[ANN] ✰ PAXFUL.COM ✰ - peer to peer marketplace to buy/sell bitcoin

[audaciousbeing]

I have a suggestion regarding cancelling trades. The seller can't do anything and must wait hours sometimes until its canceled by the system even If the buyer is AFK. What would be nice is to add the ability to cancel trades If the buyer don't send any messages. That way, you know for sure that he didn't send funds or gift card code or whatever.

It seems the PR or admin of the site is no longer interested in this thread and it's largely due to the increase in their client base which have ranked them as the third largest peer to peer exchange platform in the world while the growing is still there with expansion to other countries of the world.

The concern I actually have is concerning the high transaction fee which is fixed at 0.0008btc irrespective of the amount being sent and regarded as the miners fee, the question is, are the miners that static that they only focus on one fee alone at all times. This should really be looked at.

Newbie has to read this. Too many SCAMMERS on Paxful, offering THE VERY BEST RATE for your btc, i.e market +10% or even much higher. They will force you to release bitcoin first, then they never pay. Even if they pay through PayPal, your PP account will got chargebacks from them. AVOID Paxful and Localbitcoins. They're all SCAMMERS.

You always have to do your due dillegence when trading on any exchange. Even if you are protected by escrow in paxful in this case. Just because paxful offers escrow doesn't mean that nobody will try to scam you on there.

You should never release your funds before you actually receive payment, and you should avoid dealing with any reversible methods on paxful. And if someone is offering 10% over the spot price for bitcoin, then it's going to be a scam for sure.

No point blaming paxful/localbitcoins, if you see a scammer report it to them. That's all you can do. They're not the ones scamming you.

I got a screenshot from a Paxful user who owe me money showing a payment/withdrawal to my wallet. I am waiting for two days for this payment which is waiting in queue. It is 99% sure that the screenshot is fake. The sender pretends email verification of this payment is still required and he is in trouble with that (while the screenshot says "in queue" and not "waiting for email verification").

So I want to ask Paxful users/support:
1) How long withdrawals usually take?
2) Is there a "waiting in queue" status?
3) Is there a email verification for withdrawals?

Thank you! This enables me to have evidence for legal action.

I did use Paxful but that was a very long time ago, so if my memory serves me right:

1. It shouldn't take that long to process (unless they have some technical issues) and then it depends on the bitcoin network.
2. Not as far as I can remember. I believe it's "pending" and not "waiting".
3. Yes, you can activate 2FA using both email and Google authenticator[1].

If you want confirmation from the support, you should probably reach out to them by email. OP hasn't been active for a very long time.

Did you receive that payment?

On Paxful, you have two options to send your coins to another user.

• Sending it to their receiving address
• Sending it by Paxful user.

Send Bitcoin and Tether With Ease Using Paxful Usernames. This feature was launched two years ago.

The sender pretends email verification of this payment is still required and he is in trouble with that (while the screenshot says "in queue" and not "waiting for email verification").

I did not witness too long Withdrawal approval and at the time you wrote your post, it is already two days that are long and strange.
