• Creating an offer
• Trading as a seller of cryptocurrency
• Trading as a buyer of cryptocurrency

Creating an offer
With the simplified version, you go through a similar process as with the classic version. However, you have additional payment-specific requirements to choose from. Chat is avoided, as trade instructions and requirements are built into the trade flow. Here's an example using a PayPal offer:

1. Start creating an offer to sell your cryptocurrency as usual.
2. Select PayPal as a payment method — a new section will appear with the list of payment methods.
3. Click Lite trade to apply an automated trade flow to your offer.
4. Select the ID proofs you want to request from the buyer.
   Note: The ID request can be removed from the trade process if you've already traded with the buyer before and they have successfully verified their ID with our Compliance Team.
5. Scroll down and tick the Proof of payment box if you want the buyer to upload proof of payment during the trade.
6. Enter your email in the Your PayPal email field.
   Note: Your email is only shown to the buyer after you view and approve the proof you requested from them.
7. Continue with the offer creation flow as usual.
   Note: If your trade requires a security deposit, you'll need to make the deposit before your offer becomes visible on the marketplace.

Trading as a seller of cryptocurrency

Step 1
When a trade starts, wait for the buyer to upload the documents. Optionally, click Chat with buyer to switch to classic trade chat.
Once the buyer uploads all proofs, they'll appear on your screen.
Note: At this stage, only the buyer can cancel the trade.

Review the proofs and click Accept next to each image.
Note: If you don't accept a proof, click Reject — the buyer can then try uploading a new file.

Step 2
Wait for the buyer to make the payment. Start a chat if needed by clicking Chat with buyer.
Once the buyer confirms payment, click the Proof of payment icon to view it.
Tick the box to confirm you've received the payment.
Click Release to send the cryptocurrency from escrow to the buyer's wallet.

Note:

• Click Chat with buyer to switch to classic chat if you need to clarify details.
• Click Start dispute if there's an issue with the payment or suspicious activity from the buyer.

Tip: After a successful trade, don't forget to leave feedback for your trade partner.

Trading as a buyer of cryptocurrency

Step 1
Once a trade starts, click Upload to begin uploading the proofs requested by the seller.
Note: You can click Cancel trade at any point during the process.

Choose a file and click Upload.
Note: There are three ways to upload a file:

• Choose a file from your device.
• Provide a direct link to a file.
• Take a photo with your device.

Repeat for all requested proofs, then click Send to vendor.
Note: The seller can switch your trade to classic chat at any time.

Wait for the seller to review your proofs. Once accepted, Step 2 activates.

Step 2
Once your proofs are accepted, Step 2 becomes active.
Note: If the seller rejects a file, you'll be returned to the previous step to upload a different document.

Click Upload to add proof of payment the same way as before.
After making the payment and uploading proof, click Payment complete.
Step 3 activates.

Step 3
Wait for the seller to release the cryptocurrency.
Once successful, you'll get a notification confirming the funds have been transferred to your wallet.
