What to Do When Rider is Not Received After Payment

Payment Sent, But No Rider? Here's What to Do

You sent USDT for a GitHub Pro or JetBrains license, but the rider (account delivery) hasn't arrived. It happens—network delays, wrong address, or a seller hiccup. Don't panic. Follow these steps.

Step 1: Verify Your Transaction

First, check the transaction on the blockchain. Use a block explorer like Etherscan (for ERC20) or Tronscan (for TRC20). Confirm that the payment was sent to the correct address and has enough confirmations. For TRC20, 1 confirmation is usually enough; for ERC20, wait for at least 12.

Step 2: Check Your Inbox & Spam

Sometimes the rider is delivered via email or a dashboard. Check your inbox, spam, and promotions folder. The seller might have sent login credentials or a license key. Look for emails from the marketplace or seller.

Step 3: Contact Seller Support

If you still don't have the rider, contact the seller immediately. Provide your transaction hash (TXID), the amount sent (e.g., 50 USDT for GitHub Pro), and the date (e.g., March 15, 2026). Most reputable sellers respond within 24 hours.

Step 4: Open a Dispute (If Using Escrow)

If you used an escrow service, open a dispute. Provide evidence: screenshot of payment, TXID, and any communication. Escrow will review and either refund or force delivery.

Step 5: Prevent Future Issues

Always use a marketplace with buyer protection. Verify the seller's reputation (e.g., 100+ sales). For payments, prefer TRC20 (lower fees, faster) over ERC20. Test with a small amount (e.g., 5 USDT) before full payment.

What If Payment Was Sent to Wrong Network?

If you sent ERC20 to a TRC20 address (or vice versa), the funds may be lost. Some sellers can recover them for a fee (e.g., 10 USDT). Contact support immediately. Always double-check the network before sending.

Prices and Dates (2026)

GitHub Pro: 50 USDT/month (TRC20)
GitHub Copilot: 100 USDT/year
Vercel Pro: 200 USDT/year
JetBrains All Products: 500 USDT/year

All prices are in USDT. Payments via TRC20 or ERC20. Delivery within 1-24 hours.

Final Word

No rider? Stay calm, verify the transaction, and contact support. With proper steps, you'll get your account or a refund. Always use trusted marketplaces for aged developer accounts.
