What happens if there is an issue with a transaction?
If there is an issue with a transaction, the buyer can raise a dispute against the seller within a configurable period of time after the transaction is made. The seller will have a stipulated time to respond to the dispute. If the issue is not resolved within the stipulated time, the case will be escalated to BlockaPay, and both the buyer and seller can provide evidence to support their case. BlockaPay admin will review the evidence and decide the outcome of the case. During the escalation period, both the buyer and seller will get one chance to present their view and evidence. The corresponding transaction will be on hold status, and the account balance will be deducted from the seller until the case is solved in their favor. If the case is not resolved in the seller's favor, the amount will be credited to the buyer's account. The seller also has the option to offer a partial refund, which the buyer can accept or reject within the site or email notification. Charges and rewards given will be reversed once a reversal/refund is processed.
How do I withdraw funds from my BlockaPay account?
To withdraw funds from your BlockaPay account, you need to have at least one approved bank account added to your account. You can add multiple bank accounts, but the primary bank account cannot be deleted. After adding a bank account, it will be in pending status until it is verified by the BlockaPay admin. Once approved, you can deposit or withdraw fiat money using the approved bank account. If you want to withdraw funds, you can initiate a withdrawal request from your account and choose the approved bank account to receive the funds. If you have more than one approved bank account, you can select the desired account for withdrawal. However, deleted bank accounts will be removed from the public side, but the admin can still view them for historical withdrawal and deposit tracking purposes.
In addition to bank account withdrawal, BlockaPay also allows users to withdraw funds to their PayPal account. To do so, users need to have a verified PayPal account linked to their BlockaPay account. Users can initiate a withdrawal request from their BlockaPay account and choose the PayPal option. Once the withdrawal is processed, the funds will be transferred to the linked PayPal account. It is important to note that users need to have sufficient funds in their BlockaPay account to process the withdrawal request, and any applicable fees will be deducted from the withdrawal amount.

What happens if a dispute is not resolved within the stipulated time?
If the seller does not respond within the stipulated time, the case will be escalated to BlockaPay. BlockaPay will collect evidence from both parties and make a decision in favor of one party or the other.

Can a seller offer a partial refund to try to resolve a dispute?
Yes, the seller has the option to offer a partial refund and try to close the case.
