What do users say about Paxful?

Among lots of advertising from Paxful itself, you’ll find many online reviewers warning that its a “silent scammer” with bad customer support, which is available by phone, email and community forums. Some not only call out specific sellers by name who failed to deliver but also Paxful for not offering recourse. Still others claim they aren’t able to message vendors without initiating a trade.

But it’s not all bad news: Many come away happy with what they call the “Uber of Bitcoin.” To ensure your own happiness, carefully research the vendor you intend to do business with before initiating your transaction. Don’t simply rely on Paxful’s rating system, If your seller asks for your PayPal password to transfer bitcoin by phone, corresponds in broken or very bad English or asks for a deposit, cancel the deal and find another seller.
