⚠️ $4,500 Deal Dispute Over a Failed Shielding Service
User @Nawaz (buyer) requested a permanent shielding service for an Instagram account from @Dexters for $4,500. According to the buyer, the payment was completed and the service was delivered, however one month later the account was banned for an alleged TOS violation.
• The buyer claims they did not post any content that violated Instagram’s TOS. However, @Dexters states that the account allegedly violated two TOS rules. Despite this, the buyer argues that the purpose of the “shielding service” was to prevent bans, and therefore claims the service was not properly delivered.
• @Dexters also stated that if the client does not personally appeal the ban, they will assist in unbanning the account, but claimed that @Nawaz tried to personally appeal it, which affected the possibility of further action from their side.
➡️ Following the incident:
• @Dexters has reportedly lost their HOLD badge.
• @Dexters reportedly offered $1,500 in compensation, but the buyer rejected the offer and is demanding full compensation.
UPDATE: @Dexters has won the deal dispute, as the buyer failed to follow TOS and instructions.
