What is P2P Trading?
Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading lets you buy and sell cryptocurrency directly with other users — without relying on a traditional order book. Instead of matching orders automatically, P2P connects buyers and sellers who agree on a price, payment method, and trade amount. The platform acts as a neutral intermediary, holding the seller's USDT in escrow until the buyer confirms payment.
P2P is especially popular for converting fiat currency (such as EUR, USD, or CZK) to crypto and vice versa, because it supports a wide range of local payment methods — from bank transfers and Revolut to cash deposits and mobile wallets. It provides a direct, flexible, and often fee-free way to enter or exit the crypto market.
How P2P Trading Works
Three simple steps to buy or sell crypto directly with another user, protected by escrow at every stage.
Find an Offer
Browse available buy or sell offers. Filter by cryptocurrency, fiat currency, payment method, and amount. Choose an offer that matches your needs or create your own.
Make Payment
Once you accept an offer, the seller's USDT is locked in escrow. The buyer makes the fiat payment using the agreed method — bank transfer, Revolut, or any other supported option.
Receive Crypto
After the seller confirms that payment has been received, the escrowed USDT is released to the buyer's wallet instantly. If a dispute arises, our team arbitrates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is P2P trading?
P2P (peer-to-peer) trading is a method of buying and selling cryptocurrency directly between users without a traditional order book. The platform provides escrow protection and a marketplace where buyers and sellers can find each other, agree on terms, and complete trades safely.
How does the escrow system work?
When a trade is initiated, the seller's USDT is automatically locked in escrow. The USDT remains locked until the buyer confirms that fiat payment has been made and the seller confirms receipt. Only then are the funds released. If either party raises a dispute, our support team investigates and resolves it.
What payment methods are supported?
BITmarkets P2P supports over 100 payment methods including bank transfers (SEPA, SWIFT), Revolut, PayPal, Wise, mobile payment apps, digital wallets, and more. Available methods vary by region and the individual offer.
Are there fees for P2P trading?
Makers (users who create offers) pay 0% fees. Takers (users who accept existing offers) pay a small service fee. All fees are transparently displayed before you confirm a trade.
How long does a P2P trade take?
Most trades complete within 5–30 minutes, depending on the payment method. Bank transfers may take longer due to banking hours. Each offer specifies a payment window during which the buyer must complete the transfer.
What happens if there is a dispute?
If a dispute arises — for example, the buyer claims to have paid but the seller has not received the funds — either party can open a dispute. Our support team will review the evidence (payment receipts, chat logs, transaction records) and make a fair decision. The escrowed funds remain locked until the dispute is resolved.
Risk Disclaimer
P2P trading involves buying and selling cryptocurrency directly with other users. While BITmarkets provides escrow protection and dispute resolution, all trades carry inherent risk. Fiat payments are made outside the platform and are subject to the terms of the chosen payment provider. Always verify payment receipt before releasing escrowed funds. Never share sensitive account credentials with your trading counterpart.
