Note: The buyer must manually complete the payment within 15 minutes (the platform does not deduct funds automatically) and tap [I have Paid]. Otherwise, the order will be automatically canceled after 15 minutes, and the cryptos will be returned to the seller's account for relisting. Failure to follow the instructions may result in loss of both funds and cryptos!

Step 6: Once the order is completed, you can view the order details under [Orders] – [Completed].
