P2P Fees
Fees
Buy cryptocurrency entirely free of charge on Paxful, as only sellers pay a commission.
As a buyer, the price you pay is the price you see. There are no additional fees. To find the best price, search and filter sellers by country, currency and payment method. You can also rank sellers according to their trust rating for peace of mind.
As a seller, the commission you'll pay depends on the payment method. It's just 0.5% for bank transfers, 5% for iTunes and Google Play gift cards, and 1% for most other payment methods. It's free to create a listing, and Paxful's fee only applies when the sale completes.
