Buy and Sell Cryptocurrency with Debit/Credit Cards on Paxful
Paxful allows you to buy or sell cryptocurrency using debit or credit cards, including prepaid cards. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you complete a trade:
Before You Trade
Before purchasing cryptocurrency, ensure your debit or credit card has sufficient funds and is not restricted by daily limits or geolocation blocks.
TRADING PROCESS
1. Finding an Offer
Start by searching for a seller who accepts your card type. Enter the amount you want to buy and choose your preferred currency.
Once you find a suitable offer, review the offer terms to understand the seller's requirements. After opening the trade, detailed trade instructions will appear—these vary depending on the payment method used.
2. Creating Your Offer
You can also create a custom offer to buy crypto. Keep these tips in mind:
Set a margin you’re comfortable with (note that negotiations during a trade aren’t allowed).
Write clear offer terms and detailed trade instructions.
Once your offer is live, wait for a seller to initiate a trade. When they do, you'll receive a notification. Discuss any necessary details with your trade partner and proceed with the payment.
COMPLETING THE TRADE
After sending the payment and uploading proof, be sure to click "Paid"—this step is crucial. If you don’t mark the payment as made, the trade may expire, and the crypto will return to the seller.
The seller will then verify the payment and, once confirmed, release the cryptocurrency to complete the trade. This may take a little time, so be patient.
AFTER THE TRADE
Once the trade is finalized, you can leave feedback for your trade partner. If you had a good experience, consider adding them to your trusted list for future transactions.
