Buying Cryptocurrency
- When buying cryptocurrency from another user on Paxful, you are buying at a rate set by the sellers themselves. These rates vary based on numerous factors such as your verification status, payment method, currency pair (such as USD, EUR, CNY), and order size.
Selling Cryptocurrency
- This escrow amount is deducted from your Paxful Wallet at the beginning of the trade. Upon successful completion of the trade, Paxful receives the escrow fee. If the trade is not completed, the cryptocurrency is released from escrow back to the cryptocurrency seller—Paxful takes no fee.
- Some kiosk trades may require a fee in addition to Paxful's escrow fee. For more information about kiosk trades, check out this article from our Help Center.
