FAQ
Is Paxful still working?
Paxful has been winding down. If you need an active P2P venue, consider NoOnes for escrowed trades and global payment coverage.
How does escrow work on NoOnes?
When you start a trade, the crypto is held in escrow. After the seller confirms receipt of your payment, NoOnes releases the crypto to your wallet.
What does "I have paid" mean?
It notifies the seller that you have sent payment per the offer instructions. Click it only after paying, then wait for release.
Do I need KYC?
KYC requirements vary by payment method, limits, and counterparties. Follow in‑app prompts as needed.
What are the fees?
Fees depend on payment method, spread, and network costs. Offers show relevant costs before you confirm a trade.
Is P2P trading legal in my country?
Regulations differ by jurisdiction. Check local rules. On NoOnes, use on‑platform chat and escrow for compliant, safer trading.
Definitions & cautions
- Escrow: crypto is held until the seller confirms payment
