Browsing the Marketplace

The marketplace is where you find trade offers from other users. You can browse, filter, and place trades on offers that match what you are looking for.

Navigating to the Marketplace

1. Log in to your account.
2. In the sidebar, click Marketplace.
3. The marketplace page loads with all public trade offers.

Understanding Offer Cards

Each offer card displays:

• Type — Whether the creator wants to Buy or Sell crypto
• Asset — The cryptocurrency being traded (BTC, ETH, USDT, etc.)
• Price — The price per unit of the asset
• Currency — The fiat currency for payment (USD, EUR, HTG, etc.)
• Min / Max Amount — The trade amount range the creator accepts
• Available Amount — How much of the asset is still available to trade
• Payment Methods — Which payment methods the creator accepts (shown as badges, first 3 displayed with an overflow count for additional methods)
• Creator Name — Who posted the offer
• Trade Terms — A preview of the creator's trading rules (truncated on the card)

Important: A "Buy" offer means the creator wants to buy crypto — so if you trade on it, you are the seller. A "Sell" offer means the creator wants to sell — you are the buyer.

Filtering and Sorting Offers

At the top of the marketplace, switch between:

• All Offers — Every public offer

• Sell Offers — Only offers where the creator wants to sell

Sort Order

Click the sort toggle button (arrow icon) to switch between ascending and descending order.

At the bottom of the results, use Previous and Next buttons to navigate between pages. The current page number and total pages are displayed.

Placing a Trade

1. Find an offer in the marketplace.
2. Click the Buy or Sell button on the offer card.
3. A two-step dialog opens:

Step 1 — Enter Trade Details

• Amount — Enter how much you want to trade. The min and max limits are shown, and the input is validated in real time.
• Total — Automatically calculated as amount multiplied by price. Updates as you type.
• Payment Method — Choose from the offer's accepted payment methods.
• Notes — Optional message to the other party.

Click Next to proceed.

Step 2 — Review and Confirm

Review your trade before confirming. This step shows:

• Trade Summary — Amount, price per unit, and total value in a summary grid.

• Fees & Penalties (collapsible section, open by default):
• Manual cancellation fee
• Payment timeout fee + 24-hour trading ban
• Dispute fee (charged only to the losing party)
• Fee amounts are fetched from the platform's current fee configuration.

• Time Limits (collapsible section):
• How long the buyer has to send payment
• How long the seller has to release funds
• What happens if timers expire (auto-cancellation)

• How It Works (collapsible section):
• A numbered 3-step overview of the trade process

• Protection Notice (collapsible section):

• Dispute resolution availability
• Chat support confirmation

Click Confirm to place the trade. You are redirected to the trade detail page.

Note: You cannot place a trade on your own offer. The button will be disabled with a tooltip explaining why.

Other Reasons the Trade Button May Be Disabled

• Restricted from trading — Your account has a trading restriction
• Creator blocked you — The offer creator has blocked your account
• You blocked the creator — You have blocked the offer creator
• Max concurrent trades reached — The offer has reached its limit of active trades
• No more available — The offer's available amount has been fully taken

Sharing Offer Links

You can share any offer with other people:

1. Copy the marketplace URL with the offer parameter: ?offer=OFFER_ID
2. Send the link to anyone.
3. When they open the link, the marketplace automatically:

• Opens the Place Trade dialog for that specific offer
• Shows the offer details and trade form immediately

This is useful for sharing specific offers on social media, chat groups, or with friends.

Tip: You can also share offers from the My Offers page using the Share action in the dropdown menu, which copies the shareable link to your clipboard.
