C2C Guide to Selling Cryptocurrency

C2C (Consumer to Consumer) trading is a popular peer-to-peer method for buying and selling cryptocurrency. On OKX’s C2C platform, sellers can choose buyers based on factors like:

Seller credibility (ratings, completion rate).
Payment speed (average payment time).
Supported payment methods (bank transfer, e-wallets).
Competitive pricing.

OKX ensures secure asset delivery during transactions without charging fees.

FAQs

1. What if the buyer doesn’t pay?

Open a dispute via Appeal. OKX moderators will investigate delayed/non-payments.

2. How long does video verification take?

Typically under 24 hours. Higher limits unlock post-approval.

3. Are there fees for selling?

OKX doesn’t charge fees, but payment providers (e.g., banks) might.

4. Can I cancel a sale?

Cancellations are possible before the buyer pays. Post-payment, resolve disputes via Appeal.

5. How do I avoid scams?

Verify buyer ratings.
Never share sensitive data (passwords, 2FA codes).

Best Practices

Screen buyers: Prioritize high-rated users with fast payment history.
Secure transactions: Use OKX’s escrow—never release crypto before confirming fiat receipt.
