What to Do When Aged GitHub account 2018 is Not Received After Payment

Account Not Received? Here's Your Action Plan

You paid for a GitHub account created in 2018 — but it never arrived. Frustrating, yes, but fixable. This guide walks you through recovery steps and how to avoid it next time.

Step 1: Check Payment Status

First, confirm your USDT transfer went through. If you used TRC20, transactions are usually confirmed in under 5 minutes. ERC20 can take longer. Check your wallet or exchange history — if the transaction is pending or failed, that's likely the issue. If it shows completed, move to Step 2.

Step 2: Contact the Seller Immediately

Send a message via the marketplace's chat system. Include your order number, the account description (e.g., "GitHub Pro account from 2018 with 5,000+ contributions"), and the transaction hash. Most reputable sellers resolve this within 24 hours. If no response in 12 hours, escalate to support.

Step 3: Open a Dispute

Marketplaces like ours have buyer protection. Go to your orders page, click "Dispute," and paste the same info. We'll review the blockchain record and, if the seller is unresponsive, refund you in full — no KYC required.

Why USDT Payments Are Safe

Using USDT (TRC20 or ERC20) means no card details, no bank links. Your identity stays private. Even if a deal goes south, you can prove payment via the immutable blockchain. That's why we recommend TRC20 for speed and low fees.

How to Prevent This Next Time

• Buy from sellers with 50+ positive reviews and a 4.5+ star rating.
• Check that the account age matches the description (2018 accounts typically have 6+ years of history).
• Use a marketplace that holds USDT in escrow until you confirm receipt.

Final Thought

You shouldn't lose money on an account that didn't arrive. Follow these steps, and you'll either get the account or your USDT back. And next time, choose a verified seller who accepts TRC20 for instant delivery.
