<p>Before taking this decision, we need to have a deeper understanding about why trades get into arbitration: Are sellers or buyers causing more arbitration cases? Low amounts have more cases? What about fiat vs altcoins?<br>
Also, what happens once the trades get to mediation? Will the refund agent always give 30% of the trade funds to the victim of an unresponsive trader? What if the protocol violator claims that he just forgot, or has a bug and is not cooperating with mediators?</p>
<p>Before increasing the trade deposit, we should enforce sellers to follow the protocol. Now they can get through a protocol violation without any penalty. <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="621707514" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/224" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/bisq-network/proposals/issues/224/hovercard?comment_id=645024054&comment_type=issue_comment" href="https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/224#issuecomment-645024054">#224 (comment)</a></p>
<p>I'm only willing to use a higher deposit than the default for face to face transactions. I don't see why Bisq should impose something that I, and advanced user, don't feel necessary.</p>
