<p>I am the maker/seller in this trade. The taker/buyer never sent payment and in the end, requested to cancel the trade. I declined to cancel. However, both the mediator and arbitrator decided to return the buyer's security deposit.</p>

<p>Returning the security deposit for non payment encourages users to use this as a free options trading platform. Also, what is the point of the security deposit a buyer can decide to cancel and request it back. I was willing to negotiate a portion of the security deposit to cancel, but was never given the option nor chance.</p>
<p>Requesting reimbursement of the buyer's security deposit of <strong>0.06 BTC</strong> or <strong>975.29258778 BSQ</strong> (30 day average 0.00006152)</p>
