A small incident that leads to me getting scammed

If you think you want to spend time trying to get the rest back, try contacting support and provide them with screenshots showing all the transfer amounts. I think they should have ways to fix this

If you provide enough evidence, the support team will most likely ban the scammer’s account, but I don’t think they can help you get back your money if the scammer has already withdrawn all the coins from his account.
Recovering your coins might be possible if you have traded with a verified merchant who has deposited a certain amount as collateral (the feature DYING_S0UL talked about above).
I don’t know if such a feature already exists, but it will be very helpful if the bought coins remain locked for a certain period of time before they can be withdrawn in case the seller finds out he was scammed.

Unfortunately, the support barely does anything to get you your money back or even block the scammer, and I say this because I have personal experience in with Binance such scammers. Even if you provide them with evidence and everything, the support team will tell you to rest assured that they will do something, and they will tell you that they have frozen the account of the scammer, but in reality, they only block the scammer in your account so that you don't see them in the marketplace and you will think that the person is blocked.

When it comes to verified merchants, Binance will always give them more importance than sellers or customers, and you will never be able to successfully get any money from them even if the money you have received from a verified merchant gets your bank account blocked because of a chain dispute. Verified merchants always make third-party payments, saying that they make a lot of trades, so they don't have limits that's why they use third-party accounts.

Online never trust anyone blindly, this is not about bybits or about the scammers, this is about you not playing your part of the deal and you got scammed we understand.

As you have already mentioned the incident that happened with in the trade time, is enough to cause you into devastating State of mind and you learn lesson for next time, sorry mate.

​I know the Op made a mistake which could be linked to the fact that the child got injured, but if there was no scammer trying to take advantage of innocent traders who don't expect to be scammed even with in such situations, she could never have lost the money as the scammer could have paid complete and all this could have been avoided and if the vendor also did not have plan to scam even if the shortage payment was a mistake when the op tried to contact they could have completed the payment so it's also about the scammer.

I have seen several cases like this in the past and most times, it seems the exchanges are not doing anything about it because they always end up with claims that they already have warning about safety while trading.
Without panic I think you should just get a way to reopen the trade with the buyer and try talking things out with him about the previous transaction and if he hesitate, open a dispute or even open a dispute before you start negotiations so you would be at more advantage.
