After a dispute started, a seller asked me to confirm refund details by email outside the marketplace. I stayed in-app. Correct instinct?

Yes. Keep money movement inside the platform’s tools. Off-platform “refunds” are often traps.

Screenshot the off-platform request offline for the platform report if needed.

Never send codes or remote-access permission to “speed up” a refund.
