When using a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) platform to buy or sell cryptocurrency, you may occasionally encounter issues or disputes with an order. If direct communication with the other party fails to resolve the problem, you can formally appeal the order through the platform’s system. Customer support will then step in to review the case, evaluate the evidence provided by both sides, and make a ruling based on the platform's trading rules.
Whether you have filed an appeal or an appeal has been filed against you, the order appeal function allows you to communicate with support, submit additional evidence, and check the status of your case.
Initiating an Appeal for a Disputed Order
If you wish to file an appeal, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the "P2P Buy" section and select "Orders".
- Locate the disputed order within your list of "Completed" orders.
- Click on the order to enter its details page.
- Select the "Need help?" option.
On the help page, you will be presented with choices. You can select "Contact the other party immediately" to attempt to resolve the issue directly with the seller. Alternatively, you can choose the category that best describes the problem you are experiencing to view suggested solutions.
If these suggestions do not resolve your issue, click "Initiate Appeal". Here, you must provide a detailed description of the problem and upload any supporting evidence, such as screenshots, photos, or video recordings. After filling out the necessary information, click "Submit Appeal" to formally send your case to the platform's customer support team for review.
Responding to an Appeal Filed Against You
If another user has filed an appeal against one of your orders, you will need to respond. For orders that are already completed or canceled:
- Go to the details page of the specific C2C order in question.
- Click on the "Appeal Details" option.
- Carefully review the information and messages sent by customer support.
- Upload any relevant evidence or documents you have to support your position in the dispute.
Checking Your Appeal's Status and Providing Updates
You can monitor the progress of any ongoing appeal, whether you filed it or it was filed against you.
- From the "P2P Buy" page, access your "Orders" list.
- Locate the order that is currently under the appeal process.
- On the order details page, you can view the appeal status and any new messages or replies from customer support.
If your issue has been resolved through other means, you can "Cancel the Appeal" from this interface. If the appeal is still ongoing, you can click the "Follow Up / Add Evidence" button to submit additional proof or reply to messages from support. It is important to be patient while waiting for the客服 team to thoroughly investigate and process your case.
Troubleshooting: Enabling Camera and Storage Permissions
A common issue users face when trying to submit evidence is the inability to upload photos or screenshots because the necessary app permissions are disabled on their mobile device.
If you cannot upload payment receipts or other image-based evidence, it is likely due to your phone's permission settings. To resolve this:
- Go to your phone's Application Permission Management settings.
- Locate the permissions for the trading platform's app.
- Ensure that both the "Storage" (for accessing saved files and photos) and "Camera" (for taking new pictures directly within the app) permissions are enabled or set to "Allow".

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of evidence should I provide for my appeal?
Strong evidence is crucial. This can include screenshots of the entire transaction chat, bank transfer receipts with transaction IDs, screenshots proving payment was made to the correct account, or any other documentation that clearly supports your claim.
How long does the appeal process usually take?
The processing time can vary depending on the complexity of the case and current support volume. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few hours to several business days. Using the "Follow Up" function sparingly can help, but avoid spamming the support team.
Can I cancel an appeal after I have submitted it?
Yes, you can cancel an appeal if you manage to resolve the dispute directly with the other party before support makes a ruling. Simply go to the appeal details page for that order and select the "Cancel Appeal" option.
What if the other party is unresponsive during the dispute?
The appeal process is designed for this scenario. As long as you provide clear evidence, customer support will review the case and make a judgment based on the available information, even if one party is uncooperative.
Is there a time limit for filing an appeal?
Most platforms require you to initiate an appeal within a specific timeframe after an order is completed or canceled. Check the platform's specific terms of service for exact deadlines to ensure you do not miss the window to file a claim.
What happens after the appeal is decided?
Customer support will deliver their verdict through the appeal channel. This could involve releasing crypto from escrow to you or the counterparty, or canceling the transaction entirely. Their decision is typically final based on the provided evidence and platform rules.
