Binance P2P Ads: The Best Deal is in Your Hands
Binance P2P is a leading peer-to-peer platform that allows you to buy, sell and trade crypto directly with other users. Users can browse and set their own trading terms in the form of an ad. Setting up an ad on Binance P2P is fast, simple and flexible, giving you more control over who you trade with and how you buy and sell crypto. Bear in mind, ads that aren't set up correctly will lead to subpar results or even zero trades.

How do I create an ad on Binance P2P?
Let's get your first ad posted! Select the P2P trading page on the Binance App homepage, switch to the Advertising Mode, and press the + button on the top right corner. Now follow the 3 simple steps below to set up your ad:
First, choose "Buy" or "Sell" ad type, then select the crypto asset and the fiat currency before choosing "Floating" or "Fixed" pricing.
Fixed price includes the price of BTC and the profit you want to earn. If the price of BTC is $50,000 and you would like to earn 5% profit ($2,500), you would set up a fixed price of $52,500.
On the other hand, the floating price will fluctuate with the market price, with pricing that refreshes every minute. For example, if the price of BTC is at $50,000 and you want to pay the market price, you can set up a floating price margin of 100% (pricing formula: 50,000 x 100% = $50,000). However, if you want to buy the asset at a lower price you can set up an ad with a floating price margin of 99.97% (pricing formula: 50,000 x 99.97% = $49,985)
Next, enter the total trading amount, order limit and add a maximum of three payment methods. Then, set the payment time limit for buyers to complete the payment before the order gets canceled.
The total trading amount is how much you are willing to trade from your portfolio.
The order limit refers to the minimum and maximum amount you require for each trade.
Binance P2P supports more than 300 payment methods, so you're likely to find one that corresponds with your needs.
Let’s use Carlos as an example. Say he wants to sell 5,000 USDT. This figure will be his total trading amount. Now, for the limits, he can set up a minimum limit of $50 and a maximum of $1,000, meaning that users can buy $70 worth of USDT from Carlos, but not $20 (because it’s below Carlos’ minimum limit).
Tip: if you don't want to compete on price, you can compete on the amount you offer. For example, if all USDT/USD trades are currently at $0.99 and you don't want to lower your ad price to $0.93, you can play with the minimum and maximum amount for a more competitive offer. For example, if most users posted a minimum of $50 and a maximum of $1,000, you can set an even lower minimum amount of $20 and a maximum amount of $1,500.
This last step is optional but can help make your ad more user-friendly.
Provide relevant information about what to expect in the "terms" section.
You can include additional instructions in an "auto-reply message" that will be sent to the counterparty after they complete the trade.-
Filter who you want to trade with by setting the counterparty conditions. Don't make your counterparty conditions too strict otherwise; your ad won't reach enough people.

1. Learn the art of arbitrage
Arbitrage is the simple act of buying crypto at a lower price and then selling at a higher price elsewhere. Many traders use this method because it's easy to learn and very effective. There are two areas on Binance P2P where you can find arbitrage opportunities:
Binance Spot: Find a price discrepancy between the Binance Spot market and the P2P market, then sell on whichever market has the higher price. Read this FAQ guide if you've never traded on the Binance Spot market.-
Global Marketplace: Crypto may sell for a much higher price in different regions, which means you can find profitable price spreads on crypto across different locations.
2. Trade price differences in fiat currencies.
In addition to trading crypto, users can also profit through price spreads on our P2P fiat market, which supports more than 70 different fiat currencies. This type of strategy involves finding price discrepancies in the different fiat trading pairs and then exploiting them by buying low and selling high.
3. Take Advantage of High-Demand payment methods.
With more than 300 different payment methods, Binance P2P offers many ways for you to exchange your crypto for your preferred local currency, or vice-ver. You’ll find that many users often pay a premium for select payment methods that may be less common. Use this to your advantage and buy from an ad selling crypto at a competitive price, then create an ad and sell the same crypto through a less accessible payment method for a higher price.
4. HODL your assets and sell with zero fees
For our long-term users who aren’t a fan of trading, you can always HODL and then sell with zero fees through P2P. Once your asset has risen and you're ready to sell, visit Binance P2P and post an ad with your preferred payment method, currency and price.
