I've been doing C2C for these years, and the orders I’ve turned down are more than many people’s total trading volume.
People always ask me: after doing OTC for so long, what’s your deepest takeaway?
I usually answer with four words: learn to refuse.
Some people think that in business, you should never turn anyone away. But after nine years of C2C, I’ve become more and more certain of one thing: knowing how to refuse is the prerequisite for surviving in this industry.
Let me talk about an order I declined last week.
The customer came right in demanding 200,000 USDT. The price they offered was even higher than the market rate. They said it was a friend’s introduction, they needed the money urgently, and they kept pushing me to get it done within half an hour.
As usual, I asked three questions: whose money it was, what it was for, and where the customer was located.
Their answers: the money was their friend’s, the purpose was “to repay a debt,” they were out of town, and the card belonged to someone else.
I replied directly: I can’t take this order.
They didn’t understand: you’ve already added to the price—why won’t you do it?
I said: in this order, the money isn’t yours, the card isn’t yours, and the purpose can’t be explained clearly. If I took it, I’d be earning only a few hundred yuan in fees, but I’d be gambling with my bank account, my real-name verification, and my credit built up over these years. No matter how you算 this账, it’s not worth it.
Later, they tried a few other places. I don’t know whether it eventually worked. But what I do know is: in these nine years, every order I felt at the time was “off,” after I refused it, none of them ever made me regret my decision.
Refuse more, and you gradually summarize a few rules of your own:
First, the payer and the person placing the order must be the same. “My friend’s card,” “my company’s money,” and anything like that—I don’t touch it. If the real-name doesn’t match, that’s the biggest red flag.
Second, if the purpose can’t be explained clearly, don’t touch it. A normal businessperson can explain the use of funds in a few sentences. If they stammer and dodge, they’re often unsure themselves.
Third, the more urgent the order is, the slower you should be. Real customers negotiate the price, ask about the process, compare details. Only someone with something to hide will push you to do it faster, faster, faster.
Fourth, large amounts in batches, with full traceability. Don’t skip any step in the required process, and don’t miss any records that should be kept. It’s not about not trusting the customer—it’s about leaving yourself a way out.
Some people laugh at me for being timid and say I missed out on a lot of money. I admit it.
But after nine years, I’m still in this industry. My account can still receive and process payments normally, and my old customers are still working with me long-term. Those “bold” people back then—many have already switched tracks. Some decided they didn’t want to do it anymore; others simply couldn’t continue.
Doing OTC isn’t hard if all you want is quick money. The hard part is making money that you can earn for a long time—and sleep well.
I never chase the biggest orders. I only chase the most stable ones. Some money, if you don’t earn it, that’s also earning—people who understand naturally understand.
