Most of the P2P trading platforms right now are in the centralized exchange, it's just sad because the essence of P2P is nothing.
But there are always good and bad effects of this like the centralized exchange will act as the middleman between the seller and buyer, so if you trust your centralized exchange, then it's good.
While using a decentralized P2P platform, you just gonna trust each other but the privacy and essence of being a P2P are satisfied.
Honestly, when I use P2P, it's always in the centralized exchange, and it seems I'm used to it, to be honest. And I have never experienced doing a transaction on a decentralized exchange because none of the DEX I'm looking for have p2p CEX.
Now, to avoid P2P scammers, we should probably just know the rules and regulations that the platform has. I think we won't be in trouble with the transaction, right?
