Which coins and fiat currencies does the platform support?

Please refer to P2P Order Limits for the full list of coins and fiat currencies supported on P2P Trading. 

 

 

 

Do I need Identity Verification (KYC) to perform P2P Trading?

As a P2P Block Trader, can I be both a Block Advertiser and a Verified Advertiser at the same time?

Yes, as long as you meet the conditions of Block Advertisers and Verified Advertisers. However, you will need to make the corresponding security deposit. If you have two identities at the same time, two identity symbols will be displayed; advertising ranking and appeal order processing priority will be based on the highest priority of the bulk advertiser.

How is the 30-day completion rate calculated?

The 30-day completion rate is calculated as follows:

The number used for the 30-day completion rate is based on the transaction record for the last 30 days.

 

 

 

Does canceling the order have an impact on my completion rate?

When you, as a buyer, cancel an order, your completion rate will be affected, while the seller's completion rate will not be impacted.  However, if the issue is on the seller's side, the buyer can choose to attribute it to the seller by selecting the cancel reason under Seller Issue.

 

If the seller acknowledges that the cancellation is due to their own actions, the buyer's completion rate will remain unaffected, but the seller's completion rate will be impacted. If the seller does not acknowledge their responsibility for the cancellation, the buyer has a one-time opportunity to appeal. Please refer to this guide for canceling orders and managing your completion rate.

 

Note: Exceeding the cancellation limit will lead to a 24-hour restriction on your ability to engage in P2P Trading. During this time, you will be limited to waiting for the restriction to be lifted.

Does Fast-Track Appeal and raising dissent follow the P2P Terms of User Service and P2P Appeal Handling Rules?

Yes. The P2P Terms of User Service and P2P Appeal Handling Rules apply to all types of appeals and dispute handling in P2P, including Fast-Track Appeal and Dissent raised after Fast-Track Appeal.

 

 

 

 

 

For P2P Security 

Is P2P on Bybit secure?

If you’re a seller, please make sure you’ve received the funds from the buyer before releasing your coin.

 

 

Can I use someone else's payment account for P2P Trading?

No. We only accept a payment account with the same name as your Identity Verification on Bybit.

 

 

 

My counterparty is involved in fraudulent activities. What actions should I take?

If you have been scammed and experienced a loss of assets, we strongly advise you to promptly submit an appeal through the respective P2P Order Details page. To submit an appeal, you can refer to the guide provided here. In case you are unable to submit an appeal via your P2P Order Details page, you have the option to submit a Webform or contact our Livechat support for further assistance.

If you solely intend to report the fraudulent conduct of the counterparty, please refer to the guide provided here to report the counterparty or you may block him/her by clicking on "Block him/her" located at the bottom of their profile page.

 

 

 

How can I report someone who is involved in malicious behavior?

There are several approaches you can employ to address the unethical conduct of the other counterparty, including the Block, Review, and Reporting features.

 

 

a. Block Feature

If you no longer wish to engage in trading with someone, you have the option to block the user. You can find the Block him/her button at the bottom of the user's profile page.

What should I do if I receive a Risk Warning pop-up message?

If you encounter a high-risk transaction or risk warning pop-up message, please follow the instructions to submit the relevant document. For more details, you may consult this article: FAQ — Fiat Transaction Error or Risk Warning.

 

Why was my purchased coin in P2P locked for 24 hours?

The asset locking strategy provides a 24-hour buffer against potential loss of user assets due to illegal funding, such as money laundering activities on the platform, to the greatest extent possible. It reduces the risk of bank accounts being frozen and ensures a secure trading environment for users.

 

During the asset locking period, buyers cannot withdraw or sell coins deposited through recent P2P transactions until the time is reached. For example, if you initially have 100 USDT in your Funding Account and buy 200 USDT through P2P trading, the actual amount of assets under the asset lock strategy is 200 USDT. As a result, you can only withdraw the initial 100 USDT deposit, and the remaining 200 USDT will remain in your account.

 

 

 

Why can't I find Order Chat Box messages that are older than six months?

To safeguard users’ privacy, we will regularly purge information in the Order Chat Box that is older than six months. As a result, we encourage users to prompt reporting and resolution of any detected irregularities in their orders. Please refer to this article for more information on how to handle order appeals.

How to post a P2P advertisement?

Please refer to How to Post a Trade Ad on P2P for more details.

 

 

 

How to display my advertisement at the top of the search?

 

 

According to Bybit’s P2P Advertising Sorting Rules, the Top Picks for New Users is the current top priority displayed on the P2P advertisement page.

 

In order to post a Top Picks for New Users ads, you must fulfill the following criteria: 

1. Become a VA advertiser

2. Make a tradable ads

3. Post advertisements with smaller limits (≤100 USDT)

   • HKD currency is not subject to this restriction.

4. Have a better price than other competitors.

 

In case there is no novice advertisement, the second priority, Special Recommendation ads, will be displayed on top.

 

 

 

Why couldn't I find my ads listed on the P2P advertisement list?

The reasons why your listed ads cannot be found in the P2P ad list are as follows:

1. You do not meet the requirements for publishing advertisements.
2. The transaction amount is lower than the minimum limit set for the advertisement. For example, the advertisement is set at 100 USDT for sale with a minimum of 10 USDT per transaction. If someone buys it, only 8 USDT is left in your available balance, the ads will be taken down.
3. The ad is currently in rest mode.
4. The ad has been automatically delisted by the system due to the account has not been logged in for more than 30 days.
5. High number of disputed orders:
   1. If there are more than 20 disputed orders, all of your ads will be temporarily hidden. The ads will automatically reappear after you manage to reduce the number of disputed orders to 15, and this won't affect the ads sorting.
6. High number of incomplete orders:
   1. For the buy direction: When there are 15 incomplete orders, the buy ads will be hidden. They will become visible again when the number of incomplete orders reduces to 10.
   2. For the sell direction: When there are 50 incomplete orders, the sell ads will be hidden. They will become visible again when the number of incomplete orders reduces to 40.
7. If none of the above rules apply to you, you may have triggered the system's risk control strategy. The advertisement will be temporarily hidden for 24 hours, during which the platform will conduct a comprehensive investigation and evaluation. After 24 hours, if the evaluation passes, your advertisement will resume displaying; if the evaluation fails, your advertisement will be taken down, and you will receive a corresponding email notification.

For P2P Super Deal Coupons

What are P2P Super Deal Coupons?

P2P Super Deal Coupons are a form of discount voucher designed for P2P users, offering a reduction in the total amount of their USDT taker purchases. Users can claim P2P coupons in the Rewards Hub and use them when buying coins in P2P. Using a Super Deal Coupon will actually reduce the amount of fiat currency paid on a transaction.

 

Example

Supposing that the Unit Price is of 1 USD = 1 USDT, trader A received a P2P Super Deal Coupon of 5 USDT. He wanted to buy 25 USDT with USD:

• Using the P2P Super Deal Coupon, he will only pay 20 USD to receive 25 USDT.

• Without the P2P Super Deal Coupon, he will pay 25 USD to receive 25 USDT.

 

Currently, P2P coupons can be used for all fiat currencies supported by P2P. For more details, please check FAQ — Rewards Hub.

 

 

 

How can I earn P2P Super Deal Coupons?

To earn P2P Super Deal Coupons, go to your Rewards Hub and check on the available tasks for your account. These tasks will offer various rewards, including the Super Deal Coupons. The rewards will be available once you complete the relevant task. It is also possible to earn P2P Super Deal Coupons during events or campaigns. Please note that Super Deal Coupons will be distributed to your account within the next 5 minutes after claiming it.

 

 

 

How much less can I pay after using a P2P Super Deal Coupon?

The face value of P2P Super Deal Coupons is calculated in USDT, which means that you can pay less fiat currency for the crypto currency corresponding to the face value of the coupon. Therefore, after using the coupon, the specific amount of fiat currency you can pay less is affected by the purchase quantity, advertising unit price and P2P coupon denomination.

 

When using a Super Deal coupon, the discounted purchase price is calculated as follows:

Discounted Purchase Price = (Purchase Quantity - Coupon Value) * Unit Price

 

Examples

• If the Unit Price is of 1 USD = 1 USDT, with a P2P Super Deal Coupon of 10 USDT

If Trader B buys 100 USDT, the amount he will need to pay is :

Purchase Price without Super Deal Coupon = 100 * 1 = 100 USD

Purchase Price with Super Deal Coupon = (100-10) * 1 = 90 USD

 

Trader B received a 10 USD discount from his Super Deal Coupon of 10 USDT.

 

• If the Unit Price is of 1.2 USD = 1 USDT, with a P2P Super Deal Coupon of 10 USDT.

If Trader C buys 100 USDT, the amount he will need to pay is : 

Purchase Price without Super Deal Coupon = 100 * 1.2 = 120 USD

Purchase Price with Super Deal Coupon = (100-10) * 1.2 = 108 USD

 

Trader C received a 12 USD discount from his Super Deal Coupon of 10 USDT.

 

 

 

How is the discounted price seen in the advertisement list calculated if I hold a P2P Super Deal Coupon?

The prices in the ad list are calculated based on the unit price of the Super Deal coupon with the greatest discount among all of your active coupons.

 

Examples

• If you hold two Super Deal coupons of 10 USDT and 20 USDT, both for orders over 100, the priority will be given to the 20 USDT coupon and the discounted price will be shown with this coupon applied.

• If you hold one Super Deal coupon of 10 USDT for orders over 100 and another one of 10 USDT for orders over 50, the priority will be given to the 10 USDT for orders over 50 coupon and the discounted price will be shown with this coupon applied.

 

Once you enter the purchase quantity in the order page, you will see both the original price of the advertisement as well as the unit price on which the biggest discount coupon will be applied. As long as you reach the threshold for using the coupon, the amount of relief provided by the coupon will not change.

 

 

 

 

 

Why do the discounted prices vary for the same coupon when placing orders with different advertisements?

The preferential price is determined based on the advertising price set by the advertiser. 

 

 

 

Why can't some ads use P2P coupons?

There can be several reasons explaining why some P2P Coupons and Super Deal Coupons cannot be used on some ads:

1. Due to the usage threshold set for each P2P coupon, a coupon cannot be used when the maximum advertising limit is lower than the minimum usage threshold of the coupon. For example, if a coupon usage threshold is 100 USDT, and one advertiser only has 90 USDT left to buy, the coupon will not be applicable on this advertisement.

2. The purchase amount for your order is lower than the minimum purchase limit set by the advertisers, after deducting the coupon quantity. In other words, if the coupon originally allows a 10 USDT discount on a 100 USDT advertisement, but the advertisers' minimum purchase requirement is 105 USDT, you will need to make a 105 USDT purchase in order for the coupon to be applied.

 

 

 

If I cancel my order after using a coupon, will the coupon still be available?

Your coupon can be returned, and you can continue to use it as long as it remains within the coupon's expiration date.

 

 

 

Why didn't I receive a reward after completing the task?

1. If any fraudulent activities such as fake transactions or exploiting the system are detected, the reward will not be issued.
2. The platform conducts quality checks on certain accounts. Rewards will be distributed after the checks, typically 2 days after task completion. Please keep an eye on the gift box icon on the P2P page for updates.
