How P2P Trading Works

Understanding P2P Trading

Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading on CoinExchange.Cash lets you buy and sell cryptocurrency directly with other users, using any payment method.

The Trading Flow

For Sellers

1. Create an Offer — Set your price, payment methods, and terms
2. Wait for a Buyer — Buyers browse and select your offer
3. Fund Escrow — Lock your crypto in the 2-of-3 multisig escrow
4. Confirm Payment — Once you receive fiat payment, release the escrow
5. Leave a Review — Rate the buyer

For Buyers

1. Browse Offers — Filter by currency, payment method, and price
2. Initiate Trade — Select an offer and specify the amount
3. Send Payment — Transfer fiat using the agreed payment method
4. Mark Payment Sent — Notify the seller
5. Receive Crypto — Seller releases escrow to your wallet
6. Leave a Review — Rate the seller

Escrow Security

All trades use a 2-of-3 multisig escrow:

• Key 1: Seller
• Key 2: Buyer
• Key 3: Platform arbitrator

This means:

• Seller + Buyer can complete the trade normally
• Seller + Arbitrator can resolve disputes in seller's favor
• Buyer + Arbitrator can resolve disputes in buyer's favor
• No single party can steal funds

Payment Methods

CoinExchange.Cash supports any payment method agreed between parties:

• Bank transfer
• PayPal, Venmo, Cash App
• Gift cards
• Cash in person
• And many more

Tips for Safe Trading

• Always verify payment before releasing escrow
• Keep evidence of all payments (screenshots, receipts)
• Use the built-in chat for all communication
• Check the counterparty's reputation score
• Start with small amounts for first trades
