Registering an account on LocalCoinSwap is super fast. There are no lengthy ID verification requirements to get started. As an added bonus, you will also receive a free and secure digital wallet for storing your Bitcoin. If you already have a LocalCoinSwap account, you can login to get started.
STEP 2: Search for Advertisements
Go to the LocalCoinSwap homepage and use the search filters at the top of the page to see what advertisements for Bitcoin are available. You can search via buy/sell, cryptocurrency, fiat currency, payment method, location, or a combination of each. Next, choose a buy advertisement that suits your trading terms and tap the "BUY" button to view the advertisement in more detail.
STEP 3: Open a Trade
On the full advertisement you will see more details such as price, trade limits, seller statistics, and terms and conditions of trade. If you are happy with the trade conditions, enter the amount that you want to buy in either fiat or cryptocurrency and tap the "Buy Bitcoin" button. The seller will now receive a notification that you want to buy their Bitcoin and will accept your trade.
STEP 4: Pay the Seller
Once you receive notification that the seller has accepted your trade and escrowed the crypto, you need to pay them via the trade payment method agreed. Send a message to the seller via the message window to request their payment details as well as ask any questions.
STEP 5: Mark Payment Complete
During this period, the seller's Bitcoin has been held in secure escrow protection on the platform. Once you have paid the seller, you need to tap the 'I have made payment to username' button, to let the seller know that payment has been made. Once the seller verifies they have received your payment, your Bitcoin will be released from secure escrow and will be available instantly in your platform wallet.
