it is https://paxful.com
Running any peer to peer marketplace is tough. Scammers are everywhere and the scene is wild. Anyone who takes this on deserves respect. We at Paxful make it a policy to stamp out scammers but we also don't ever hold anyone's funds. If there is clear evidence of a scam then our arbitrators will award the victim. This is a murky area and we should all work together to clean up the scene. Localbitcoins has done a lot of good and shown us all how viable p2p really is. Now it is up to all of us to take it all to the next level as a community. This will be how the world gets its bitcoins.
thank you.
Not a helpful enough post, you assume we know what you do, and that we should email you first... I think you should have given yur site link, description , and instruction list first.
Desc from website: BUY AND SELL BITCOIN DIRECTLY. Buy fast with no hassles. Find a seller online in USA or anywhere in the world.
A sponsored article but it has some real gems.
"That is the lesson here. Digital currencies can and will adapt to the population they serve with the help of smart entrepreneurs. They will do so with—or without—the help of banks."
This is a big lesson here and we have seen it in action. Bitcoin is more and more becoming the international glue between a variety of digital local currencies, whether it be Amazon Gift Cards, M-Pesa or Second Life Linden Dollars, bitcoin is serving a real purpose as a trade medium between them all.
This is why we are launching the worlds first global peer to peer bitcoin exchange that is built from the ground up for this purpose. Msg us at for early access.
You will be able to sell bitcoin for anything and the mainstream users will have the easiest fastest ui for buying bitcoin instantly. Win for all.
See you in a week at https://paxful.com
Thank you.
We have many sellers who will take your One Vanilla card and give you bitcoin. You can always find one who will do this trade. They handle thousands of these trades so you are in good hands. All our sellers are verified.
https://paxful.com/offer/find/prepaid-debit-card
This link will give you a list of all vendors accepting your card. Just start a trade, upload what they ask and you have instant bitcoin.
Good luck :)
I wouldn't trust that URL, the official site is here:
It's a peer to peer market place so it's only as legit/trustworthy as the people you're dealing with. I'd just pick a seller with a good reputation. You could also try Paxful.com which is a similar service.
Buy a prepaid vanilla visa/mastercard in cash anywhere in US > https://www.onevanilla.com/onevanilla/stores.html
Goto paxful.com and open a trade with any of the dozens of traders who accept Vanilla giftcards
Receive bitcoin after uploading photo of the card and receipt, the rate is anything from 50 to 95 cents on the dollar depending on time of day, demand from sellers etc
It is an easy way to get started with bitcoin anonymously with small amounts, for larger amounts and better rates you would need to signup to an exchange and undergo KYC/AML probing
edit: Why the downvotes? Is my post not informative? does it not meet some r/bitcoin circlejerk criteria I am unaware about?
I process alot of One Vanilla cards on paxful. https://paxful.com/buy-bitcoin/prepaid-debit-card#content Localbitcoins and paxful are the only places to buy btc with prepaid debit. Scammers do try and peep in but I've gotten pretty good at sniffin em out.
very awesome!
Do you keep the bitcoin or get it turned to fiat?
Our first product was a point of sale for retail business and many NYC restaurants signed up. https://vimeo.com/103642459 https://paxful.com//merchant
If you keep the bitcoin you should consider selling it on Paxful. We have a few greek traders selling bitcoin but they cannot keep up with the demand.
Go to literally any bitcoin exchange site. And buy the bitcoin. It gets placed in your own virtual wallet that you have to keep the key to. Keep the key backed up on a separate storage device and a second one just in case you lose one or whatever. It’s literally just changing your current currency for a different one.
https://paxful.com/bitcoin-wallet this is a random one you can use. There are tons and they are all the same imo.
Most places have verification that can take a while. I think LibertyX is faster. And there's always LocalBitcoins and Paxful.
If any Italian is here and is using PostePay, get your bitcoins directly from Italian bitcoin seller, under 1 hour!
https://paxful.com/offer/EyN6e466mpn
Also we have sellers with SEPA

You can buy prepaid credit cards with Bitcoin. You need to lookup first whether the merchant you want to use accepts prepaid cards. Some don't. Google fi doesn't.

In Canada I prefer to use paxful.com as opposed to local bitcoin for P2P trades as they offer much more payment menthods.
For example I can go to a 7/11 buy a gift card and trade it there for BTC instantly
there are p2p exchanges like paxful where users trade with each other ebay style and don't go through any exchange.
try stopping Bitcoin when I pay Rakesh for it with a bank transfer and "bananas" in the message field
Bitjuk is in no way backed up or associated with Paxful.
The URL that is directing to his "profile" on the paxful site is a phishing website. You can easily check that by taking the username, going to https://paxful.com and searching for that user.
One option would be to use something like Paxful.com or Localbitcoins.com where you go to a convienance store and buy some type of gift card like Amazon card and exchange that card code for Bitcoin. You'll pay a higher price but you'll be more anonymous than an exchange and you can do it without an ID.
Another option would be to try to earn bitcoin by offering some type of goods or services for it.
Anyone has a chance to win here. The top 3 affiliates will get a prize but 7 people who refer over $10 USD also has a chance to win 1 BTC.
It is as simple as sharing your link or putting it in your forum signature or a FB or twitter post. https://paxful.com/affiliate-program

What is the deal with paxful? Offers to buy $10,000 worth of bitcoin at $400 each. Though they also claim the sellers have no risk, so these offers wouldn't be scams. Surely they are not legitimate though, people just make ridiculous offers then abandon their accounts? Seems cluttered and unsettling. It also seems like there could be some opportunities for good markup though, wonder how well you could arbitrage; sell bitcoin for $290 on paxful then buy back in at $265 on bitfinex.
We do not sell bitcoin. The trader now doing all the gift card deals has excellent feedback and goes the distance to help people. https://paxful.com/user/tolan77
We don't spend 20 hours a day walking raw newbies thru buying and using their first bitcoin for nothing. We're here to bring bitcoin to the mainstream. Traders like Tolan are doing us all a huge favor handling these $5-$20 orders
I sell both on localbitcoins and paxful, had a flood of orders from paxful in the last few days (not sure what they are doing to bring in the backpage ladies)
Alot of the people do not know much about bitcoin must have helped out about 20 people from about 50+ sales and also gave the guys at Paxful alot of feedback, it is refreshing seeing features added daily when the likes of localbitcoins are only bothering to do cosmetic UI changes :( and have no implemented various suggestions i made to help us traders
I sell $10 the first time via giftcard which can be bought with paypal, credit/debit card or googlewallet/applepay
same username on as here on both sites :)
Hi,
We built this merchant Point of Sale especially for brick and mortar business. https://paxful.com/merchant
We support CAD and all currencies.
It is a super simple web app that works on any smart phone or tablet. supports multiple taxes and multiple items. just enough to be as simple as possible and satisfy merchants needs. We built it for a few Nyc restaurants like this one.https://vimeo.com/103642459
Give it a shot and if you have question's we'd love to help. Every brick and mortar merchant that adopts bitcoin is a huge win for the community and that is a beautiful thing.
-Thanks
Also you can kinda count on the table on this site. For the most part it has been right. Sometimes they surge during the times listed but for the most part I have paid not as much during the times listed here as any other. I also always check between 1-3am UDC

> you can trade bitcoins for gift cards from P2P Marketplaces for bitcoin trading like paxful.com
For those who want to brave the world of Bitcoin, I traded the $25 I-tunes code (which I would never use given I don't own any apple products) and got some bitcoins.
Some sites like below allow you to convert gift cards to bitcoins. Fair warning - there is definitely a cut of the value; however, if $25 itunes was worthless to you, you might see what bitcoins might bring lol.
Thanks Marlboro - I know have a new currency lol.
Paxful will let you exchange pretty much anything for Bitcoin, no ID needed. Best method I found was buying a physical Amazon gift card using cash then sending the Bitcoin seller on Paxful pics of the card & receipt. They take a hell of a commission but it works & is particularly great if you want to buy anonymously.
Been very busy since the split but I still buy my bitcoins through Paxful.
Read up if you are Interested: https://paxful.com/support
And here's their Admin supported school over at FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/684534571738652/
No, you would have to find a buyer on localbitcoins or paxful, which can be risky and expensive.
Your best bet would be to sell the Google Play credit to a friend for cash, and then buy Bitcoin with the cash.
Well, Mycellium is at "Meh" level, tolerable at the very least.
Agreed on bitstamp as well which is why I'm back on Paxful and deepweb/darknet(Try at your own risk).
If you're going to try Paxful, read up on their knowledgebase and get some tips inside their admin supported Facebook groups:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/684534571738652/ https://paxful.com/support
Here's the video tutorials as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa58WhEX8MfnZOpjjEJVdqA
Well, it depends on the platform.
I.E: I use Paxful to sell some of my bitcoins for a bigger rate because I have +29 positive feedback.
You can exchange them for gift cards or bank transfers, whatever is better for you. In any case Paxful has 300 payment options and you get to dictate the terms.
Here's their guides: https://paxful.com/support https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa58WhEX8MfnZOpjjEJVdqA
Also, If you have a Facebook they have a tutorial on how to sell/buy in their platform.
they charge 0.0008 btc which is the usual mining fee at high? with the sky high price of bitcoin that is pretty high but that is normal for everyone and they do not get those fees readup on bitcoin scaling. I asked them the same question and they gave me their support article on it. https://paxful.com/support/what-about-sending-out-bitcoins-from-my-wallet-and-the-bitcoin-network-miner-fees-who-pays-and-when/
I have done many trades on paxful
they have multiple payment methods for multiple currencies.
if they don't have a trade type you like, you can create one, and wait for moderator approval.
there are scammers on there, staff is quick to ban them. watch out for users with low trade numbers.. everyone else great.
paxful is constantly upgrading the site, someone from staff is always available.

You could try the following if you're trying to be more anonymous:
There really aren't many good options since Paypal is very risky for the sellers, but you could try the following, although you'll pay a premium for them:
fast? I have some offers up on paxful and lbc gift cards. onevanilla. u can get coins in like 2 minutes if u got a cash receipt. https://paxful.com/buy-bitcoin/onevanilla-visamastercard-gift-card#content
They help get Bitcoin into the hands of those who need it but aren't necessarily sure where to start.
You can start a trade for target gift cards here. https://paxful.com/offer/j4Exo7Vbe2v
There are also sellers taking paypal my cash cards https://paxful.com/buy-bitcoin/paypal-my-cash
Even walmart cards https://paxful.com/offer/R39dmAWXe2D
Just click buy, and start a trade, you will be in a live chat with the seller direct. follow their instructions. most don't want any ID. Paxful doesn't ask for any id from buyers.
This is the easiest way now.
Skip the slides and GIVE 5 people a bucks worth of bitcoin right away
most important thing is to GET them some bitcoin asap even a dollars worth so they can use it and SEE.
the wallet doesn't matter but bread wallet, pheva and airbitz are the simplest.
Tell them to hit up some of the paypal sellers on paxful and buy some bitcoin. https://paxful.com/buy-bitcoin/paypal
Paxful is a peer to peer market so you trade direct with others. Some dudes, say Paypal dudes ask for Id, but bank cash deposit dudes and western union ones don't ask for anything except a receipt.

Hello, u/Bernd121. Thank you for raising this to our attention and we're sorry to hear about the trouble. Upon checking, we see that you canceled the trade. Once a trade is canceled, the bitcoin is automatically released back to the vendor. If you suspect there is an issue with the trade, please do not cancel the trade. Instead, start a dispute so that our moderator can intervene and resolve the issue.
Typically, when a seller asks you to cancel the trade, it is usually a sign of a scam. You can learn more here: https://paxful.com/support/en-us/articles/360016119994-Potential-risks-when-trading-cryptocurrency.
For our team to review the trade, please file a support ticket using PaxBot on our website. Head over to our website, paxful.com, and using Paxbot, type "Support Ticket" and simply follow the prompts. Our support team will reach out to you through email once a support ticket is filed. Thank you for your patience.

Hi, u/calcaneale! We retain Personal Data for the period necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or for such periods as required by applicable law.

We make efforts to delete your Personal Data once it is no longer required for any of the business purposes described in our privacy notice. Thank you.
Hi u/Scary_Dragonfruit667, thanks for reaching out. Please allow some time for our moderator to review your dispute and make sure that you have followed and provided the exact evidence requested by our moderator. You'll be notified in the trade chat once there's an update.

Hi, u/Sufficient-World3724.
We're sorry to hear this. However, please know that we never restrict accounts without a good reason. Accounts get restricted when our system detects an issue on the account's offer, trade, verification request, etc. Don't worry, our support team will email you instructions on how to restore your account once the review is complete.
Also, you've made some good points in this post but please keep in mind that we have to follow certain compliance protocols. As much as we want to promise our users that they can access their accounts within a specific time frame, multiple reviews must be done.
Here's our article about account restrictions:

Hi, /u/Scary_Dragonfruit667. Please note that it takes 2-6+ confirmations before we make your balance fully available. This is the industry standard for a truly secure wallet. It can take anywhere from five minutes to an hour or even more depending on the current speed of the Bitcoin network. Unfortunately, we have no control over the blockchain and it can get quite congested at times. You can learn more about it here: https://paxful.com/support/en-us/articles/360009350934-How-long-does-it-take-to-receive-a-Bitcoin-transaction-.

We hope this helps!
