There’s a P2P rule I always follow after encountering this kind of situation once.
One time, I was buying crypto on Binance P2P. After I paid, the counterparty messaged:
“Your side’s system is slow. I’ll cancel the order and do the trade directly to make it faster.”
It sounded pretty reasonable, but I didn’t do it.
I wanted the transaction to be completed entirely on Binance P2P.
And from then on, I paid closer attention to the protection layers built into the trade:
🔒 Escrow: The crypto is held in the system during the transaction.
💬 Chat in the order: All conversations are saved so they can be cross-checked when needed.
🛡️ Check the counterparty: Before the transaction, I look at the completion rate, transaction history, and merchant badges if any.
💳 Payment verification: The payment account information must match the order. If the counterparty suddenly asks to change the account, I stop to verify.
A principle I always remember:
If I don’t see the money truly arrive in the account → I don’t release the crypto.
A transfer screenshot is not money. A message saying “I’ve transferred” is also not money.
If the other side pressures you, changes the payment details, moves you to another platform, or makes unusual requests → just stop and check before continuing.
Finally, always keep the order ID, receipt, and chat history. If there’s a problem, these are the crucial pieces of information to include when filing a complaint and contacting Binance Support.
Because you never know—there may be protection layers for you, and you don’t want to step out of them yourself.
If you’re using Binance P2P for the first time, don’t just look at the price and immediately choose a buyer or seller. Before each transaction, check the following 5 steps. 1. Check the counterparty before placing an order Before conducting a transaction, open the counterparty profile and check: Completed orders Completion rate Average payment time Transaction history Merchant badge if available 2. Check payment information After placing an order, double-check the recipient’s name, the account number, and the payment method displayed in the order form.
Hearing this while trading Binance P2P—stop right away :))))
Hello, sis 😅 This trick is old news, how could you fool me 🤣
In this situation, remember 3 things: 👉 No Zalo, Telegram—only chat and trade on Binance P2P. 👉 Don’t trust bill screenshots—only when real money is deposited to your account will crypto be released. 👉 If anything looks suspicious—stop trading, save the Order ID + chat, and file a complaint if needed.
Binance P2P uses escrow to hold funds during the transaction, but we still have to follow the proper process to protect ourselves.
No money received = no order opened. That’s it, fellow traders 🫡
Previously, I once encountered a buyer who messaged me: “Let’s chat on Zalo for convenience, okay?”
I didn’t switch.
Not because I’m certain they’re scammers, but because once a transaction is done on Binance P2P, I want everything to remain on Binance.
The reason is very simple:
🔹 The chat has history 🔹 The Order ID is clear 🔹 Transaction information is saved 🔹 There’s a dispute/complaint process if something goes wrong 🔹 Customer Support has grounds to assist
So if someone asks: 🚩 Move to Zalo/Telegram/WhatsApp 🚩 Cancel the order and trade outside 🚩 Transfer money to another account 🚩 Release first because “I’m in a hurry”
→ I will stop to check first.
It’s not that anyone who asks like this is automatically a scam, but I always choose the option with the lowest risk.
P2P is convenient, but whether it’s safe or not depends on how I use it.
Don’t ignore the built-in layer of protection just because it might be a few minutes faster. 🔒
