The buyer didn't pay less because the price changed. If the price of the displayed ad has dropped, he'd not had accepted to transact, he'd would have rejected it and created a new one based on the current market price. When a buyer set an ad at a particular price and you agree to sell your coin, you'd get the total amount for the transaction based on the number of coin you want to sell. It's all your friend's fault, he'd have confirmed the money he received corresponded with what was displayed on Binance before releasing the fund. I doubt if Binance support is going to penalize the buyer.

He reported the account, and up until now, support is still settling the issues with which they have restricted his trade. Brothers, be careful. Always be vigilant to check before releasing any of your assets. These merchants are cunny.
Such fraudsters exist in all countries, they mislead people in various ways and deceive common people. If we need funds then we also convert dollars to our own local currency through P2P system in our country. But I have never been cheated till now because I am very skilled at it. When I need funds I use the P2P system but when the buyer sends money to my "BK" and "Ng" account I review it carefully and then release the dollars to him. Many times buyers send fake sms which has happened many times to my friends and they are cheated.I think not everyone gets cheated only fools get cheated by cheaters. If we do our work properly with caution then we will never be cheated.

Yes, yesterday I almost fell for a P2P scam. Mine was the regular way these merchants always try to set people up. I had placed an order, and he approved that he had sent the amount to my account, but he did not. I told him he insisted I release it because he had sent it and I would see it in less than 5 minutes. I knew he wanted to scam me, so I left him and slept off. He then knew I wasn't going to fall for his trap and sent the money after so many hours.
But waking up this morning, a friend of mine had similar issues, but this time the scammer came with a little twist. My friend told me he had placed an order for $70 since he needed some funds. As he wanted to click the sell button, the price changed, and he refreshed it again. So he bothered not to check again and procedd with the order as he got the alert in his phone he saw that the merchacnt changed the order from $1 = 1,460 Naira to $1 = 1,270 Naira.

You did the right thing by not sending the Crypto to him. But waking up this morning, a friend of mine had similar issues, but this time the scammer came with a little twist.

but You did not mention which p2p platform did you use? you should always use a platform with good reputation. see the feedback and users reviews. and some time the traders in that p2p platform also try to scam people which means the platform is ok but you have to pick traders wisely.
I always use binance p2p for trading. and always pick a trader with highest trust score. never had any problems with that.

In P2P trading, only release your coins when the trade is completed. Completed means the buyer already sent money to the seller and the seller received that money then released his coins.Don't release your coins when you have yet received money of the trade from a trade partner. Don't release under any kind of pressure from a trade partner. If your trade partner tries to bully you, create as much as pressure on you, just to request you releasing the coin, it is bigger and clearer signal of a scammer. Report that trade partner and move on.

If you have not received the money or the seller has not sent the complete money, do not release the coin next time. This is how some of you people will be scammed and later realized that you have done something stupid. But waking up this morning, a friend of mine had similar issues, but this time the scammer came with a little twist. My friend told me he had placed an order for $70 since he needed some funds.

If the buyer has already changed the price, the exchange will notify the seller in a way it would be very obvious. Anyone that wants to sell coins should check the price of the buyer before selling the coin.
