How P2P trading works
P2P lets you trade with another person using local payment methods. Escrow protects both sides.
Buying
- Browse offers and pick one. Check the trader's completion rate and history.
- Enter the amount and open the order. The seller's crypto moves into escrow immediately.
- Pay the seller using the details shown, within the time limit.
- Mark the order as paid and upload proof.
- The seller confirms and escrow releases the crypto to you.
Selling
The same in reverse. Your crypto goes into escrow when the order opens. Only release once the money is in your account and spendable — not pending, not a screenshot.
Why escrow works
Neither side can take the other's money. The seller cannot touch the escrowed crypto, and the buyer cannot receive it without the seller confirming or a dispute being resolved.
