Risk warning. Crypto is volatile and trading involves risk, including the loss of your capital. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This content is educational and is not financial advice.
Steps
- Open P2P, choose Sell, and either take a buy ad or post your own sell ad.
- When a buyer places an order, your crypto is locked in escrow.
- The buyer pays you and marks the order paid.
- Confirm the money arrived in your own account — check your real M-Pesa/bank app, verify the amount and sender name.
- Only then release the crypto from escrow.
Golden rule
Never release before confirming payment. See Never release crypto before payment confirmation.
