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
Use an escrow service. You send your BTC to that person, and he only forwards them to the seller if the items reached you in perfect condition. There are many trusted escrow services available that operate for free or a small tip. If you release the funds by yourself, the escrow doesn't even have to decide in case of a problem.
