I have been a member of localcryptos from that time it was called localethereum. I can say localcryptos is one of the most simple and easy sites to use. Their services are fast and efficient. I will recommend localcryptos to others.

This site has lots of potential but…

This site has lots of potential but unfortunately, sellers and newbies mess this site up. As a buyer, I want fast transaction. However, sellers on this site usually never replies back to you or takes them long long time to reply back. I have more canceled transactions due to sellers never responding back to me. When you complain about this in the group chat where admin can see, they say sellers have their personal life so if they are busy, they will not be able to respond right away. But how come paxful and localbitcoin never really have issue with this?? If you need quick transactions, stay far away from localcryptos.

Completely in love :)

I will start by saying that this awesome Crypto-Trading platform was an interesting find when I was looking to get my BTC transferred to my bank in my local currency.

The support team is attentive and the website never fails, it's easy to use and highly recommendable.

As a personal note, I have no words to thank the CEO of the platform for all the help he's given me everytime I am lost into crypto-translation on his website!

He's my hero and LocalCryptos my favorite crypto e-wallet service ever! Kudos!! and many stars! :-)

Fab, as quick as it can be, easy, will use again

Fab. Just one mark down: First attempt was rebuffed, after waiting 10 minutes for a reply, that the seller wouldn't trade with a first timer. The seller I picked had many trades. Advised I look for someone who would deal with a 1st timer. There seems to be no notice that the seller would or wouldn't, so I just tried with the next seller, one with far fewer trades, and my first question was, "will you with a 1st timer?" Asked for my bank sort code... Waited 3/4 minutes... Yup, no problem, they replied.

From there, everything went sweet. Sent me his name, sort, account number. Put the Eth into an escrow, now it is my turn. Using a UK biz account I needed to know if seller's was a personal or biz account... Awaited reply. Sent the money. And told the LocalCrypto interface by hitting a button... And in the chat to the seller.

Seller took a few minutes, I guess to check his account. Then, replied, "thanks for fast trade." And the web interface moved on to "escrow released by buyer." There was a progress bar, while the ETH network congestion did its thing... Probably another 4/5 minutes, watching the progress bar, and then, my Metamask jumped into view and the ETH was in there.

All in all, very, very pleased with the service. Just that 1st timer rejection and no way to see who will, who won't. Now that I'm an experienced user... For certain, I'll be back : -)

Amazing platform

Easy to use , with many buyers and sellers, a variety of payments and very secure!
I would like to see more cryptos though, especially from the Binance Smart Chain Network.
