Hi Guys,

I notice today that Cex.io is trading ETH for $760 while other exchanges are trading it for $710.  This looks a bit suspicious to me.

Does anyone use Cex.io or have experience with them?  Also, is it normal for ETH to trade for so much higher on their platform?  I understand like 2-5% difference, but 10% higher is a bit off to me.

Fiat transfers are not good. Just see the official cex trhead, there you will see alot of complaints anout transfers taking several weeks up to months.

So cex is okay when NOT dealing with fiat transfers.

I never using Cex.io before but in this forum I can see few report topics about the problem related to cex.io exchange. I think you should avoid trading on this exchange. Poloniex, Binance, Bifinex, Bittrex, I think these exchanges are the best choices for you if you want to trade Smiley. When a cryptocurrency have different price between 2 exchanges, they often disable withdraw or deposit of this cryptocurrency so don't think that you can money by this way Smiley)

I have been using coinexchange for some couple of months now, and I must say, I haven't run into any troubles with them.
The simpler interface makes it cool and nice from me, basically, I prefer it over most other trading platforms that I have used.

I believe that Cex.io is a decent exchange, although lacking in some areas. Their fees are relatively low at 0.25% taker and 0.16$ marker, and their volume is decent. Also, margin trading is cheap. However, the spread is quite wide for such a big exchange. They don't have stop order nor limit orders for margin trading. I have never tried depositing or withdrawing fiat, but I have heard many complaints about it.

Ok so it seems like mixed reviews.  Is there a catch with their prices?  How come ETH/USD is $700 on most exchanges, but $760 on cex.io.  I don't understand why people would pay so much there?  And what's preventing someone from buying at one exchange for $700 and selling at $760 on cex.io?

simply read my response. it is the explanation to your question...
(if you sell high on cex, it takes ages to get the fiat back. So if you can live with that, go and take the opportunity to make money)
read the last few pages of complaints here:

Hell, no, cex.io has been scamming a lot of people, they have a lot of pending payments in there and they are not able to handle all of them because they have a lot of demand and they do not have a proper staff for doing so.

that is why they are not answering to support tickets.

Better to stay away from this, if you want to exchange, just use a traditional exchange, not this one.

Cex.io is one of the Oldest Cloud Mining Website Where We Can exchange Between currencies , But they have many trading terms and condition , Such as to buy Ripple from exchange , You have to buy minimum 40 Ripple To Buy currency.
But i will suggest do not Do trading due to high Trading fees

I always met a problem when I do trading in Cex.io website. the withdrawal takes so long. but for trading its good as usual. so I think is the cex.io good trading platform? I can say yes, its good and I like the interface. but for withdrawal, it sucks.

It is better not to change your trading platform after every while, because this can also be one of the factor to start frustration in your attitude towards business.

Moreover if you will use different platforms, then you will start making comparison of them, and it is of no good and just a wastage of time. Lately these activities will consume more of your precious time in which you can concentrate on some other better things.

C-cex.io is working very well and the difference you are seeing happened most times across most of the popular exchangers platforms. I have been trading on this platform for quite some time now and I have never have any problems with them. Most times region affect some assets price and we have to take advantage of this as a traders to make money through arbitration. Outside ethereum most of the altcoins there has different price compared to bittrex and hitbtc.

I never use cex as trading platform but i ever seen any complaints from their users about tranfer fiat.
I am not sure how they deal with crypto transfer, but if i know 1 problem then i will not try to use it.
