Why did you even bother starting the deal if you feel like that it's too good to be true? I don't need to repeat the cliched saying that has been posted time and time again.
What I suggest you do is take this as a lesson and move on. There is virtually no point trying to get back $10 which is such a small amount, even if you do retrieve it the opportunity cost in terms of the effort you put in will far outweigh the rewards you get.
Try avoiding buying accounts from randoms and in general because a lot of them are sold hacked and can be easily retrieved by the original owner. As you jnow not everyone has the kindest intentions.

Why didn't get to know if he would provide you with the QQ email details at that price before sending him money?
He did initially mention that he will be sharing the email address but he shared one that wasn't actually linked to the account on CHDBits. He just created a new one at GMail. When I did figure out that the email address he provided was incorrect, and I reached out to him, he mentioned that the QQ email is his business email and he can't provide it. Which, honestly, was a load of BS.
Thank you so much for the link to Escrow - I'll go through it now
Seems like a deal gone bad.

Just thought I should bring it out there. Do you guys have any suggestions on how I should approach future transactions? This was my first time dealing with someone on BitcoinTalk but I'm lucky I got to do so with someone where I wasn't the only one who lost something.

Hello, just want to bring to your attention that the user tibet230 is indeed a scammer, as someone had mentioned in the original thread (but their comment was no longer visible?)
I unfortunately do not have proof of the whole conversation as the guy deleted the conversation on telegram, something I did not know about at the time (first time using telegram). But I do have these:

So the thread in question is : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/private-torrent-trackers-accounts-invites-tibet230-5218839 - I was interested in buying a tracker account/invite. He asked for $10 (too good to be true), probably which was and should have been the alarming bell but I went ahead with it anyway. Best case scenario, I actually get the desired account. Worst case scenario, I get scammed but its just $10 at the end of the day anyway.
The guy did indeed give me a working account but said he didn't want to share the email address [one that the account is registered with, and which can be used to reset a lost pass]. For those unaware, on this particular tracker you can't change the registration email, like, ever. This was an absolute deal breaker for me, I needed both the account and the email. But I went into an argument with him and he was stupid enough to provide me with a BB account in addition [another tracker] to prove his innocence. So I did end up changing the email + password on the BB account and now he has my $10 but I have a BB account in return, which isn't too bad in all honesty. I've told him he can return me the $10 and I'll give him the BB account back, its not much of use to me at the moment. (you'll see it in one of the screenshots)
