Phemex offers P2P (peer-to-peer) services, where users can buy crypto with local fiat or sell crypto for local fiat. Please note that different countries may have different purchasing options subject to each fiat partner. To learn more about P2P services, check out What Is Peer 2 Peer Trading?
Here are some basic P2P trading rules before you get started.
1. General Trading Instructions
- Completion of KYC and binding of 2fa is mandatory to start using the P2P service.
- If you are encountering an error message that asks you to switch currency, please switch to local (your KYC country/region) currency for P2P trading.
- Please ensure that the payment method being used during the order is consistent with the payment method that you have selected during advertisement configuration.
- You should never engage in any form of cryptocurrencies trading that is facilitated by a third-party channel, such as social media, chat messaging apps, or face-to-face trading. The Platform shall not and cannot be responsible for any loss of or damages to assets through transactions that are performed or initiated outside of the Platform by the Users. The Platform sets the rules for the transaction between Seller and Buyer, solely to support the user experience on services on the Platform, the Platform is not part of any P2P transactions.
- Both trading parties should bear the additional transaction costs involved in fiat transfers, such as transaction fees required by the payment service provider, unless either party has explicitly agreed to pay for the additional transaction costs before the establishment of trade. Thus, the sending amount should be inclusive of the transaction costs. (E.g. If the order amount is 10,000 USD in total, and an additional 5 USD is charged by the payment service provider, the Buyer should pay 10,005 USD instead of 10,000 USD.) Including but not only limited to RUB, BRL,COP transactions. The Seller should always receive the full amount, and the Buyer is always responsible for fiat transaction fees required by the payment service provider.
2. Buyer’s Instructions
- You need to choose a payment method supported by the Seller and transfer the amount as shown on the order page within the time specified by the Seller. Make sure to tap on/click the “Transferred, notify seller” button after making the payment.
- Please use the payment method with the account owner name that is consistent with your registered name on Phemex (The name must be identical with the KYC Verified name on Phemex.) The Platform does not support non-real-name verified payment methods. The User’s P2P function will be suspended for a minimum of 15 days if a non-real-name verified payment method has been used.
- Do not click the “Transferred, notify seller” button when the payment is not yet made or completed. If you tap on/click the “Transferred, notify seller” button when the payment is not yet made or completed, your Account may be suspended.
- If Users’ preferred choice of payment is through “instant payment” or “quick payment”, then any other payment methods, such as international transfer, shall not be made without the Seller’s prior consent.
- When payment is made in fiat currency to the Seller, please make sure no sensitive words or expressions related to Digital Currency are used in the remarks field/section, including but not limited to words such as “BTC,” “USDT,” “Cryptocurrency,” and “Phemex purchase.”
- If you have completed the payment and tapped on “Transferred, notify seller”, but the Seller fails to deliver the corresponding Digital Assets (hereinafter referred to as “Delivery”) within the specified time frame, you should first communicate with the Seller through the chat box function. Once you have made sure that you have complied with the regulations of the Platform and have correctly performed the procedures stipulated by the Platform (including but not limited to providing relevant legal certificates meeting the platform’s requirements), but the Seller doesn’t respond, you can choose to file an appeal against the Seller. The P2P team may assist you with the complaint based on the appeal-handling rules if requested by the User. However, the Platform is not a party to a P2P transaction. Therefore, the Platform is not obliged to intervene in any disputes between Users engaging in P2P transactions. Please note that Phemex and the Platform hereby reserve the right of any final interpretations and judgments for the sanctioning of appeal cases. Reopening of appeals will be determined at the sole discretion of Phemex and the Platform on a case-by-case basis.
3. Seller’s Instructions
