🧨 $6K GONE in <1 Day? BIG IG ACCOUNT BANNED AGAIN UNDER <24h — Seller Still Demands Full Payment

Discussions

Hey guys,

I’m currently in a dispute with @Jkr123 because i hire an instant recovery service, the account was banned again under 24 hours, but I never thought that asking for the screenshot to my customer and going to sleep will cost me 6000 dollars.

Because that caused the grace period time window to expire and now they’re asking me to pay just for a late notification, even though the service failed the first 24 hours.

Even if it had happened just outside the grace period (which was not the case), is it fair for a $6,000 recovery to fail in 30–36 hours?
That’s not a recovery — it’s temporary access at best.

SWAPD staff themselves acknowledge that most failures happen within 24–48 hours:

The seller now argues:

“If I’m not informed during the grace period, I expect to get paid.”
But that treats the grace period like a legal shield — not a tool for buyer protection.

The service collapsed in less than two days. Shouldn’t recovery methods be durable enough to last more than 36 hours — especially at this price point?

I’m trying to raise the money, but I definitely don’t recommend anyone using instant recovery services. I’ve spoken to several members, and this has happened to many people. You could be the next one…

Even the @swapd team made the decision based on the time in a screenshot.

Which is ridiculous because obviously EVERYONE here has different times, and the screenshot wasn’t taken instantly after the account was disabled…

The worst part is that I raised these points with swapd, and they insist on taking a screenshot as proof. If that were the case, the seller didn’t provide a screenshot from when the account was active.

Be careful; many of us speak in a friendly and amicable manner here, but you should know that anything you write can be used against you and used in a literary way to force you to pay unfairly.

Remember that if you hire one of these services you won’t have to sleep and monitor the account for 25 hours!

And I agree with you on this. If it got banned within that period and you got proof. It should be treated in Grace period.

About this - I don’t agree to this though, Sellers are not liable and people might do something shady (themselves) to get the account down again. Happens a lot in people selling ponzy crypto schemes with their accounts

I think this service is risky and should have proper tos so that the buyer knows what they are getting themselves into. This is a hots selling on Swapd and for me thats something to worry about. Id feel bad to have to charge a client 6k again after this.

technicaly yes jkr should have mentioned in the terms or should have discussed to void it completely if no guarantee was being offered. however its only fair if jkr gets paid because account wasnt suspended because of her or her contact and she’ll have to pay the guy anyways.

her only fault is not clearing things with the buyer, but if the account was reinstated jkr should be paid.

There’s no warranty on restore access in general. restore access is restore access

Yes, 6k gone in one day, because you yourself agreed to these terms:

comments: No prepayment
No guarantees once unbanned after grace
Pls go private during grace

This whole thread is about your bad decision making, then finding the blame in others.

Apparently your client had a lot of deletions, and after the restore access, the AI ​​systems checked and deleted him again

I think you yourself should have taken care of this and recommended your client to wait for the account status to be reset.

Well you agreed to the terms on ticket, but I completely agree with "temporary access " not restore access. Most of the sellers here use reps that we all have, and once unbanned if you are banned 30 minutes later you still have to pay which is stupid. Swapd should implement a mandatory warranty on restore access because this makes no sense.

Paying $6k to use account for 12 hours? Crazy

I myself work with reps and none of them can’t provide any warranty, this whole business has so many flaws.

This isn’t correct.

We have one - a 24 hour mandatory grace period unless waived.

30+ hours (potentially 52 hours, based on when buyer reported issue) - grace period was well passed.

Should be longer, I can tell you honestly from my experience and experience of bunch of people that got unbanned and banned again - they didn’t do anything literally anything wrong and they get banned.

Should I even mention that some cases end up on public telegram channels as a proof of concept and then scammers see that they purposely remove the account and then ask money for restore access.

You can negotiate a longer one with the seller if you want- most people will simply deny your case because that isn’t how this industry works and people can’t provide long warranties in an ever changing online world.

The seller shouldn’t be held responsible for that. We’re here to protect both sides.

Tbh, these things don’t work by seller. It’s done via rep so seller cant do anything. No rep can provide warranty…

It is on you to negotiate warranties, as a buyer specially when dealing with such risky services.

if you’re reselling, it’s your duty to inform your offsite buyer upfront that it’s not refundable, even if the account gets banned again right after. @Metalover

If you’re not willing to take that risk

don’t resell. Simple as that.

@Metalover i appreciate the free publicity

For everyone coming on this thread, I deliver restore access. And I adhere to Swapds grace period policy. IF you inform me within the grace period, I will sort it out.

Ive delivered 100s and 100s of them…2 had an issue during the grace period. I unbanned one again and the other one (@Metalover ) didnt inform me.

DM for the cheapest price in the market.
