Help: A list of LocalBitcoin alternatives (P2P marketplaces)

[LeGaulois]

I have tried bisq before but it was too difficult for me. In all that list from OP, what does OP himself use and which has the best prices and good dispute in case I get conned?

Bisq mainly but since you find it too difficult... It may be confusing for some people but once you understand it's easy and their 'anti-scam' system is quite efficient. (Why not using their topic here to ask your questions? Or better with their forum/chat/subreddit)

Localcyptos & Hodlhodl are good alternatives, I believe a lot of people who left LocalBitcoin switched there. However, I can't comment on their dispute system.

Bitcointalk can also be a good place too, I do a lot of deals here regularly

• Paxful.com (No KYC)

Paxful requires KYC (since the 1st of January IIRC):

- Mandatory for sellers (to create a listing).
- If you just want to buy from existing offers, then you can do that without KYC until you reach 1500$ in trading volume.
LocalLightning is no longer operational: https://twitter.com/LocalLightning/status/1238174292698968066

If you don't mind verifying your identity, then Paxful is a good option. I got scammed once (a couple of years back), and they were very responsive and helpful (they banned the user, and gave me his IP addresses).

As mentioned above, LocalCryptos is good too, but liquidity can be an issue sometimes.

Good list, thank you for this. I think it'd be really helpful if you make the list into a table with categories/features like : Kyc(yes or no), supported countries, accepted currencies,payment methods(bank transfer, paypal etc), liquidity,  withdrawal Limit(if any), scam accusations(if any), social media/other useful links , and any other important information I missed out on.

If you want, i can help you arrange all possible links for the table later tomorrow, let me know. I like doing a little quest for links.

Thanks. That will be useful if you can

And if someone could give me a table template according to the characteristics above, because honestly, I'm bad with it

[pugman]

I have made a basic table as of now, its very incomplete obviously, I'll try to find the info I can, but I have had trouble opening a few sites from the list, either its blocked in my country/malwarebytes is preventing its access for me. I think I also missed out the last two names from the list as well :/.

Also I use this site for converting normal tables to a bb code its so much better: https://www.teamopolis.com/tools/bbcode-table-generator.aspx

Consider FiatDex as well. It is a new decentralized marketplace / smart contract. No middle-man or signing up required. Since its new, people will have to add to the offer book themselves.

Frick, I almost forgot about updating the table, although I will have to start from scratch I will do my best to finish the table in the coming week or so, I am still very much occupied with my IRL stuff unfortunately.

The table is broken if I keep orignal texts. Hence, I changed original texts to shorter ones. I hope that the changes don't make anything wrong for the table.

Remind to OP that I gave you the table at that post. It looks nice so I think you forgot to check it.  I only want to help you with what I can do

[LeGaulois]

Excuse me @OcTradism. In reality, I bookmarked your post as a reminder to update it but then I forgot.
I'm so sick these days with symptoms smelling COVID-19.
I update the post right now.

Thanks for the help dude

[gina1980]

please check alternatives.to , there its mentioned coinbaazar.com exchange , and its not there

[coupable]

I don't know how the info there is updated and when it was updated last time. With bitcoin newbies, they can visit that site for basic knowledge and the list of exchanges can be used for start. I wish the bitcoin.org team or cobra will keep the list being updated regularly.

https://bitcoin.org/en/exchanges

[malevolent]

How about adding bitpanda to the list. It's working since 2014 and

Why? It's not a P2P marketplace.

i found no accusations against it.

And I have.

E.g. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5218383.0

Just search for bitpanda in the Scam Accusations board. Same with googling 'bitpanda scam reddit'. Not saying they're blatant scammers, probably just a ham-fisted approach to AML compliance, but that's enough not to recommend them (like most other places).

[gina1980]

This list is incomplete without coinbaazar.com exchange or app , p2p exchange for buying and selling bitcoins , lowest fee exchange , you shall mention this also.

https://cryptoexploit.com/p2p-exchange-coinbaazar-is-setting-the-bar-high-with-low-fees-speed-hundreds-of-global-payment-methods/

[it_head]

Thinking to move away from Localbitcoins fully also. I did pass KYC but it was very troublesome, and lately I notice the prices of the buyers are getting less and less (in my local currency).

I have tried bisq before but it was too difficult for me. In all that list from OP, what does OP himself use and which has the best prices and good dispute in case I get conned?

I got scammed by Localbitcoins.com they ask me to verify more then 1 year. They locked my bitcoins with the reason, unauthorized login, but that is not possible. Because I have google authenticator and email 2FA activated.
Once I pass the verification, they lock my account again, without any reason.
When I resubmit all my papers, then they say: "oh, you need to submit your documents at another chat", then if I do it, they say: "They say I need to verify again".

LBC is scamming its users! - Of course not all users, otherwise they nobody will use them anymore. - But I have some other friends they also get scammed by LBC(yes LBC, not the users on LBC).

LBC have stolen me 2 BTC, they are soo evil.

[Little Mouse]

Kucoin has p2p trading option now. I have come to know about this recently when they announced about BDT/USDT trades. You can get some insights here- https://m.kucoin.com/news/en-kucoin-launches-p2p-fiat-trade-for-the-usd-market-via-paypal-and-more?lang=en_US
As I personally didn’t use the platform yet, I have no idea about the requirements but possibly check soon and update you.

[it_head]

My Bitcoins are still hold by the scam company localbitcoins.com.
The funny thing is they dont even reply to your support ticket where you have upload the KYC pictures. And if you open a new ticket they reply you should to the old ticket, even if its already closed.
