After choosing an exchange and registering, the first question every beginner is facing is: "How to buy and sell cryptocurrency?". Quite a frequent and logical question, because when you first go to the main page of the exchange, your eyes run wide because of the number of buttons and interface functions.
KEY ISSUES:
- where is it best to buy crypto?
- how to buy crypto on bybit?
- what is p2p crypto trading?
- how to buy using p2p on bybit?
In this article, we will answer all these questions and provide complete instructions on how to buy and sell cryptocurrency using cards and p2p trading.
What is P2P trading? How to buy cryptocurrency using P2P trading on the ByBit exchange?
P2P or person to person trading means the process of buying or selling of cryptocurrency directly, without the involvement of third parties and intermediaries. In our case, without the direct participation of the exchange. But at the same time, the exchange controls the security of transfers and acts as a platform on which the exchange between bidders actually takes place.
For greater clarity, consider a simple example: There are 2 bidders. One wants to buy 100 USDT (crypto dollar), the other at this time wants to sell 100 USDT and get 100 USD on his bank card. The first participant submits an application for purchase and transfers money from his bank card to another person's bank card. If a person has received funds in his bank account, he confirms this transfer and the exchange automatically transfers 100 USDT to the buyer's account on the exchange. Additionally, I would like to note that on average, a P2P transaction takes 2-5 minutes. And also the fact that the exchange fully controls the security of funds transfer.
Next, we move on to step-by-step instructions on how to buy and sell cryptocurrency using P2P trading on the ByBit exchange
1. In order to buy cryptocurrency, click on the Buy Crypto button on the main page of the exchange.
2. Next, below we choose P2P trading.
3. On the next page you will find a list of sellers. In this list, you choose the best option for you:
- The bank to which the transfer is to be made.
- Available amount sold by the seller.
- Minimum and maximum amount range that can be used for transfer.
- The exchange rate at which the exchange is made (in our case 31.7 UAH = 1 USDT, in your case will be your national currency).
After selecting the seller, click on the button - Buy.
4. In the next field, enter the required purchase amount in your currency. Below you can see how much it will be in the equivalent of USDT. Having set the amount, click Buy.
5. On the next page, click Pay Now.
6. The next page will contain the seller's details and the bank card number to which you need to transfer funds. After you have transferred the required amount, click on the confirmation button.
7. Confirm your transaction again.
8. After confirmation, you get to the waiting page. The page has a confirmation timer from the seller. Confirmation usually takes 1 minute. In case of problems or lack of confirmation, you can file an appeal by clicking on the button - Submit appeal. The exchange will then review your application and send you the seller's funds.
9. If the seller confirms the transfer, the transaction confirmation page opens. After that, your account will already be credited USDT for which you can actually buy any cryptocurrency on the exchange.
Now let's look at the process of selling cryptocurrency .
1. To sell cryptocurrency and get money on a bank card, click on the Buy Crypto button on the main page of the exchange
