## User manual
### 1. Creating a deal
A deal can be created on a site with BitDeals support, or in our [Deal Module](https://git.bitdeals.org/private/apostol-dm) web interface.
The deals can be two types: In a **Prepayment** deal a seller receives your money before receiving your feedback. In a **Postpayment** deal - after, and there is possible a customer to refund money in case of a dispute depending of a deal arbitrator's decision. If a customer leave a negative feedback, but an arbitrator is not involved in the deal, the money goes to our favor.
After payment of a deal amount, the order status changes from **Created** to **Paid**. And then to **Completed** immediately, or after your feedback in Postpayment deals.
After a deal creation is necessary to verify its signature, we sign all our deals with our [PGP key](https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xC061D33CE0CDF25D1378BBD3DA2C8764788006B3 "DA2C 8764 7880 06B3") digital signature. The example of new signed deal is available hereinafter.
An identificators of users in a deals are their bitcoin addresses. Check your bitcoin address is participating in your deal as a customer.
Also pay attention to a users **rating**, consisting of the number of deals and number of successfully completed deals from the last hundred.
The deal states a bitcoin sum and payment address. For accept deal payment a transaction should be confirmed by inclusion in one bitcoin block for a time stated in "**until**" field, otherwise the deal will be Canceled and the payment will be sent back to the customer's address.
Please check a deal "**leave-before**" field date, before which you can leave a deal feedback.
