Title: Places to buy Bitcoin from other people [Fast]
Post by: _Cracker on November 13, 2015, 08:43:48 AM
We all know that majority of people online these days are scammers. That's why I have compiled a list of sites where you can do one of the following things.
1) Ask the person you want to buy Bitcoin from to sign up on one of these or
2) Buy from a trusted exchanger one of these sites for a good rate.
Anyway, here are the sites.


Site #1: LocalBitcoin[/size]
You may think that this site isn't very good, but here are some reasons why you should use it.
1) Exchangers with over thousands of exchanges who you can trust.
2) People reply very fast and there's a much lower chance of being scammed on this site then there is by buying from people here.
3) escrow.

Site #2: Paxful
I prefer this site because sometimes it's faster then localbitcoin.
1) Escrow that holds the bitcoin so you know it's not some new guy trying to run off with your money.
2) Many exchangers and lots of different payment types ranging from prepaid debit cards to PayPal.
3) I've used it multiple times and I've never lost a dollar.

Downsides;
1) Some people charge really high.

- Updating this thread soon.

People also use BitBargain in the UK, so you might want to add that to your list as well.

Yes, me too. Although you have to be in a major city otherwise there will be no people and ads available to buy or sell to. But yeah, a great way to buy coins!

Thank you for this. I wanted to find some service like that in the UK since every exchange I tried to register at wanted to have my photo holing my IDs in hands.
Not to mention they also wanted to see some of my previous receipts.

Oh ok. There is a lot of listing for GBP as well on Localbitcoins. Some require you to provide ID as well but most don't.

I know LocalBitcoins as I have traded there numerous time and they're really doing a legit business from a long time. I have had no problems with them whatsoever and I would recommend them to anybody but this is the first time I have heard of Paxful and don't know if it is really trustworthy or not.

Are they like LBC and available worldwide?

The best place to buy small quantities is bitcointalk forum. You can have your transaction completed quite fast also.

I've used Paxful in the past to buy some Bitcoin with Paypal funds.
Everything went pretty smooth and it's really just a matter of finding a trustworthy seller.

It works very well, although some people on this site will appear to not work, and do not understand why, what have they won?
