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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

When you find the offer that suits you, be sure to read the offer terms before starting the trade. This will show you a brief summary of what the buyer requires from you regarding the payment.  In the case of Cash In Person, the offer terms should provide a brief list of meeting preferences.

Note that in the case of Cash By Mail, the trade may require a lot of patience from both sides.

With other cash payment methods, the payment process itself is usually quite simple. In any case, always make sure you have provided correct details to the buyer and collected all possible proof of receiving or not receiving the payment. 

The last step for you is to release cryptocurrency from the trade escrow. Click the Release button only if you are absolutely sure about receiving the payment.

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
3. Send the screenshots of the documents to our support team through our automated website helper. You can check this article, How to Contact Support.

Silent Pool is a marketplace to buy or sell altcoins peer to peer. The trades are not exposed publicly, which allows you to put big orders without moving the price of the altcoins.

The trades are protected by Noones escrow, same as all other P2P marketplace trades.

Using Silent Pool is easy if you are familiar with how Noones P2P trades work. Please refer to the two examples below for details.

I want to sell altcoins

First of all, go to Silent Pool and select the altcoin you want to trade. If it’s not supported yet, feel free to suggest it.

Continue to the search form and make sure you selected the right altcoin to sell. You can also select one of the cryptocurrencies in your Noones wallet that you want to get.

Couldn’t find a good offer? Want to sell for your price? Create an offer by clicking Create an offer. See the instructions below.

Once you find an offer, click Buy to start the trade. You will see how much altcoins you are supposed to transfer. Your trade partner will provide an address to transfer the altcoins to. Be careful: only use the addresses provided via the Noones trade chat, otherwise we will not be able to protect you in case of a dispute.

Once the altcoins are transferred and confirmed on the blockchain, click the PAID button and wait for the other party to release the crypto to your Noones wallet.

Things didn’t go as planned? You can start a dispute and let our moderators resolve the problem. Make sure you followed the vendor’s terms and presented the transaction id of the altcoin transfer to the moderator.

I want to buy altcoins

Open the Silent Pool search form and select the crypto currency you have in your Noones wallet. No crypto yet? Deposit it in your Noones wallet or trade in Noones Marketplace.

Next, choose an altcoin to buy. Couldn’t find your altcoins in the list? Feel free to suggest it.

Once you find an offer, click Sell to start the trade. Enter the amount in Bitcoins to sell. This amount will be locked in Noones escrow for the whole trade.

Next thing you need to do is to provide the address to transfer the altcoins to your trade partner. If your payment requires special instructions, like the blockchain to use, you are obliged to make them clear to your trade partner. You can do this in the trade chat. Be careful: never share any details outside of the Noones trade chat, otherwise we will not be able to protect you in case of a dispute.

Your trade partner will transfer the altcoins and let you know. Please confirm the transfer on the blockchain or in the external wallet you are using for your altcoins. Once confirmed, please click the button to Release Bitcoin. Congratulations, your trade is done!

Things didn’t go as planned? You can start a dispute and let our moderators resolve the problem. Make sure you provided the correct deposit address in the trade chat prior to starting the dispute.

I want to create an offer

1. Go to Create an Offer
2. Chфoose the crypto currency in your Noones wallet you want to use: BTC, USDT or USDC.
3. Choose whether you want to buy the selected crypto (and sell altcoins) or the other way.
4. From the list below select the altcoin you would like to buy or sell.
   
5. To set the price, enter the desired margin (in %). Your offer price will be updated automatically every 10 minutes to the market price of the altcoin + the margin % you have chosen.
6. Set the minimum and maximum trade amount. For example, if you have $1000 worth of Litecoin, you may want to set $100 for the minimum and $1000 for the maximum.
7. Click next to proceed to the last step: enter the Offer Label (it will be displayed in the offer search) and Offer Terms. Make sure to clarify how you want altcoins transferred: which blockchain, wallet or platform you prefer to use.
   
8. Finally, click Create Offer button to complete the process. You can check the status of your offer in My Offers. Hint: if you are going offline for a long period of time, it’s a good idea to temporarily deactivate your offer.
9. Once somebody accepts your offer, you will get a notification. You can manage your notifications in Settings.

Security deposits are a common practice often used to ensure the integrity of transactions and to  facilitate a secure marketplace. In NoOnes, security deposits can be as low as 0.005 BTC or 315 USDT. 

Making a security deposit

2. At the top of My Offers list you will find Security deposit. Click Deposit.

3. Read the message carefully and click Deposit to confirm the transaction. A notification will then appear confirming that your crypto was deposited from your wallet to NoOnes secure escrow.

Withdrawing security deposit

1. Login to your NoOnes account. Go to My Offers.

2. Above the My Offers list on the Security deposit dashboard, click Withdraw.

3. Read the message carefully and click Withdraw to confirm the transaction. A notification will then appear confirming that your crypto was withdrawn from NoOnes secure escrow to your wallet.

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

The trade chat will be disabled in Bank Transfer offers you create or edit. We’ll automatically share the buyer and seller’s account details with each other instead. 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. 

Here’s how our automated Bank Transfers work:

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. 

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

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

If you’re not sure how to file a dispute, take a look at this article for a step-by-step guide.

The more information you provide during the dispute process, the easier our team will be able to process your dispute. We’ve put together a collection of best practices to help our team accurately process your disputes.

When uploading evidence:

• Make sure the image is not cut off or cropped
• Make sure the image is clear
• Do not alter or change the image

What information should I provide?

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.

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

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)

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.

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.

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
