In the list of active advertisements, review the following details:

  • Price per unit of cryptocurrency

  • Available limit and order limit

  • Accepted payment methods

  • Seller statistics — completed orders (30D), completion rate (30D)

After opening the advertisement, you can review the maker’s terms.

Important: The maker's terms listed in the advertisement are part of the agreement. If they do not suit you, do not create the order — choose another advertisement.

In the User Information section, you can find additional details such as the average transfer time, the number of days since the first order, the total number of reviews, and feedback from other users.

These indicators help you assess the counterparty’s reliability before creating an order.

Step 4. Create an Order

On the order creation screen, enter the amount in fiat or specify the amount of cryptocurrency you want to buy. The system will automatically calculate the corresponding value.

Before confirming, carefully review:

  • the price

  • the order limit

  • the selected payment methods

  • the seller’s terms

Important: The maker's terms listed in the advertisement are part of the agreement. If they do not suit you, do not create the order — choose another advertisement.

Step 5. Make the payment

After the order is created, you will see the seller’s payment details.

  1. Transfer the funds exactly as specified, using the selected payment method.

  2. Use only the selected payment method.

  3. Make sure you have enough time before the order expires to:

    • Complete the transfer

    • Click Confirm send.

  • Send payment only within an active order and before it expires.

  • Use only the payment method specified in the advertisement.

  • Do not transfer funds after the order is canceled or has expired.

If any issues arise, file a dispute, and do not cancel the order prematurely.
