P2P seller refuses to release crypto after I had sent Fiat equivalent.

This happened to my friend. A P2P trade on Bitget he had entered. He was the buyer and had sent the fiat equivalent. He was waiting for the seller to release the fiat. The buyer opened dispute even after seeing screenshot of the funds he had sent to the provided account. This lingered for five hours before he released the USDT.

How can we avoid this kinds of experiences in P2P trading?

I think you should not leave the Exchange app when you are on a p2p transaction so that you can open dispute as soon as possible.

I don't use Bidget, I use Bybit or Binance and thankfully this hasn't happened to me yet. If this every happened to me, I will report immediately.
