Bitcoin Forum

if you want to sell btc for any reason i can buy it for 5/8% commision depending on the size of the trade and current market

online or meetup in france paris

 

Exchange the coins with OP with the use of escrow to avoid scam. The use of escrow is very important in exchange offer like this.

List of reputed escrow providers on this forum: Few Trusted Escrow Providers (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5047302.msg46708013#msg46708013)

8%? That is too much as fee when there are alternatives with lower fee.

8% but also 5% depending on the volume but tell me where do you find cheaper alternatives cause i cant find anything its all scammers everywhere

Percentage in not used on the exchanges that I am using. Each ads have the price buyer or seller wants to buy or sell the coins. So price is used directly. 8% will be seen as a manipulation but you can see people on exchanges like you which I account them among scammers when there are better offers from people that will not make more than 1 to 2% as fee.

please show me those trusted peoples that can do it for 2% cause i have been looking for so long

update i have done a lot of deals with 5 to 8 % fee so it seems like it wasnt too much after all or maybe i forgot to mention i accept cash maybe thats where the confusion was

I sent you a pm. Please reply

That a good fee for anyone who wants to get some benefit from selling his BTC, not all people are based in France. So, please can you mention all the other online methods you do accept, Paypal, Skrill, other cryptocurrencies?

Always use an escrow for both sides.

escrow is kinda useless if a reversible payment method is used tho.
but i guess a forum escrow could be used for a cash deal, but i'm not really sure how the process to confirm cash did exchange hands.

just thought i should mention that so some newbie doesn't get it twisted and think they will be 100% safe using escrow.

The buyer (OP) must deposit fiat funds into escrow and provide their Bitcoin address. The seller sends the Bitcoin to the escrow address, and the escrow releases the funds to the seller.
In this case, the escrow must be well-informed or have a strategy in place to prevent potential counterclaims on the payment platform used.

-thank you for saying 5% is a good fee because on this forum so many peoples are trying to gaslight me into thinking its too much even tho i accept cash and its very hard to turn cash back into bank money

-other cryptos i do btc eth sol usdc usdt

-for the methods i can send from revolut or wise and other non refundable methods ( no paypal unless its a small amount and i am the one sending)

-im fine with using escrow
 

im fine using escrow as long as the other party is the one paying for it

I agree that 5% is a very acceptable fee. When I find a seller on localcoinswap that has 5% and actually replies I am happy. Most sellers charge more though, around the 6-9% area, and there are some that think charging double digit fees will bring anybody to deal with them.
Same for p2p in cash, in Japan I mostly paid around 5%, only on "friendly deals" I paid slightly less. So no need to feel bad when other people say it's too much, it's nonsense. It's basically around the bottom range when you talk about p2p.

[/quote] they are getting away with 9% ? if its cash its understandable because i done it its very inconvenient to take cash and then you have to wait to find a seller so you can get rid of the cash on him lol
but 9% if its for wire transfer its a robbery maybe i should get on localcoin and grind to get reputation there witch is the hardest part and also dodging the boat loads of scammers who try to do the refundable methods

Let's bring Bitcoin to armed strangers in Paris:
What could possibly go wrong?

whats wrong with that ? it was my first deal and from what i had heard its extremely unsafe to meetup for crypto so i went armed the first time nothing wrong with being carefull and you went as far as reading all
my posts to find the very first one where i had no experience to try to make me look bad wow but go ahead it doesnt bother me

ps the last person who tryed to make me look bad was bias and he gave up when i proved i wasnt a scammer he vanished never replied never apologized just dissapeard like a coward and i missed having a hater
so would you be the new one now ?

we are talking about a F2F cash deal here. so it has to be done directly between the buyer and seller while escrow holds the coins until he can confirm the seller got paid, or the buyer paid, so the coins can be released.
but the seller can claim they did get the money, or the buyer claiming they paid when they didn't.

if that ever happens, it's gonna be buyer vs seller words, which is why i asked how escrow (assuming an escrow from the forum will even take on a deal like this) could verify it. they could use pictures or a video to document the trade, but those can be faked easily if the escrow doesn't KYC both parties, and most people buying crypto for cash are doing it to avoid that.

nothing, you will just be donating your bitcoin to a very nice gentlemen, who really need them.

i'm curious, what were you armed with? pepper spray? or the old stabby stabby?

OK, I understand, that also requires the physical presence of the escrow agent. The priority is, escrow "secures" the cash in all aspects including its authenticity, not to held the coin (as txid is sufficient to confirm that the coins have changed hands). In practice, this is incredibly complex, not to mention the physical security risks of the escrow party. So your assumption is rarely to happen.

you can do the deal inside an airport or a casino if you are scared or you can even bring your older sister to protect you dont worry

[/quote] ww2 german revolver ;D it was definitly overkill for now because i only do small deals up to 5k so not much to lose anyway

good offer, maybe we can work together sometime!

the one bring a gun to a F2F deal is the scared ones, and i'm not scared, i'm just not stupid.
and doing a deal inside an airport or a casino isn't as safe as you think, someone could always follow you outside, find where you live, or wait until you are somewhere less secure to do some banditry.

was it the M1879 Reichsrevolver (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1879_Reichsrevolver)? or was it another model? i don't know much about guns, but this is interesting.

Yes I am sensing the same thing as well, F2F transaction could be more difficult as many people are trying to hide their identities without being the exposed, and of course if an escrow is require it doesn't make sense because both parties has already meet together which the transaction must take place between the two parties. To me requiring or requesting an escrow should be something like offline transaction where either both body's needs a trusted and reliable forum member to hold their funds on his custody's maybe after the other has transacted the bitcoin then fund has to be released by the other person who happens to be escrow.

update: from now on everyone will pay 6% minimum commision, because it would be unfair that anyone gets a better deal than the top 3 most consistent and trustable customers.

exemple today i had a meetup with a guy who buys 500$ btc and 500$ xmr each month .

i sent him his monero https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/11/03/U66BVo.png

but when it came to the btc he told me to keep the money and to not send the btc to the usual wallet because he is making a new one a " multisignature  something"

so i told him are you nuts you want me to leave without sending you the 500 ?? and he sayd yes i know you wont scam me you look genuine. then i told him alright but really never do this with anyone ever peoples can be legit at first but then change their mind and scam you it happened to me with a guy for just 30$ once.  he still let me keep it , then we sayd bye and he went back to his job ( he was on the lunch break)  and now thats why i dont have a txid for

the btc transaction i just have a picture of his money and i am still waiting for him to send me his new wallet adress 3hours latter...

so this mad man trusted me enough to hold 500 convinced that i wont scam him. wow thats love anyway from now on NOBODY is getting a better deal than him its 6% minimum even if i want to do it at 3/4/5%

you will have to send him a little 5 or 10 usdt tribute to get a pass until someone takes his spot of "favorite customer"

[/quote] im back, no i didnt get kidnapped this time but it was a scam attempt, i will keep it short because this deserves a whole other thread just for this story

so long story short the guy was clueless about this, his cousin had loaned him 10k usdt to start fresh in france all he has to do is help him to sell it and then he has to pay it back within a year

well it was some freaking fake usdt sol and that was the first time it happens to me ever but i had heard about this already.

didnt give him the money and kept the real usdt that his cousin sent to do a test transaction. i wont go into details about this cause im making a thread about it soon
