Hello,
I was just wondering: I am planning to buy something of a person online using Bitcoins, but what if he doesn't send me my item?
To me, a Bitcoins-dummy, a Bitcoin wallet seems like some sort of anonymous bank account because you can just fill in a fake name etc.
Now what if I buy something of this person, and he doesn't send the item to me, how can I report him or how can I know who he is? Is there a way I can use his BT address to see who he is?
I'm just very cautious as I don't want to be scammed.
Thank you very much,
Regards
If this were to happen then you would be out of your money. It is a best practice to only trade with trusted people (people who have done many trades in the past). If you find a deal from someone who is not trusted it would be advisable to use some kind of escrow to protect both you and the seller.
There are a couple of threads that have lists of trusted members who are capable of providing escrow services.
