Pricing and limits
A clear price and sensible limits help the right traders find your offer and finish trades smoothly.
Your price
You set the price on your offer, and it stays fixed until you change it. Offer prices don't follow the market automatically. If prices move, your offer can quickly look too cheap or too expensive, so review it regularly, especially for coins whose prices swing.
Before choosing a price, look at the other offers for the same coin, currency and payment method on P2P Trade. Traders compare offers side by side.
Minimum and maximum amounts
Limits decide which trades you'll accept:
- A minimum stops very small trades that aren't worth the time for you.
- A maximum caps how much crypto any single trade can lock and how much payment risk you take on at once.
Remember that Level 1 traders can only trade up to US$500 in total. A very high minimum means many newer traders can't take your offer.
Matching limits to your payment methods
Some payment methods have their own daily or per-transfer limits. If your maximum is higher than what a buyer's bank allows, trades may stall. Set limits that the methods you accept can actually handle.
Time to pay
A shorter time to pay keeps trades moving. A longer one suits payment methods that take more time. Pick what fits the methods you accept.
Keep it honest
Use clear numbers and plain terms. Don't change the deal inside a trade. The price and limits a buyer sees are the ones they agreed to.
