Buying Cryptocurrency

When buying cryptocurrency from another user on Paxful, you buy at a rate set by the sellers. 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

The escrow amount is the amount of cryptocurrency you are selling. It 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 back to the cryptocurrency seller from escrow—Paxful takes no fee.
Some kiosk trades may require a fee besides Paxful's escrow fee. For more information about kiosk trades, check out this article from our Help Center.

Sending and Receiving Cryptocurrency

An external Wallet is a wallet or address outside of the Paxful ecosystem.
Internal Wallet is a wallet inside of the Paxful ecosystem (ie Paxful user to Paxful user).
Network fees are determined by the networks based on current network demand, among other factors, and are not in the control of Paxful.
