Help My 1st transaction on bitbargain SCAMMED?

[dogtail]

I have just done my first transaction  on bigbargain and sent a vendor called advance5 (bank account holder name) A Unegbu  £171.
Usually money thru bank transfers goes thru instantly.  The vendor tells me money has not arrived and bitbargain customer support which do not provide a phone number, are saying they will reply in 24 hours

Can anyone tell me whether the vendor can run away with my money?

Also I am over 18 years of age

I have never used bitbargain myself, but you're talking about a bitcoin transaction, right?
Can you post the transaction id?

You will need to give more details in other for people to really understand what is it you have gotten into and this is actually a lesson as well to always be careful when dealing with online site. Also, based on what you have there that through a bank transaction, then I believe you can get your money back when you have waited or run out of patience, just go to the bank and lodge the complain and I am sure your money can be tracked.

Can you give more details about your problem? Is this related to bitcoin?
From what I understand you sent(as the buyer) to the seller the amount you talked about and 'seller' tells you that he didn't receive the payment you sent. So if I were you give him/her the screenshot of the receipt or the sent transaction that you sent the amount already.

So you've sent the money and the vendor says it hasn't arrived yet ? You can show him the transaction receipts as proof ? He never sent the bitcoins ? Never used that service but do they have an automated escrow ? Please mention all the relevant details.
