Buy and Sell Cryptocurrency

Buying Cryptocurrency

  • Buying Cryptocurrency

    In this guide, we'll teach you how to buy your first cryptocurrency from Noones in three simple steps. If you want to create your own offer, please see our article on creating offers

    Step 1: Setting up search requirements

    • Create an account or log in to your Noones account
      • Hover over the Buy arrow, and click your preferred cryptocurrency to show the page with offers to buy cryptocurrency.

    Tip: Using your phone? Click the hamburger icon and choose one of the options from the list that appears.

    • Click Show All or Any Payment Method field and select your preferred payment method to buy crypto on the dialog box that appears.
      • Alternatively, click View offers for all payment options to see the list of all payment methods available.
    • Click Any Currency and select your currency from the list. Enter the amount you want to trade in the Any Amount field.
      • You can leave the Any amount field empty if you do not have any specific amount in mind.
    • Select your country from the Location list.
    • Click SEARCH FOR OFFERS. The offer list is updated according to your search requirements.

     

    Step 2: Finding an offer

    • Browse through the list of offers — The list begins with offers that have:
      • Sellers with the best rating and reputation.
      • Sellers who are the most active on the platform and are ready for instant trade.
      • The most profitable margin.
    • Check the tags and labels for additional information about an offer. When you find an offer you like, click Buy to show the Offer Page

    Note: Your trade hasn’t started yet, at this point.

    • Study all details of the offer such as:
      • Buying limits — is the offered amount neither too low nor too high?
      • Seller’s rate — does it look profitable for you?
      • Time limit — will you manage to execute the payment within this timeframe?
      • Offer terms — is the seller requesting additional documents or having specific requests as part of the trade procedure?
    • Enter the amount you are ready to trade in the traditional currency field or cryptocurrency field. Click BUY NOW.
      You can click Take a Tour to receive a walk-through of the process in case you have any questions or doubts.

    Note: At the moment when the trade starts, the cryptocurrency rate is fixed and will not fluctuate.

     

    Step 3: Trading

    • Discuss the necessary details with your partner using our trade chat and follow their instructions carefully.
    • Make the payment.
    • After making the payment, click the I have paid button.
      • When the Self Declaration dialog box appears, click Yes, I have paid.
    • The seller releases the crypto from the trade escrow — The trade is completed successfully and the crypto will be available in your Noones wallet.

    Note:

    • Click the Dispute button for any trouble or disagreement to invite our moderators to investigate the case.

    Tip:

    • After the seller of cryptocurrency has released funds from the trade escrow, consider leaving feedback. This helps other traders to understand who they are dealing with.
    • You can click Add Username to your contacts to add a user to your Trade Partners list and to quickly trade with them in the future — This will help you to create your own trading community with users you trust.
    • If you need a public receipt of the transaction, click Public receipt at the bottom of the page.

    Check our Tips for Buying Cryptocurrency for more information. If you want to sell cryptocurrency, explore this page Selling Cryptocurrency.

  • What are Noones Verified Offers?

    Verified offers have been vetted by the Noones team to ensure they’re listed by trusted members of the community. 

    Finding verified offers

    Once you’ve made a decision on what you’re looking for, customize your search with the following:

    • Type of cryptocurrency you’ll be buying
    • Currency you’ll be using
    • Payment method you’ll be using
    • Purchase amount

    From there, just use the toggle to only see verified offers.

  • India's Income Tax Law

    Beginning July 1, 2022, income tax law in India will require income taxes to be paid for the transfer, meaning the sale or exchange of any virtual digital asset (VDA) such as cryptocurrency.

    Anyone who purchases cryptocurrency from a seller located in India will be required to pay a 1% tax on the sale, regardless of where the buyer is located.

    This tax isn't collected or remitted by Noones, as all members of our community are responsible for reporting their income to the appropriate government agencies and paying any applicable taxes.

    If you'd like more information about tax law or your specific circumstances, you'll want to contact a legal or tax professional.

  • Tips for Buying Cryptocurrency

    Buying cryptocurrency can be tough at first, so we've prepared these guides to get you started and help you complete a trade on Noones.

    Minimum Trade Amount

    If you’re buying, the current minimum is 10 USD or its equivalent in other currencies. If you’re selling, the minimum is 0.001 BTC.

    Seller’s reputation and activity

    A seller’s reputation is displayed with a green thumb. This is the total of all of the positive feedback the seller has received.

    Clicking on the seller's name will show their full profile, where you can see how much negative feedback they've received in addition to the positive. You can also see their location, all of their active offers, and other important information about them.

    Tip: Pay attention to each type of feedback positive and negative.

    Despite having more than 10,000 positive feedback and 1,000 negative feedback, you should still be cautious about such users. Pay attention to the percentage of negative feedback in relation to the negative and positive ones.

    Also, do not forget to check for how long a user is present on our platform, and to make sure that you will have a quick trade without any delays from the seller’s side, always consider the seller's last seen status. 

    Additionally, it is also much better if the seller is ID-verified — This means that we have checked his documents and background.

    Always read the seller's offer terms and instructions before you start a trade

    Sellers should mention what they expect and what you will need to provide.

    Gift cards for example, most of the sellers require a receipt to prove that it was bought legally and to establish that you are indeed the owner of the gift cards. If this information is requested:

    • Unable to provide - do not to proceed with the trade.
    • Able to provide - have everything ready before you start the trade.

    Be aware of the price

    The Bitcoin price in Noones is never equal to its official market rate as sellers charge a fee to convert traditional currency into Bitcoin. The price of the fee varies among sellers and depends on who you buy from, so be on the lookout for the best deals.

    The offer page always includes the rate of each seller. What should interest you the most is how much you get on dollar. The higher the number, the more profitable the trade will be for you.

    Click the Paid button only when you have sent a payment

    Once you’ve clicked the Paid button, the countdown timer stops and the trade can no longer expire. This button provides security from dishonest or forgetful sellers — If you had sent the payment or payment info such as gift card codes to the seller and the offer expires, the escrow will release the cryptocurrency back to the seller's wallet leaving you with nothing. 

    If you click the Paid button and you haven’t paid, the seller might think you’re a coin-locker or someone trying to scam them.Be sure to only click the button once you’ve paid to prevent complications.

    Don't cancel the trade if you have sent a payment

    We know that problems sometimes arise during trades, but it's important to never cancel the trade once you've already paid the seller. If you've paid for your crypto but something has gone wrong, you can start a dispute.

    Starting a dispute brings a Noones Moderator in to help with the situation. If you cancel the trade after the payment has been made, getting a resolution is not guaranteed and the Moderators will not be able to help. 

    Brokering of gift card codes is strictly prohibited

    Brokering is when you buy a gift card code from someone, thinking you can sell it later to someone else. Even if you checked the code when you bought it, the person who sold you the code can use it anytime without your knowledge, and this is why it is against the Noones Terms of Service.

    If you keep trying to give sellers used codes, you will be reported and banned from trading on Noones as it is not only a waste of your own time but also that of others. Remember to only use gift cards you have bought yourself.

    Third-party payments is not allowed

    You must be the actual payer and be the original owner of the submitted payment (Owner of the gift card, credit card, bank account, an account of online payment platform). Being a middleman in paying for the cryptocurrency is not allowed and can be considered as a scam.

    Always trade for the whole amount of the gift card

    If you have a $50 gift card, you can't trade that partially.

    Example: Asking someone to only take $33 out of your $50 gift card

    The seller can only take the whole amount, so if you start a trade for $33 and he takes $50, the only way to get your change back in cryptocurrency is by starting a new trade for the difference, which is also not guaranteed as the seller’s ranges may not meet that amount or the seller may take down their offers or go offline.

    Never ask the seller to release the cryptocurrency first

    This is grounds for an instant ban as it indicates a scam. We have an escrow service, so you know the crypto is there and waiting for you once you complete the payment.

    Be polite to sellers

    They go through a lot of tough customers and being polite can save you a lot of time. Being polite is about a lot more than your language; it’s about following their instructions as well. Note that if there is a dispute, the moderator will take language into account.

    Not Interested? Cancel!

    If you are no longer interested in the trade and have not yet paid the seller, feel free to cancel the trade. It will free their escrow and let them continue to trade with others who are interested. If you don’t cancel the trade and leave it hanging, the seller will have to file a dispute or report you, which will probably result in you getting negative feedback.

    You can see all of your active trades on your dashboard. Click Chat to open the trade, and click Cancel to cancel them.

    Also, remember that any price negotiation is strictly forbidden. If you do not like the offer, do not insist on changing the price in the same trade. Just start a new trade with new values to avoid any disputes or misunderstandings with the seller.

  • Buying Cryptocurrency with In-game Items

    Noones allows you to trade cryptocurrency for in-game items from popular video games such as skins, weapons, game balance, and more. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

    Before trading

    Before you start buying cryptocurrency for in-game items, make sure you have the means to prove that the item was transferred to your trade partner. Whether you choose a game currency, boost, or skin, you must ensure you have the means to verify the transition of the item.

    Warning:

    • Selling accounts is prohibited. 
    • Don’t disclose any information (eg. your Noones or game account login details) to the sellers.
    • Don’t take the risk by transacting outside of Noones trade flow as it isn’t protected by Noones secure escrow.

    Trading

    Searching for an offer:

    The first step in buying cryptocurrency for game items is to look for an offer that accepts this type of payment. You can also specify the amount you wish to buy and the currency you prefer.

    Choose the best rate of cryptocurrency to have the highest profit possible. Also, pay attention to the reputation of your potential trade partner. And finally, read through the offer terms and trade instructions carefully. 

    Talk to your trade partner in the trade chat. Clarify how exactly the in-game item will be delivered and decide whether your trade partner is okay with the product before proceeding. 

    Creating an offer:

    You can also create your own offer to buy crypto with game items.

    Here are a few things to keep in mind:

    • Set a margin you find profitable as negotiations during the trade is not allowed
    • Write clear offer terms and instructions
    • Use offer labels to highlight essential information such as the item type and the name of a game
    • Consider including FAQs section—think what questions trade partners may ask
    • If necessary, mention the following:
      • the game server where the exchange should take place;
      • will the delivery happen “face to face”, via game mail, or any other in-game exchange channel;
      • required game character level, etc.
    • Be clear about what proof of payment you can offer to your trade partner, for example, screenshots of an in-game transaction.

    Once you’ve created and published your personalized offer, wait for a seller to start the trade with you. Once a trade has started, you will receive a notification. Feel free to discuss all the necessary details with your trade partner on the trade chat, and proceed accordingly.

    Completing a trade

    Once you have provided all the documents requested by the seller, click Paid. The last step will be for the seller to confirm receiving the payment. Please be patient because this may take some time. Once the seller has confirmed the payment, they should release the crypto to you and the trade will be complete.

    Tip: Do take a screenshot of your proof and keep it as it may be useful in case of a dispute.

    After trading

    Once the trade is completed, you can leave appropriate feedback for your trade partner. Also, if you like trading with the same user in the future, you can add them to your trusted list.

    The first step in buying cryptocurrency with Bank Transfer is to look for an offer that accepts Bank Transfers as payment. You’ll also need to enter the amount you wish to purchase and the currency you prefer.

    After you find a suitable offer, you’ll need to read and accept the offer terms before the trade begins. These offer terms are set by Noones and it outlines how the trade should be carried out.

    Once the trade starts, the trade chat will be disabled. We will automatically send the buyer and seller’s bank account details to each other making Bank Transfers even safer and easier.

    Creating an offer:

    You can also create your own offer to buy cryptocurrency with bank transfers.

    Here are a couple of tips for your bank transfer offer:

    • Set a margin you find profitable as negotiations during the trade is not allowed
    • If you’d like to use the old Bank Transfer process and set your own offer terms, choose “Other Bank Transfer” as your payment method.

    After creating and publishing your personalized offer, wait for a seller to start a trade with you. Once a trade has started, you will receive a notification. Head to the trade to see all the necessary details and transfer funds to the account provided.

    Completing a trade

    Once you have paid the seller and uploaded proof of your payment, click "Paid". Your payment is not confirmed unless you click Paid and if you forget to do so, the trade will eventually expire and the cryptocurrency will automatically go back to the seller's wallet.

    The last step is for the seller to confirm the payment. Please be patient because this may take some time. Once the seller has confirmed the payment, they should release the cryptocurrency to you and complete the trade. 

    After trading

    Once the trade is completed, you can leave appropriate feedback for your trade partner. Also, if you like trading with the same user in the future, you can add them to your trusted list

    Check our rules for selling cryptocurrency for more information. In case you want to buy crypto, see the following guide. If you want to create your own offer, please see our article on creating offers

  • Rules for Selling Cryptocurrency

    If you are a Noones seller, make sure to follow our basic rules when selling cryptocurrency to keep the marketplace safe and secure.

    1. Accept your responsibility for possible risks.

    We at Noones do as much as possible to increase the level of security on our platform. However, you, as a seller, should accept all risks and liabilities that come with trading. It is up to you to protect yourself from malicious users and obvious scams. Check our security guide and safety tips for more information. 

    2. Brokering gift card codes is strictly prohibited on Noones.

    Brokering is when you buy a gift card code from a third party and resell it later to someone else. This goes against the Noones Terms of Service and is strictly prohibited. This rule applies both to e-codes and physical gift cards. 

    3. Be responsive to buyers.

    • If you are not at your computer, please deactivate all your offers. You can easily do it from your Dashboard. This will also help you avoid having your BTC locked in a trade escrow if a buyer starts a trade during your absence.

    • When a buyer starts a trade with you, say “Hi” and let them know you are ready to trade.
      Example: “Hi, I am ready, please follow the instructions and you can have your cryptocurrency in no time!“. This message may sound too simple and obvious. However, according to our statistics, a high number of canceled trades are due to an unresponsive seller. Please show to the buyer that you are ready.

    4. Maintain a civil tone with your trade partners.

    Offensive language and disrespectful tone are not allowed on our platform. Be understanding to buyers as some of them may lack trading experience. If you face any serious issue with your trade partner, do invite our moderators by starting a dispute.

    5. Write clear offer terms and trade instructions.

    • Have both offer terms and trade instructions in a simple short bulleted or numbered list. Read more on how to write good offer terms and trade instructions. This is relevant when creating your own offer.

    • If you have special payment-related procedures that may delay the release of cryptocurrency for a longer period, make it clear for the buyer. This must be frankly stated in your offer terms and trade instructions. You must make sure that the buyer understands that the release of cryptocurrency may be reasonably delayed. Release time may not exceed the time stated in your terms. (Remember that Noones advertises p2p service as instant.)

    • Write concise offer terms. The buyer sees offer terms before he starts the trade. It may contain important information about the trade.

      Example: uploading a photo of ID, uploading a cash receipt, accepting physical gift cards only, etc.

      Note that buyers avoid offers with complicated terms. Clear offer terms also give advantage in case of a dispute. Never leave this section blank while creating an offer.

    • Write clear trade instructions. Trade instructions are shown to a buyer once a trade starts. Instructions give additional guidance to your trade partner and should consist of clear steps.

    • Provide your customers with helpful aids and examples if necessary. For example, if you require them to upload a selfie with a photo ID, then put an example picture.

    6. Be aware of the minimum trade amount on our platform.

    It’s important that you know what the minimum trade amount set on Noones. Currently, the minimum trade amount is 10 USD to buy cryptocurrency.

    7. Do not use third parties for payments. 

    You are the person responsible for accepting and processing payments. If you have no control over the payment and you transfer responsibility to others, this can be considered as fraud. For example, in the case of bank transfer, you should be the account owner, in the case of altcoins, you should be the owner of the wallet, etc.

    8. Off-escrow trades are not allowed.

    It’s important that you do not give other users your contact information to do a trade outside Noones trade flow. Noones escrow must be used at all times or your account may be banned. By avoiding paying escrow fees to our platform while trading outside our escrow service, you expose your BTC to much higher risk as our investigation team will not be able to assist you in case of an argument.

    9. Price negotiations are strongly forbidden.

    A buyer of cryptocurrency must pay the exact price that is set for trade. If during a trade both sides agree to change the amount, a new trade must be re-opened for the correct amount. Price negotiations within the same trade are against our Terms of Service.

    Check our guide on how to sell cryptocurrency on Noones to have an overview of our trade flow.

    10. Do not use absurd margin rates. 

    Do not use absurd margin rates in fixed rate offers, otherwise your offers will be lowered in the Offers list below.

  • Selling Cryptocurrency for In-game Items

    In addition to gift cards with a game balance, some games offer an option to gift in-game items such as resources, skins, weapons, etc. We are happy to offer you an opportunity to sell crypto for in-game items. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

    Before trading

    Before you start selling cryptocurrency for in-game items, make sure you have the means to check if the item was actually transferred to you. Whether you choose a game currency, boost, or skin, you must ensure you have the means to verify the transition of the item.

    Warning:

    • Buying accounts is prohibited.
    • Don’t return the in-game item under any circumstances after you have received it.
    • Don’t take the risk by transacting outside of Noones trade flow as it isn’t protected by Noones secure escrow.

    Trading

    Searching for an offer

    The first step to selling cryptocurrency for game items is to look for an offer that accepts this type of payment. You can also specify the amount you wish to sell and the currency you prefer.

    Choose the best rate of cryptocurrency to have the highest profit possible. Also, pay attention to the reputation of your potential trade partner. And finally, read through the offer terms and trade instructions carefully. 

    Talk to your trade partner in the trade chat. Clarify how exactly the in-game item will be delivered to you and decide whether you are okay with the product before proceeding.

    Note: If after the trade has started you are being offered an item that is different from the advertised one, be extra cautious.

    Creating an offer

    To sell crypto for game items, you can also create your own offer.

    Here are a few things to keep in mind:

    • Set a margin you find profitable as no negotiations are allowed during the trade.
    • Write clear offer terms and instructions.
    • Use offer labels to highlight essential information such as the item type and the name of a game.
    • Consider including FAQs section—think what questions trade partners may ask.
    • If necessary, mention the following:
      • the game server where the exchange should take place;
      • will the delivery happen “face to face”, via game mail, or any other in-game exchange channel;
      • required game character level, etc.
    • Be clear about what proof of payment you expect from your trade partner, for example, screenshots of an in-game transaction.

    Once you’ve created and published your personalized offer, wait for a buyer to start the trade with you. Once a trade has started, you will receive a notification. Feel free to discuss all the necessary details with your trade partner on the trade chat, and proceed accordingly.

    Completing a trade

    Once you’ve received the item and the buyer has marked the trade as “Paid”, you can release the cryptocurrency from the trade escrow. Click the Release button only if you are absolutely sure about receiving the payment. Remember that cryptocurrency transactions are final and irreversible.

    After a trade

    Once the trade is completed, you can leave appropriate feedback for your trade partner. Also, if you like trading with the user, you can add them to your trusted list.

  • Special Offer

    Special offers are a type of a trade which is sent to specific trade partners. Unlike classic offers, Special offers can only be accepted by the person it was sent to. All trades are protected by escrow, so if your trade ends up in a dispute, a moderator will step in.

    When should I use a special offer?

    A few examples of using special offers include:

    • Trading with someone you know personally, but still want the security of escrow.
    • Repeating a trade but with slightly different terms.
    • Sending a counter offer with adjusted terms.
    • Giving your trade partner a discount compared to your classic offer.
    • Sending a private offer that you don’t want to be seen publicly.
    How can I create a special offer?
    1. Start by sending your trade partner a message in the chat. You can send a message from their profile (click ‘Start Chat’).
    2. Once you’ve agreed on a trade, click the plus button next to where you enter messages and choose ‘Special Offer’.
    3. If your account is not verified to create offers, follow the instructions to complete verification.
    4. After that, you will see the form to create a special offer. From there, you can customize your trade requirements including trade type, payment method, amount, margin etc.
    5. Once the special offer is created, you and your trade partner can view the offer terms and can start the trade. Please note that the cryptocurrency rate is locked once the offer is created. If the market rate changes significantly after you’ve created your offer, you can cancel it and create a new one.
    What if I received a special offer?
    1. Make sure you agree with the terms with your trade partner before starting the trade. 
    2. If you don’t agree with the terms do not start the trade. You can talk to your trade partner about adjusting the terms in the chat if necessary. You can also send a counter-offer yourself (check out how to create a special offer above).
    3. Once you agree to the  terms, click ‘Start trade’.
    4. From there, you’ll be redirected to the trade chat to complete the trade. Please note that the contents of the trade chat are visible to Noones moderators. Only send payment confirmations, gift card numbers and other trade-related information in the Noones trade chat, or our moderators may not be able to help in case of a dispute.
    5. If the trade is successful, you’ll be redirected back to the private chat. If you need to trade again, you can create a new special offer.
    6. If the trade results in a dispute, a Noones moderator will step in to help. Please note: the moderator will not see your private chat, they will only see the special offer terms and the trade chat, so make sure that the terms always reflect the actual trade.

You won't be able to create a new offer or start a new trade using restricted payment methods. If you have current offers using restricted payment methods, those offers will be deauthorized.

    If you are temporarily living or traveling in a country where a payment method is restricted, but you have proof that the payment method belongs to you, please:

    1. Take a screenshot of the account that displays your name
    2. Provide proof that you are only temporarily in a restricted country, and proof of address or documentation from your country of origin

    Buying and selling cryptocurrencies using Bank Transfer is automated to make trading even easier and safer for you.

We’ve also introduced new Offer Terms for Bank Transfer trades, which have been set by Noones. These Offer Terms outline how the trade will proceed. 

    Note: If you’d prefer to stick with the old Bank Transfer process, choose “Other Bank Transfer” as your payment method.

    6. Set the rate, offer trade limits and offer margin before continuing to “Next Step”. 
    7. You’ll now see “guided trade”, “no third parties” and “receipt required” set as the Offer Tags by default. The “guided trade” tag is mandatory. You can remove or change the latter two tags to suit your needs.

    9. Click “Create Offer” and your offer will be live!

  • How to find your Transaction ID (TXID)

    Whenever you send crypto to an external wallet address, your transaction will have a specific Transaction ID (TXID), which consists a long string of numbers that identifies your transaction on the blockchain like a digital receipt. The person you're sending the crypto to might request your TXID to prove that it has been sent successfully.

    Here are the 2 easy steps to find your TXID in Noones:

    1. Click "Wallet" at the top of the page
    2. Click "ALL OPERATIONS" at the bottom of the page.

    You'll then see a list of all of your transactions, including the Transaction ID for each. 

  • How to Avoid Chargebacks

    Chargebacks happen when the other party requests their funds back after a trade. This means, your trade partner can request their funds back even after you received the payment.

    Here are a few things you can do to protect yourself:

    • Chargebacks are usually related to third party payments. If a third party payment was sent, try to get as much information as you can about the account the payment was sent from

    Note: Third-party payments are payments made by someone who the payment method/account does not belong to.

    • Take a look at your trade partner’s feedback history before starting a trade to make sure they aren’t getting feedback about chargebacks
    • If you created the offer, add tags that indicate if you accept third party payments or not. 
      • If the user is ID verified, ask them if they are making the payment with their verified name
    • If you don’t accept third party payments and the buyer is trying to use one, ask the buyer to cancel the trade

    If a buyer has filed a chargeback, take a look at this article to see what you can do.

  • Noones Escrow

    To secure the marketplace, Noones employs various protocols such as escrow to prevent fraud and make the trading experience safe and fair for everyone.

    So how does the escrow work?

    When a trade starts, the seller’s crypto is automatically transferred into a temporary safe deposit account (escrow). Once the payment is made and confirmed, the seller can release the cryptocurrency from the escrow and this will mark the completion of the trade.

    Note: The amount transferred into the escrow is the trade amount plus escrow fee.

    How escrow helps cryptocurrency buyers?

    If you've made a payment and the seller refuses to release your crypto, the seller’s cryptocurrency will stay in escrow until our moderators step in to investigate and award to the deserving party — here's how you can start a dispute.

    How escrow helps cryptocurrency sellers?

    Sometimes a buyer may not be able to finalize the payment for the cryptocurrency resulting in a canceled or expired trade. If you’re the seller in this case, your cryptocurrency will safely return back to your wallet.

     

  • Noones Trades Flow

    All Noones trades flow in a similar way. However, you may encounter some specific cases depending on the payment method you choose. If you familiarize yourself with the process, it’ll make trading in Noones a lot easier.  

    Buying cryptocurrency

    Find an offer on our Buy Bitcoin list. For more information on how to buy crypto see our guide.

    You can also create your own offers directly from your Noones account. See our short guide on how to create your first offer.

    Selling cryptocurrency

    Find an offer on our Sell Bitcoin list. For more information on how to sell crypto see our guide.

    You can also create your own offers directly from your Noones account. See our short guide on how to create your first offer.

    Note: Some payment methods on our platform have automated trade flow. Here is the list:

  • Trade Status

    Trade status determines the progress of your trades and you can view them from your user dashboard when logged in to your account.

    These are the eight statuses your trade could possibly have:

    • Active funded – the trade has started and the seller's crypto are safely held in the escrow
    • Paid – the crypto buyer made a payment and clicked the Paid button
    • Expired – every trade has a payment window for a buyer to make a payment. If the buyer failed to mark the trade as paid, the payment window expires. This means the system automatically cancelled the trade. 
    • Cancelled – the buyer or the seller cancelled the trade
    • Dispute Open – the buyer or the seller opened a dispute
    • Successful – the crypto seller released the funds from the escrow, which will automatically go to the crypto buyer’s wallet
    • Awarded seller – the dispute took place and the funds was awarded to the crypto seller
    • Awarded buyer – the dispute took place and the funds was awarded to the crypto buyer

Disputes

  • How Do I Start a Dispute in Noones?

    We have our dispute system through which conflicts between our users are settled in the fairest way possible.

    Our marketplace offers an opportunity for our customers to freely trade cryptocurrency with each other and a vast majority of the trades go smoothly and successfully. But some cases, it requires an intervention of our moderators. This article will give you an overview of the dispute resolution process.

    Steps to start a dispute

    • In the trade chat, click Dispute.
    • Select a dispute reason from the list and explain what happened clearly in the text box below — Here are the dispute options for sellers and buyers:
      • Cryptocurrency seller: Coin locking, payment issue, other.
      • Cryptocurrency buyer: Unresponsive vendor, payment issue, other.
    • Click Start dispute and check the moderator's message on the trade chat
    • Provide as much evidence as you can, such as:
      • Proof of payment (transaction receipt, a screenshot of payment, video proof)
      • Proof of ownership (transaction receipt, receipt from the store of the gift cards, online receipt, screenshots or video recording)
      • Phone call recording of a conversation with the payment method's customer support.
      • Any additional proof as requested by our moderators.

    The dispute will be investigated by our moderators and a decision will be made based on the evidence provided by both parties. Noones moderators resolve disputes by evaluating trade terms, offer instructions, evidence of payment, trade chat interaction, user reputation, past trading history, as well as data submitted and or collected in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

    Note: 

    • Once you have submitted a dispute request, you do not have to contact our Support. Our moderators will definitely look into your case as soon as possible and reach out to you.
    • Dispute investigation is a complicated process and may take time (up to three weeks). We are grateful for your patience and understanding.
    • Don’t flood the chat with messages as it may hold up the moderator. Wait for the moderator to join the dispute for investigation.

    How to cancel your dispute?

    If you have started a dispute but changed your mind and want to cancel it, do one the following:

    • If you're the crypto seller and the buyer has resolved the issue from their end, click Release to complete the trade
    • If you're the crypto buyer and the issue has been resolved, click Cancel

    Tip: To ensure the best solution possible, wait for a moderator and let them decide on how to solve the dispute.

    Reasons for losing a dispute

    If you lose a dispute, it could be for several reasons. The most common reasons are:

    • You were not able to provide clear reasons and evidence as requested by the moderator
    • The evidence you provided was not enough

    We also check the trading history of both parties to see if you were able to follow the trade instructions or offer terms of the previous trades. A decision is made only when the investigation is finalized to the moderator’s satisfaction.

    The best way to resolve a trade issue is by filing a dispute as soon as possible so that our team can quickly investigate the matter. The sooner a dispute is filed, the more resources our team will have to help resolve the dispute. 

    If you’re not able to file a dispute, it could be due to the following:

    • The trade was cancelled
    • The buyer failed to mark as PAID resulting in an expired trade (system automatically cancelled the trade)

    You can reach out to us about this by sending as much information as you can such as the trade ID, proof of ownership/payment, details of what happened, etc. Our team will then do their best to investigate, take necessary action, and ensure this doesn't happen again in the future, but it is not guaranteed we will be able to resolve the issue.

    Note: Assistance with the inactive trade issues is limited to the cases outlined above. If you experience any issues with the trade, please make sure not to cancel or let the trade expire. We recommend reviewing this guide we put together to help preventing the trade issues.

  • Why did I lose a Dispute? (Gift Card)

    Despite minimal support from gift card services, Noones conducts thorough investigations to resolve gift card disputes. Here are several possible reasons why you may lose a dispute.

    As a buyer, you could lose your dispute due to any of the following reasons:

    • Not providing valid evidence requested within the timeframe given to you
    • Unable to prove that you are the original owner of the gift card. We do not advise selling a card that you did not originally buy — Brokering of gift cards is not allowed
    • Selling a used or invalid gift card
    • The evidence provided was insufficient 
    • A violation of the other party’s offer terms and/or trade instructions
    • Failing to provide proof of payment, not responding to the seller or being inactive in the trade after clicking "Paid" (please note that in these cases, your dispute may be decided in under 12 hours)
    • Other violations of Noones’ Terms of Service

    Warning: Some of these reasons could lead to you being permanently banned from our platform.

    Supporting the trade of gift cards for a cryptocurrency is complicated. The guidelines we follow are to protect the Noones community when a gift card trade is disputed.

    As a seller, you could lose your dispute due to any of the following reasons:

    • You redeemed a valid gift card and did not release the cryptocurrency
    • A violation of the offer terms and/or trade instructions
    • Suspicious trade activity
    • You provided insufficient, false, or edited evidence
    • Other violations of Noones’ Terms of Service

    What to do during a gift card dispute?

    If you enter a dispute, you must be prepared to prove that you are the owner of the card. If you are not the original owner of the gift card, this makes proving the validity of the gift card very difficult. For this reason, sellers of cryptocurrency are highly favored in such disputes. 

    What do we ask for in gift card disputes?

    • A photo of the original gift card with your Noones trade chat clearly visible in the background
    • A complete photo of the original receipt (no cut-offs)
    • For electronic codes (e-codes), an invoice of the original payment and video recording of your bank statement as proof of purchase
    • Proof of conversation with the gift card issuing company’s customer support
    • Any additional evidence as required by Noones (Example: ID Verification)

    Note: Gift card disputes may take up to three weeks to resolve. Following the moderator's instructions and being responsive in the trade chat is important in resolving the dispute in a timely manner. 

    As per our Terms of Service, we remind you that Noones is not a licensed gift card vendor nor an authorized dealer of any gift card issuer, and brokering or reselling gift cards is strictly prohibited on our platform. Noones understands that gift card disputes can be quite challenging and we are continuously working towards solutions to make the trading experience safe and secure for all our users.

  • Why did I lose a Dispute? (Other Payment Methods)

    To keep Noones a safe experience for all, unbiased moderators decide who wins or loses a dispute.

    If you lost a dispute, it could be due to the following:

    • The user did not provide the requested evidence within the given timeframe
    • Suspicious trade activity
    • The user did not submit the trade/hash ID of the transaction
    • Buyer or Seller did not submit a PDF of their bank/online account statement that shows the transaction
    • The user provided insufficient, false, or edited evidence
    • Buyer or seller violated the other party’s offer terms and/or trade instructions.
    • User violated any of Noones’ Terms of Service.

    Note: Some of these reasons could lead to you being permanently banned from our platform.

    What to do during a dispute?

    During a dispute, we recommend that users of both parties adhere to our Terms of Service. At Noones, we try to be as fair and as helpful as possible, and during the process, we recommend that users be forthcoming with information in order to quickly and correctly resolve the dispute. 

    What do we ask for in disputes?

    During a dispute, we also ask for any evidence that may help the moderator make a decision. Evidence can include the following:

    • A PDF of your bank/online account statement that shows the transaction
    • A video recording/screenshot of the online wallet where the transaction that took place
    • The trade/hash ID of the transaction
    • Any additional screenshots that prove you completed the transaction

  • Why is My Noones Account Frozen or Restricted?

    To maintain safe conditions within the Noones marketplace, we take action on accounts that violate any of our Terms of Service. These actions will have a status that restricts the usage of Noones.

    If your account is suspended, you are restricted from using your Noones account. 

    If your account is locked, you temporarily won’t be able to login to your Noones account — this could be because you logged in from a new location, or we may have detected suspicious activity so it’s been locked to keep you safe. For more information, take a look at this article.

    If your account is frozen, you temporarily can’t buy or sell on Noones and you can’t withdraw any funds. 

    If your account has been limited, you are either permanently/temporarily restricted from trading, creating, and editing offers. Although your account is restricted, wallet services will still be available such as receiving, sending, and converting crypto.

    If your account is on-hold, your account is restricted for a period of time for further review. After the time period expires, you can withdraw any funds in your wallet. If your account is not ID verified, you’ll be required to verify your ID before you can withdraw any funds.

    If your account is banned, you are permanently restricted from buying and selling. However, you will still be able to do a one-time withdrawal of all your funds from your Noones account and send it to any wallet address you choose. If you’re from a country on this list, or if you have reached your wallet send out limit, you’ll be required to verify your ID before you can withdraw your funds.

    What causes account restrictions?

    Here are some of the activities that can lead to your account being restricted: 

    • Seller of cryptocurrency asking to cancel the trade after the payment was completed.
    • Conducting a trade outside of Noones trade escrow by communicating through Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.
    • Making a chargeback or reversing the payment after it has been processed.
    • Coin locking or holding a seller’s cryptocurrency in escrow without the intention to make the payment and complete the trade.
    • Unauthorized use of gift cards, such as selling a gift card in multiple trades and selling gift cards that have already been used. 
    • Forcing or tricking a trade partner to immediately release their cryptocurrency.

    Noones has zero tolerance for the following:

    • Using multiple Noones accounts.
    • Using a fake identity or falsified verification documents.
    • Using Noones from a country listed on this page.
    • Unauthorized use of gift cards / chargebacks / defrauding users.

    How do I remove the restriction?

    Some account restrictions such as banned and suspended are not reversible, therefore the actions are final

    However, if your account is frozen, first check your email for information, and then contact Support to figure out the next steps for appeal. 

    If your account is locked, please take a look at this article for steps on how to unlock your account.

    Warning: The quickest way to appeal a restriction of your account is by using our Contact Us form and choosing the following request type: Accessing and using my account > My account is banned, frozen, suspended, or on-hold.

  • My Public Profile

    Your profile contains a summary of your account and your history on Noones. Other Noones users can view the following information:

    • Username
    • Profile picture
    • Verification - information if your email, phone, ID or address are verified,  and you were verified as a trusted vendor.
    • Reputation - an aggregation of the positive and negative feedback that you have received on Noones.
    • Active offers - offers you created that are currently active.
    • Your profile language
    • Number of trade partners
    • Number of trades
    • Trade volume - total BTC you’ve traded on Noones.
    • Number of users who trust you
    • Number of users who have blocked you
    • Time elapsed since you joined Noones
    • Last time you were online on Noones

    As you can see, your public profile will contain all the credentials you have earned on Noones and will help other users decide if you are a safe trade partner or not.

  • Dashboard

    Your dashboard is the hub to track all your activities on Noones and allows you to access all the information you need. See more information in this article.

  • Trusted/Blocked List

    Your Trusted and Blocked list helps you filter your contact list and makes it easier for you to mark whom to trade with on Noones.

    Apart from the various external indicators that can help you decide whether certain users are safe to trade with or not, you can also trust and block users based on your personal experience trading with them.

    Trusting Users 

    Trusting users you’ve had a good trade experience with, is a good way to stay connected with them. For example, if you constantly find that a user trades efficiently with you, you can then mark that user as your trusted user. In this way, their offers will be prioritized in your feed. When creating offers, there are also options where you can choose to show your offer only to your list of trusted buyers.

    Trusting users is a way to make real connections with them, but just like in real life, be careful whom you trust on Noones.

    Blocking Users

    While trusting users is the way to build a healthy trade relationship with decent traders, blocking is for the contrary. If you’ve had a bad experience trading with someone (e.g. it wasn’t as efficient as you’d hoped for, or if you were scammed), you can block that particular user. If you block a vendor, they will not be able to see your offers on their list. Similarly, if you block a buyer, you won’t be able to see their offers on your list.

    Blocking is a way to ensure that the bad apples don’t bother you.

    To trust or block a user follow these steps:

    1. Click on the username on any page (offer list, trade chat, past trades in your dashboard, etc.)
      The user profile opens.
    2. Click Trust or Block links under the username to mark the user as trusted, or to block them respectively.

    Note:

    • You can always undo this action later.
    • You can only block a user if you are ID verified or if you have previously traded with that user.

    To view and manage your blocked and trusted list, go to your Contact list.

    For more information on how to improve your trading experience, please read our safety tips and instructions for good offer terms.

Account Security

  • Keep your Noones account secure with 2FA

    Two Factor Authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of security where the user must verify that they own the account with a code. 2FA is often used to protect the user’s credentials, information, and any resources within the system. Only the user can access their specific 2FA code, which you can get via Authy, Google Authenticator, or Email. 

    To secure your account, we highly recommend setting up your 2FA. Here are the different types of authenticators or 2FA methods you can use:

    Reminder: Before setting up your 2FA, you’ll need to set up your security questions in account settings first.

  • How to Enable 2FA with Google Authenticator (GA)

    Google Authenticator is an application that implements two-step verification services for our users as an added layer of security. It uses a time-based one-time password algorithm and HMAC-based one-time password algorithm for authenticating users of mobile applications by Google.

    To set up 2FA with Google Authenticator (GA) follow the steps below:

    • Download the GA app
    • Once the GA app is installed, login into your Noones account on a different device
    • Hover over your username on the top right corner of the page and click Settings from the menu
    • On the settings menu, click Security
    • On the security page, under Two-factor authentication (2FA) settings, choose Google Authenticator
    • Click Activate now and a QR code appears
    • Scan the QR code with your phone by using the Google Authenticator app. A 6-digit code will appear on the app or you can copy the code for manual setup.
    • Enter the 6-digit code into the field below the QR code. Your code will be automatically submitted once you input the code.
    • Once your code is automatically submitted, a menu will appear.
      • To verify that 2FA via GA is turned on, make sure it says Activated
      • For more security, check all the toggles under the Enable 2FA column
    • When all toggles are blue, you’re done! 2FA via Google Authenticator is set up

    Note:

    To troubleshoot 2FA via Google Authenticator (GA), visit our help center page.

     

  • How to Enable 2FA with Authy

    Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) can greatly enhance your account security. We recommend using Authy as it's more secure.

    To set up 2FA with Authy follow the steps below: 

    • Download the Authy app
    • Login to your Noones account on a different device
    • Hover over your username on the top right corner of the page and click Settings from the menu
    • On the settings menu, click Security
    • On the security page, under Two-factor authentication (2FA) settings, choose Authy
    • Click Activate now and a QR code appears
    • Scan the QR code with your phone by using the Authy app. A 6-digit code will appear on the app or you can copy the code for manual setup
    • Enter the 6-digit code into the field next to the QR code. Your code will be automatically submitted once you input the code
    • Once your code is automatically submitted, a menu will appear
      • To verify that 2FA via Twilio Authy is turned on, make sure it says Activated
      • For more security, check all the toggles under the Enable 2FA column
    • When all toggles are blue, you’re done! 2FA via Authy is set up

    Note:

    To troubleshoot 2FA with Authy, visit our help center page.

  • How to Enable 2FA with Email

    To set up 2FA with email, follow the steps below:

    • Login to your Noones account
    • Hover over your username on the top right corner of the page and click on the Settings button
    • On the settings menu, click on Security
    • On the Security page, under Two-factor authentication (2FA) settings, choose Email
    • Click Activate now
    • Click on Enable 2FA via email and a menu will appear
      • To verify that 2FA via email is turned on, make sure it says Activated
      • For more security, check all the toggles under the Enable 2FA column.
    • You’ll receive a code in the email you used to create your Noones account
    • Input the 6-digit code found in the email
    • When all the toggles are blue, you’re done! 2FA via email is set up
  • Troubleshooting 2FA

    Have problems with your two-factor authentication (2FA)? Here's how to troubleshoot 2FA via Google Authenticator (GA), Authy, or Email. 

    Google Authenticator (GA) and Authy

    If your GA/Authy codes don’t work, it might be because the time on your Google Authenticator app is not synced correctly with your device. Make sure to check the clock and set it to the correct time zone. An incorrect clock can cause codes to be out of sync.

    Email

    If you’re having issues receiving 2FA codes via email, please check the following:

    • Make sure your inbox is not full
    • Make sure emails from Noones are not going into your spam folder
    • Make sure your email is verified on your Noones account
    Note: If none of the mentioned steps worked, you can reset your 2FA by following the steps here or contact our support team. 
  • How to reset 2FA

    Setting up 2FA on your account significantly improves your wallet security, but sometimes you may lose access to your 2FA due to:

    • Your phone is lost or damaged
    • The authentication app is deleted
    • You switched to a new device and the app with all the codes cannot be transferred to your new device

    If this happens, click "Trouble logging in?" when you're asked to enter your 2FA code. From there, we'll ask you some questions and we'll see how we can help.

General Questions and Guides

  • I Sent Funds to the Wrong Address. How Do I Get Them Back?

    Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. The only way to get your funds back is to contact the receiver and request to send them back. If you don’t know to whom the wallet address belongs to, there is no other way for us to retrieve the funds.

    Warning: Always double-check and ensure that the address you’re sending the funds to matches the address of the recipient beforehand. Make sure not to fall into investment scams as well and only send crypto to your trusted person. 

  • What is a Noones Wallet?

    The Noones Wallet is a digital wallet given upon sign-up and allows you to securely send and receive your hard-earned cryptocurrency. Your wallet lets you see your transactions, similar to your online banking account. 

    All wallets come with a wallet address. To send and receive cryptocurrency to your Noones Wallet, you can simply send your wallet address to other crypto users. 

    There are many varieties of wallets available, whether you’re looking for a web or mobile solution—your Noones wallet helps get you up and running ASAP! For more information on wallet restrictions and how to trade cryptocurrency using your Noones Wallet, visit our Help Center.

Bitcoin Wallet

  • I Sent Bitcoin from My Noones wallet but it doesn't appear on the Recipient's Balance

    The Bitcoin you sent may not appear immediately in the recipient's wallet balance but that doesn't mean that the funds are lost. Here are some steps for you to figure out what could have happened:

    1. Make sure you sent the Bitcoin to the correct wallet address. You can check this by going over your transaction history
      • If the recipient’s wallet address is correct, go to Step 2.
      • If you have used an incorrect address, the only way to get the crypto back is by asking the recipient to send them back to you. Visit this page for more information about it.
    1. Check the transaction status on Blockcypher.com or Blockchain.com
      • If you see less than 3 confirmations, give the transaction some more time to be processed  (this may take up to 24 hours)
      • If you see 3 or more confirmations, contact the recipient’s wallet service provider to investigate this situation further

    Note: Don't worry—if you've entered the correct recipient's wallet address, your funds will be recovered.

  • Bitcoin was sent to my Noones Wallet but I don't see it on my balance

    If the Bitcoin sent to your Noones wallet isn’t showing up on your balance, it doesn’t mean that your funds are lost. Here's what you can do:

    1. Make sure that the funds were sent to the correct wallet address. If they were sent from an online wallet, check the transaction history. If they were sent from an ATM, check the transaction history and the receipt
      • If the recipient’s wallet address matches your wallet address, go to Step 2
      • If sent to an incorrect address, the only way to get the crypto back is by asking the recipient to send them back. Visit this page for more information about it.
    1. Check the transaction status on Blockcypher.com or Blockchain.com
      • If you see less than 2 confirmations, give the transaction some more time to be processed (this can take up to 24 hours)
      • If you see 2 or more confirmations, go to Step 3
    1. Check your wallet page for notifications and our Twitter feed for any announcements
      • If you see a message on your wallet page or on our Twitter, just wait for further updates
      • If there is no information about any technical issues, contact Support right away. Make sure to provide us your wallet address and transaction ID.

    Note: Don't worry! If the sender has entered the correct recipient's wallet address, your funds will be recovered.

  • Can I Withdraw Bitcoin from Noones Wallet to My External Wallet?

    You can easily send your Bitcoin from your Noones Wallet to an external wallet as we support major Bitcoin wallet types except for one.

    Noones Wallet allows withdrawals to P2PKH, P2SH, and Bech32 addresses. Here are the 3 Bitcoin address formats currently in use:

    • P2PKH addresses starting with number 1
      • Example: 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2
    • P2SH addresses starting with number 3
      • Example: 3J98t1WpEZ73CNmQviecrnyiWrnqRhWNLy
    • Bech32 addresses also known as "bc1 addresses" starting with bc1 — This is supported by the majority of software and hardware wallets, but only a few exchange platforms
      • Example: bc1qar0srrr7xfkvy5l643lydnw9re59gtzzwf5mdq 

    Additionally, see how to send Bitcoin from your Noones wallet and its fees.

  • How to Check Bitcoin Transaction Status

    Sending Bitcoin from one Noones wallet to another Noones wallet is instant. But for external wallet transfers, you may need to monitor the process. Here’s how to check the Bitcoin transaction status:

    • Look for the transaction ID. You can find it in the transaction history of the sending wallet provider or, in case of ATM, you will see it on the screen and on your receipt. It will look something like this:
      e2e400094he873ec4af1c0ae7af8c3697aaace9f7f56564137dd1ca21b448502s
    • Go to https://live.blockcypher.com/ or https://www.blockchain.com/explorer and type or paste the transaction ID into the search field. You can see how many confirmations your transaction has
      • If you’re receiving BTC in your Noones wallet, the funds should arrive after 2 confirmations
      • If you’re sending BTC to an external wallet, it usually takes up to 6 confirmations to arrive

    This can take anywhere from 20 minutes to a couple of hours depending on how congested the Bitcoin network is. If your transaction says “No Transaction Found”, the transaction never left the sending wallet. In this case, you should contact the service provider of the sender’s wallet.

    Why is a different wallet address showing up on the transaction?
    You may see a different wallet address listed on the transaction inputs, but don't worry, this is normal. Technically BTC is transferred via unspent transaction output, better known as a UTXO. Your Noones wallet manages these for you.

  • Receiving or Depositing Bitcoin (BTC)

    When you sign up for a Noones account, you get a free wallet and a Bitcoin address where you can send and receive Bitcoin. This address is a combination of numbers and letters (both uppercase and lowercase) in no apparent sequence. 

    This address never expires, so just copy it and use it to receive Bitcoin from other wallets or Bitcoin ATMs.

    When receiving or depositing from an external wallet address, it will go straight into your wallet but it’s not always instant. This is because Bitcoin transactions are non-reversible and the Bitcoin network needs to confirm the transaction at least 2 times before the Bitcoin is released into your Noones wallet. Once the Bitcoin is sent, you should get a notification saying “incoming Bitcoin at 0 confirmations” or "Unconfirmed". When that count reaches 2, you should see your Bitcoin in your Noones wallet. This can take anywhere from 20 minutes to a couple of hours depending on how busy the Bitcoin network is.

    To deposit Bitcoin to your Noones wallet:

    • Log in to your Noones account and click Wallet
    • Look for Bitcoin (BTC) currency under Assets and click RECEIVE
    • From there, you can copy your Bitcoin wallet address or use the QR code
    • Enter your Noones wallet address into the app, website, or ATM. If you have scanned the QR-code, your wallet address appears on the screen of the app or ATM automatically
    • Confirm sending Bitcoin to your Noones wallet.

    Warning: Make sure that you are sending Bitcoin and not any other cryptocurrency (Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, etc.). Such transactions can result in a loss of your funds.

    Note:

    • Make sure you have enough funds in the sending wallet or ATM. Be aware of the minimum BTC transaction amount
    • Remember that the person sending the Bitcoin will bear the transaction fee. Usually, the amount you send, the amount you will be charged as a network fee, and the total amount deducted from your wallet are clearly shown to you before you confirm the Bitcoin transfer

    Wait for your BTC to arrive and start trading as soon as you are ready. You can also always check your Bitcoin transaction status.

  • Sending or Withdrawing Bitcoin (BTC)

    Signing up for a Noones account comes with a free wallet that enables you to send Bitcoin to both internal and external wallets.

    To send Bitcoin from your Noones wallet:

    • Log in to your Noones account and click Wallet
    • Look for Bitcoin (BTC) currency and click Send
    • Enter the recipient’s Bitcoin address into the Receiver field, or if you’re sending BTC to another Noones user, you can enter their username. Indicate the Bitcoin amount in the Amount  field and click Continue
    • Select the desired speed for the send-out operation in the Fee section: "express" or "at cost"
      • Express: fast and more expensive; we pay higher network fees for miners and prioritize transaction processing on the platform.
      • At cost: standard and cheap; we use standard network fees and don’t hurry up the transaction.
    • Double-check the receiver’s Bitcoin address (or username) and the amount you are about to send. If you have enabled 2FA for sending Bitcoin, enter your 2FA one-time password into the 2FA Code field and click Send

    You will be redirected to the Wallet page once the bitcoin has been sent out. 

    Note: To ensure a successful transaction status, you can go to the History/All operations tab and check your last outgoing transaction. If you made a transaction to a non-Noones wallet, read our article on how to check the transaction status for such transfers.

    To send Bitcoin to your Noones wallet check out how to deposit Bitcoin. Also, be sure to take a look at Noones wallet fees.

  • How Can I Check the Status of My Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) Transaction?

    Ethereum, Tether, and USD Coin transactions on Noones externally rarely fail but you can always check if your transactions went through.

    When you send ETH, USDT, or USDC from one wallet to another, you can check the status of the transaction through Etherscan for ETH and USDC, Ethereum-based Tether (ERC-20), and Tronscan for Tron-based USDT (TRC-20). Check out the steps below to get started:

    Each transaction has a transaction ID (also known as a transaction hash). The IDs are alphanumeric characters and look something like this:

    • 0x931d387731bbbc988b312206c74f77d004d6b84

    To find your transaction ID in your Noones wallet:

    1. Log in to your Noones account and head to your wallet.
    2. Click on "ALL OPERATIONS" to see your full transaction history.
    3. Once you find the transaction you’re looking for, copy the transaction ID.

    Once you have the transaction ID:

    1. Head over to Etherscan.io or Tronscan.org
    2. Paste the transaction ID
    3. From there, you can track your transaction. It usually takes 12 confirmations (it can take up to 30 on some platforms) for your transaction to complete, so hang tight!

  • USDT TRON

    Noones does its best to give users the option to save on fees for USDT transactions, that's why TRON (TRC-20) Network was added.

    Transaction fees on the blockchain can get expensive and are sometimes unpredictable. These fees are called Network fees and do not go to Noones. They go to the blockchain networks to make sure your funds are safe.

    Luckily, the fees in the TRC-20 Network are lower than the fees in older blockchains (such as Bitcoin and Ethereum).

    What USDT does Noones support?

    For USDT (Tether USD) we allow two send-out options from your Noones Wallet: Ethereum (ERC-20 USDT) and TRON (TRC-20 USDT).

    What are the fees associated with TRON USDT send-outs?

    Network fees are $0 when you send TRON-based USDT from your Noones Wallet. However, you will have to pay the Noones Wallet fee. Check out this article for more information on our fees.  

    Which network does my wallet/exchange accept? 

    Typically you can see that in the ‘Receive’ or ‘Deposit’ screen within your wallet. Look for either Ethereum (ERC20) USDT or TRON (TRC20) USDT. If you are given a deposit address, you can easily spot the Ethereum address by the ‘0x’ in the beginning, while TRON addresses start with a capital ‘T’.

    Note: Make sure your wallet/exchange supports USDT transfers. Please never withdraw money directly to ICO addresses or services not designed to accept USDT.

    What if I want to send USDT to another Noones user?

    You can still send funds to another Noones Wallet by using a Noones username or wallet address. There is no network fee for internal transfers (please see information about limits here).

    I want to withdraw the funds to my own wallet, what software should I use?

    Your funds are safe in your Noones Wallet, but if you want to keep USDT in your own wallet, you can find the software for your desktop or mobile device here:

    Ethereum Wallets

    TRON Wallets 

    Why won’t my transaction go through?

    Make sure you copied the address correctly. Keep in mind that addresses are case-sensitive. Also, make sure your address is either Ethereum USDT (starts with ‘0x’) or TRON USDT (starts with ‘T’). 

    If you’re still running into issues, feel free to reach out to our support team.

  • Bonus on Giftcard Trades

    Noones is happy to announce that for the whole month of December 2023 you will be able to get an up to 3% bonus when selling an Apple giftcard! Here you will learn about the terms and conditions of the bonus and see if you are eligible.

    Eligible Trades

    In order to get a bonus, you need to buy crypto using one of the following payment methods: Apple Giftcard or Apple Giftcard (US). All trades made in December 2023 (GMT time) are eligible.

    The bonus will not be paid to users, whose accounts are banned, frozen, on hold etc. The bonus is not paid for unsuccessful trades (canceled, dispute lost).

    Bonus Tiers

    The bonus will be paid to users’ Reward balance by January 7th, 2024. The bonus is based on the total crypto volume of the eligible ‘buy crypto’ trades.

    December volume (eligible trades) Bonus rate
    Under $1000 1%
    From $1000, up to $10.000 2%
    $10.000 or more 3%

    Example: a user made 3 ‘buy crypto’ trades in December:

    1. Sell a $100 Apple Giftcard for 95 USDT
    2. Sell a $100 Apple Giftcard (US) for 97 USDT
    3. Sell a $50 Apple Giftcard for 50 USDT

    The maximum bonus amount a single user can receive is capped to an equivalent of $1000 USD.

    Withdrawing Rewards

  • Partner Program Rewards

    Multi level referral network: earn a revenue share when your friends trade

    Once a user signs up using your invite link / invite code, they become your Level 1 Referral. The unique Invite link, invite code and QR code can be found in your Partner Program dashboard. 

    When your Level 1 Referral buys or sells crypto on Noones using any cryptocurrency (BTC, USDC, and/or USDT), you will earn a reward on their trading fees. 

    When your Referral invites friends using their invite link, new users automatically become your Level 2 Referrals.
    Moreover, when your Level 2 Referrals become referrers themselves, all the users signed up with their invite code become your Level 3 Referrals.

    You will earn rewards on your Referral network trading fees. The rewards are paid out for the first twelve (12) months upon Referrals’s sign-up.

    The rewards are calculated the following way:

    • The base rate varies depending on the Referral Level.
      Level 1 Referral base rate - 10%
      Level 2 Referral base rate - 7%
      Level 3 Referral base rate - 3% 
    • You get 10% of the escrow fee for the trade which involved your Level 1 Referral (either buying or selling crypto).
    • You get 7% of the escrow fee for the trade which involved your Level 2 Referral (either buying or selling crypto).
    • You get 3% of the escrow fee for the trade which involved your Level 3 Referral (either buying or selling crypto).
    • If a trade involves two users and both were invited by different Partner Program participants, the reward is shared 50/50, i.e. each participant gets a half.
    • No reward is paid out for canceled (or otherwise uncompleted) trades or your own trades with your referrals

    Your earnings in different cryptocurrencies can be withdrawn from the Partner Program balance to your Noones wallet. After withdrawing you have the option to sell this crypto on the platform or send it out.

    You can withdraw from the Partner Program balance by clicking on the Withdraw button in the Partner Program Dashboard, once you have the equivalent of 5 USD in one of the cryptocurrencies.

    If you do not withdraw a Partner Program reward in 6 months, it will expire on the first day of the next month.

    Example

    On January 15th a Level 2 Referral of yours makes a Gift Card trade for $100 worth of USDT. The escrow fee paid was 5 USDT and your Partner reward was 5 * 7% = 0.35 USDT.

    On February 4th another Level 1 Referral of yours makes a number of Giftcard trades for $1000 worth of USDT. The escrow fee paid was 50 USDT and your Partner reward was 50 * 10% = 5.00 USDT. Now your Partner Program USDT balance is 5.35 USDT and you can withdraw it.

    If you don’t withdraw your reward by August 1st, your January earnings will expire. Your Partner Program USDT balance will be 5.00 USDT. On September 1st your February earnings will expire too and your balance will become zero.

    Recommendations

    By onboarding actively trading partners, you will be generating more rewards. If you own a blog / telegram channel about trading, feel free to invite your partners to try Noones. Do not abuse this though, our Terms and Conditions specifically disallow spam and impersonating Noones employees.

    Become an advocate - help your friends onboard to Noones, explain to them how trading works and how they can profit from that. The sooner your Partners become active traders, the more rewards you will earn. Check the list of your referrals in your Partner Program Dashboard. You can contact your referrals by clicking Start Chat in their profile.

    Use your invite codes wisely:

    • For blogs and social media use the invite link
    • For Telegram groups and other types of communities where links are not allowed, use your invite code (which equals to your Noones username)
    • When chatting with your friends offline, help them to install the Noones app and ask them to scan your QR code
    • When talking to your friends, feel free to share your Noones profile link - this also acts as an invite link!
    • Learn and spread the word about Noones Bitcoin Rewards that is another way to get free sats

    Please note that all invite links and codes contain your username. If you ever happen to change your username, your old links will become invalid!

    To avoid your earnings from expiring, check your Partner Program Dashboard at least once a month and Withdraw your rewards as soon as they are available.

Glossary

Definitions

  • Escrow Fee

    Escrow keeps the money in safekeeping until a transaction is completed. An escrow fee covers the cost of the service being provided.

  • Exchange


    An exchange is a digital marketplace where traders can buy and sell cryptocurrencies using different fiat currencies or altcoins. Cryptocurrency exchange platforms match buyers with sellers. Like a traditional stock exchange, traders can opt to buy and sell cryptocurrency by inputting either a market order or a limit order.

  • Ethereum (ETH)

    ETH or Ethereum is an open software platform based on blockchain technology that enables developers to build and deploy decentralized applications. Like Bitcoin, Ethereum is a distributed public blockchain network. the Ethereum blockchain focuses on running the programming code of any decentralized application. In the Ethereum blockchain, instead of mining for bitcoin, miners work to earn Ether, a type of crypto token that fuels the network.

  • Fiat


    Fiat or fiat money is a currency that a government has declared to be legal tender, but it is not backed by a physical commodity. The value of fiat money is derived from the relationship between supply and demand rather than the value of the material from which the money is made. Fiat money only has value because the government maintains that value, or because two parties agree on said value. Fiat money was first introduced as an alternative to commodity-backed money.

  • Google authenticator (GA)

    Google Authenticator is a mobile application that implements two-step verification services using the time-based one-time password algorithm and HMAC-based one-time password algorithm for authenticating users of mobile applications by Google.

    Authenticator provides a six- to eight-digit one-time password which users must provide in addition to their username and password to log into Google services or other sites. The Authenticator can also generate codes for third-party applications, such as password managers or file hosting services. Previous versions of the software were open-sourced but subsequent releases are proprietary.

  • Hash

    A hash is a mathematical function that generates unique identifiers needed to solve blockchain computations and secure the network.

Technical Issues

Technical Problems and Solutions

  • How to make HAR file for Troubleshooting

    When working with Noones support, we may sometimes ask you to collect a HAR capture, which can be used for troubleshooting.

    HTTP Archive (HAR) is a format used to track information between web browsers and websites.
    HAR files represent recording of browser activity and possibly contain sensitive data, including the content of the pages visited, headers, cookies and other data.

    Generate a HAR file in Chrome

    1. Open Chrome and go to the page to be recorded.

    2. Click the more actions menu (...) to the right of the toolbar and select More tools > Developer tools.

    3. Select the Network tab.

    4. Ensure that Chrome is recording by clicking the gray record button. A red button indicates that a recording is already in progress.

    5. Select Preserve Logs.

    6. Clear any existing logs by clicking Clear (🚫)

    7. Go to the page where the issue occurred and reproduce the issue.

    8. Right-click anywhere in the list of network requests and select Save all as HAR with content.

    9. Save the file.

    Generate a HAR file in Firefox

    1. Open Firefox and go to the page to be recorded.

    2. Click the more menu() and then Web Developer > Network.

    3. In the developer tools docked tab select Network.

    4. Go to the page where the issue occurred and reproduce the issue. The page automatically starts recording as you navigate.

  • Phone Number Verification Issues

    If you're trying to verify your phone number in Noones, but didn't receive the verification code via SMS, there could be an issue with the country's SMS gateway, which is beyond our control. One possible solution is to try another mobile service provider.

  • Bitcoin Send Out is Delayed, Send Out without Transaction ID

    This is what you need to do when you send out cryptocurrency and see a message showing "Bitcoin queued to send out".

    • If the transaction is already listed on the blockchain, this could be a slowdown on the blockchain network
    • If it shows in queue and not showing on the blockchain, this could be a failed send out within Noones—report this to our Support team, so the send out batch can be rebroadcasted manually.
  • Copy/Paste Problem with Wallet Address

    There are times when the wallet address you copied becomes different after pasting it to the text field, and this is because of some malicious software installed on your computer.

    Here's what you should do to prevent this from happening:

    • Check if there's a malicious browser extension or some sort of other malicious software installed on the user's computer that monitors the clipboard for bitcoin addresses and replaces them
    • Carefully scan your browser for extensions and scan your PC with an anti-malware tool
    • Always double-check the wallet address before hitting "SEND" as these transactions are irreversible—read this article for more information
  • Email Notifications Not Received

    If you encounter an error wherein email notifications from Noones are not being received, follow these steps to fix the issue:

    • Go to your Account settings and check Notifications settings
    • Tick for notifications you want to receive

    If you are not getting notifications for trades but you are receiving all other notifications and notification settings are correct:

    • Check the spam folder. Maybe their email provider like Gmail or Microsoft or anything else is blocking emails that contain certain words.
  • "Error Uploading File"

    If you encounter an error when uploading a file in the trade chat, double check if it meets the following requirements:

    • File formats accepted: jpeg, jpg, png, and pdf
    • Maximum of 3 files can be uploaded simultaneously
    • Maximum file size is 300MB

    If the mentioned requirements are met and still getting an error, contact our support team with a screenshot or video recording to assist you better.

API

API

  • How to reconfigure API trading automation to Noones?

    In order to use the same automation software, you need to make a few changes depending on the type of API you are using.

    Typically, an API integration requires the following configuration items:

    • API Keys. Your software communicates with Noones to access your data (e.g. update offers for price management, access to trading chats, etc.)
    • Webhooks (optional). Your software can receive notifications of various events (for example, the start of trading, a new message in a trading chat) and respond to them.

    There are currently 2 types of API keys available.

    In addition to accessing your own data, OAuth2 API keys allow your application to access other users's data and act on their behalf if they grant such access. HMAC and OAuth2 keys use different authentication algorithms, so check with your developer before proceeding with the configuration. 

    Note: Authentication is required to access all API methods. Please make sure you pass authorization headers even for methods like /currency/list or /offer/all which don't require user context.

     

    HMAC API 

    API Access 

    1. Log in to your Noones account, hover over your username on the top right of the page and click Settings from the context menu that appears.

    OAuth2 API Changes

    • wallet/* methods are not available anymore. Please contact us if you have used any of these methods.
  • What is API ?

    Application programming interfaces (APIs) are for developers or businesses that want to create applications to connect with Noones. For more information, click here.

  • Setting Up Webhooks
    Webhooks allow you to receive real-time HTTPS notifications of events on the Noones marketplace. For example, we could send you a notification when a new trade starts or whenever your trade partner sends a message in a trade chat. This prevents you from having to query the API for changes to objects that may or may not have happened and helps you avoid reaching your rate limit. This guide will describe how exactly you can set up Webhooks with Noones.

    We support Webhooks for the following events:

    • New incoming trade on Noones
    • Message received in trade chat
    • Attachment received in trade chat
    • Someone has viewed your Noones profile
    • Someone has viewed your offer
    • Trade partner has paid for their crypto
    • Trade was cancelled or has expired
    • Crypto sold successfully
    • Crypto purchased
    • Crypto deposit confirmed
    • Incoming crypto deposit is pending
    • Feedback received from a trade partner
    • New feedback reply received

    Setting up Webhooks

    Note: Make sure your service is ready for receiving Webhooks. During the URL saving process, your service should take the "X-Noones-Request-Challenge" request header and put it into the response as-is.

    Here is how our request header should appear in your payload (this is a Webhooks service example in Node.js):

    1. Log in to your Noones account, hover over your username on the top right of the page and click Settings from the context menu that appears.

    The Settings page appears.

    2. On the menu on the left side of the page, click Developer.

    The Developer page appears.

    3. In case you don’t have an API key, insert the two-factor code in the field below and click Add new API key. If you already have an API key, you can skip this step. 

    Your new API key appears on the Developer page alongside with additional sections.

    4. Copy the URL from your app.
    Go to the Webhooks section on the Noones Developer page. Paste the link into the Request URL field and click Save.

    Warning: Our Webhooks are supported by HTTPS address types only. HTTP addresses will not work for this purpose.


    A request header is sent to your app.

    Note: We have a timeout of 10 seconds. In case if we do not receive a response from your app, the URL will not be saved, and a Webhook will not be created.

    5. In case of success, a list of events available for subscription appears below. Tick a box to select an event from the Subscribe to events list.

    Note:

    • Once selected, events are saved automatically.
    • In the case of three failed attempts to send event information to your app, Webhook (URL) becomes disabled. Timeout for calling a Webhook is 3 seconds.
    • To insert a new link, replace the current URL with the new one and click Change
    • To deactivate your Webhooks completely, click Delete.
    • To reactivate a disabled URL, click Retry.

    In case if request URL is saved successfully, this is how our events will appear in your app:

    Verifying requests from Noones

    Noones creates a unique string for your app and shares it with you. Verify requests from Noones with confidence by verifying signatures using your signing secret.

    On each HTTPS request sent, we add an "X-Noones-Signature" HTTPS header. The signature is created by combining the signing secret with the body of the request we're sending using a standard HMAC-SHA256 keyed hash.

    Note: The resulting signature is unique to each request and doesn't directly contain any secret information. That keeps your app secure, preventing bad actors from causing mischief.

    Example in JavaScript

    const crypto = require('crypto');
    const express = require('express');
    const app = express();
    const port = 3000;
    const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

    Your API secret from the https://noones.com/p2p/account/developer page:

    const apiSecret = 'maE5KV16FV0nDyh7XPm2F8f8FZTdtb5p';
    
    app.use(bodyParser.json());

    When you receive a service address verification request, you should take the "X-Noones-Request-Challenge" header from the request then put it into the response.

    app.use((req, res, next) => {
    

    The address verification request doesn't contain the payload and request signature.

      if (!Object.keys(req.body).length && !req.get('X-Noones-Signature')) {
            console.log('Address verification request received.');
            const challengeHeader = 'X-Noones-Request-Challenge';
            res.set(challengeHeader, req.get(challengeHeader));
            res.end();
        } else {
            next();
        }
    });

    When you receive event notification, you should verify the "X-Noones-Signature" header. In case the request contains the wrong signature, do not process it.

      app.use((req, res, next) => {
        const providedSignature = req.get('X-Noones-Signature');
        const calculatedSignature = crypto.createHmac('sha256', apiSecret).update(JSON.stringify(req.body)).digest('hex');
        if (providedSignature !== calculatedSignature) {
            console.log('Request signature verification failed.');
            res.status(403).end();
        } else {
            next();
        }
    });

    Now you can process an event.

      app.post('*', async (req, res) => {
        console.log('New event received:');
        console.log(req.body);
        res.end();
    });
    
    app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${port}`));

    As a reminder, Noones is not obligated to initiate or handle chargebacks and is not liable if a party reverses, charges back, or otherwise disputes a transaction via an avenue made available to the party through the payment method used in the transaction, including after a dispute is closed.

    If this does happen, here is what you can do:

    Note:

    • You can report a chargeback only for the following payment methods: Amazon Gift Card, Bank Transfer, MTN Mobile Money, PayPal, Zelle Pay.
    • You can report a chargeback only after a trade has been completed (cryptocurrency has been released from the trade escrow).
    • After receiving your report, we’ll do our best to solve the case. However, we don’t guarantee your funds at 100%.
    • Make sure you’ve investigated the issue with your bank or wallet service provider before submitting a report with us.
    • If you’ve already submitted a report, please give us some time to get back to you with our response. Thank you for your patience!

    1. Open the trade in the list of your past trades: Dashboard > View past trades

    2. On the bottom of the trade page, click Report a chargeback.

    3. On the Report a chargeback dialogue box, do the following:

    • Choose one of the reasons for your report;
    • Write any additional information into the Additional information field (sender’s name, email, and so on);
    • Click Upload to upload a screenshot of any chargeback related messages and one screenshot of your wallet balance;
    • Click Report chargeback to submit your request.

    4. In the confirmation dialogue box, click Okay.

    You now have submitted a chargeback report and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

    Tip: You can check the status of your report on the bottom of your trade page at any time. There are three chargeback report statuses:

    • Pending
    • Confirmed
    • Dismissed

    You can also report a chargeback through the Contact Form

    To get started, we’ll need a video recording of:

    • The transaction indicating the date and amount received
    • The transaction indicating the date and payment reversal

    We’ll also need the trade ID where this happened.
