Top 7 Critical Transaction Mistakes You Must Avoid

Even with the ironclad security of GreenLightForSite, human error remains the leading cause of transaction disputes and lost funds. We have processed thousands of transactions and identified the most common mistakes users make. Learn from them to ensure your trades go smoothly.

1. Communicating Outside the Platform

This is the number one rule: Never move the conversation to Telegram, WhatsApp, or email. If a dispute arises, GreenLightForSite can only use the chat logs within our secure system to verify the agreement. If you agree to something "off the record," we cannot help you if things go wrong.

2. Ignoring Verification Timelines

Buyers often release funds immediately upon seeing a shipping notification. Don't do this. Only release funds once you have physically received and inspected the item. Sellers, don't ship until the status on GreenLightForSite shows "Funds Secured."

3. Vague Terms and Conditions

Starting a transaction with a description like "Web Services" is too vague. Be specific: "Install WordPress and configure SEO plugin." Specificity prevents misunderstandings about what constitutes a "delivered" product.

4. Wrong Wallet Addresses

For crypto transactions, copying and pasting an address incorrectly can result in permanent loss. Always double-check the first and last few characters of the wallet address.

5. Falling for Phishing Links

Always ensure you are on https://escrow.bitsec.win. Hackers will send emails that look like us but link to fake sites designed to steal your password. Always log in via our main URL.

6. Not Using Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

If your account isn't secured with 2FA, a hacker who guesses your password can authorize withdrawals. Enable 2FA immediately.

7. Releasing Funds "Out of Kindness"

Sometimes scammers play the victim, asking for an early release due to a "family emergency." GreenLightForSite is strictly a transaction platform—do not release funds until the terms are met, regardless of the emotional appeal.

By staying alert and following these guidelines, you can ensure a safe and profitable trading experience.
