Bitcoin Forum

Hi

I'm really angry right now.  Localbitcoins sided with an obvious liar in a dispute I had.  It's too much to get into right now but all the details are on the lbc forums. 
I can only assume localbitcoins sides with those that make them the most money or that they were paid off. 
This was for a small amount luckily- but it's the principle of everything-

Anyone else have this happen?  If I get enough stories I'll do a blog

From my experience they support the side with the most evidence.

Good luck to you

Hi,

I never had an issue with LBC disputes, however I recently stopped using them (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=86012.msg10922938#msg10922938).

LocalBitcoins is insecure (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=457225.0) and doesn't do much to protect buyers or sellers.

P.S. I saw your story on the LBC forum (https://localbitcoins.com/forums/#!/general-discussion:help-liar-won-dispute)

Thanks
Sadly not in this case= I had proof the other was wrong- it was a freakin black and white case
They sided with the obvious liar

Well I'm on localbitcoins from approx 2 years but never got any issues. As criptix said they support the side with most evidence but there are multiple factors involved, if your account does not have any feedback, and the other one have few or many, they are going to take his side obviously. Another thing is evidence and your communication with support staff. If you'll provide all info to them, and clear evidence/proof's i'm sure they will try to understand your case.
nvm..  saw your topic on forum

I'm also using LocalBitcoins for a while now and my feeling is that you are responsible for your safety as everywhere else. User feedback, rating and escrow makes in my opinion safe trading place. Never had any issues there yet.
