Direct answer: A bank debit does not prove that BTC has been delivered. Match the bank entry to the exact order and distinguish an authorization, a settled payment, a pending order and a canceled order before paying again.
Check the original record
Save the order ID, payment receipt, currency, amount and timestamp. Compare these with the account order history rather than the balance alone.
Identify the cause
Ask the issuer whether the charge is pending or posted. Read the platform status and cancellation instructions. A canceled order and a pending bank authorization can have different reversal processes.
Resolve through the official account
When the displayed processing or refund window has passed, send both records to official support. Do not submit a second purchase to repair the first, and do not pay a recovery agent.
