Frequently Asked Questions
Is Binance P2P safe? +
Yes — Binance holds crypto in escrow until payment is verified, protecting both buyer and seller. Verified merchants have additional KYC checks. Always trade within the P2P interface for full protection.
What if merchant doesn't release crypto? +
Click 'Appeal' in the chat. Binance customer service reviews payment proof (screenshot of your bank app showing transfer + matching reference) and releases the crypto. Resolution usually within 1-24 hours.
Are there P2P fees? +
Binance charges zero fees for P2P. Merchants set their own price (usually 0.5-2% above spot rate). Your effective cost = merchant spread vs. spot market price.
Which payment method is best? +
Instant methods (PIX, SPEI, PSE) are fastest and have the most merchants. Bank transfer (1-3 days) is cheaper but slower. PayPal is risky due to chargebacks (some merchants don't accept).
Can I sell crypto for cash? +
Some local merchants offer cash deposit at ATMs or in-person meetings. These are less common and higher risk — verify merchant rating before agreeing.
