days ago i placed an order of 10 BTC....

then seller asked me, 2  days ago to F.E... so i did it.

meanwhile the BTC value changed a lot...  so

how can i know exactly how many BTC the seller received from my order when i finalised the order???  is it possible to find these data in the seller's account history??? is it possible to know exactly how many BTC of commission seller paid???


please help, somebody is scamming me.
thankssss

Nobody is scamming you, what if BTC went down to 4$? would you be playing the same tune? probably not..he/she took the risk of not hedging and it paid off. Go to the gas station and ask for money back because yesterday it was cheaper? nah dont think so.

BTC is a volatile currency, at the moment it is climbing steeply in value but as the post above rightly points out it could just as easily go in the other direction.

No one is scamming you.

my situation is subtly different from what you guys are thinking...

my problem is that i finalized early... after placing an order or 10BTC...  so the seller got 9 btc... (10% sr tax)--

now, after different days, he wants to refund me with (hypothetically) 4,5btc! also if we were out of escrow hedge from the beginning!
he waited all these days... not me!!!
oke?

so, what i need to know is exactly how many coins he got at the moment of finalization! in my account history as a buyer i can only see how many coins i spent when i placed the order!
thanks

We see what your saying, if you bought an oz of kush for 200$/10BTC (hypothetical values - 20$/BTC) He wouldnt be doing any wrong by offering you the current rate of refund, i understand that there is more money to deal with now but it isnt anyones fault. On the other hand if you talked with him and maybe offered future business he would offer more of a refund.

Big example - Alot of vendors are getting there bond back at the moment, myself included. I paid 18.5BTC/$500 for my bond 6-7 weeks ago, silkroad recently refunded me 18.5BTC/2300$ but if the coin dropped to say 7$ per BTC i would only expect my 18.5BTC back and not the 500$, with BTC AND the BLACKMARKET ther is alot of due diligence that needs to be played out on the buyers end. You need to think if it went the other way and BTC decreased to 5$ you wouldnt be questioning the matter you would have been wishing you bought more. This is all about money you could have potentially made but havent, ive had a few hundred coins last month i cashed out for i believe 26$/each, you think your kicking yourself? I am.
