Excelent

I haven't had troubles trading cryptos, very easy and fast, low fees, the only trouble would be in my country there's not a lot of offer like there could be in others, I hope introducing more crypto currencies rises the traders number.

LOCALCRYPTOS IS BULLY

This company is good on outlook but rotten deep inside. They are bully somehow coz they suspend your account with no reason. When you make contact with their support team , no response at all. Support team is poor and btc trade are too slow. You have to wait for almost 30 mins for you to make a successful Bitcoin trade. Escrow of btc take 15 - 20 mins. I preffer localbitcoin than "localcrypto" .

Thank you for taking the time to leave the review. I'm sorry we left you dissatisfied.

Sometimes, our team will make the decision to ask a user to stop trading on LocalCryptos. We do this to protect other users from fraud. Most often, your suspension will come after you are reported by other users. We don't always get it right, but when we do, we protect our users from fraud.

The time for a Bitcoin escrow is dependent on the Bitcoin blockchain, which we can't control. There must be at least one block confirmation for your transaction to be safe — and up to 6 block confirmations for large transactions.

No different with PayPal

Hello, my experience with localcrypto was good till one morning when I woke up and find my account suspended with no reason at all. I made several contact to their support team but in vein. Till now, they are not responding to message and no action taken.
These guys are nice if you new clients but once a competitor report you on one reason or another. They don't listen your view. Betta localbitcoin coz they tell you the reason for account suspension and give you a chance.

Localcrypto is not different with PayPal. They suspended account and deleted reputation with no reason at all.

Easy site for beginners.

I was trying to get crypto to put on gambling websites as G2A is known for IP Banning, I couldn't find a site without having to prove documents and that is simple, I came on here and it's so simple and the guy I bought from walked me through the steps, I have bought twice now no problem and now I can get ETH in 2 mins whenever I want, highly suggest this site for new people who have no clue about crypto I didn't know anything about it but it's simple to trade.

Be careful!!!

Be careful!!!
I lost more than 500€ on this site, i sent the money to my address wallet (yes, i am 1000% sure i sent it to the correct one, i always triple check when i copy and paste a BTC address), the money never arrived. The support answered me that its possible that the money is in my wallet but i cannot see it because of technically problems and they will fix this.

Its more than 1 week ago now, and they stop answer me since 5 days. I was never spamming them, only ask one time per day friendly if they please have any update for me. But no answers anymore.

To, be careful with this site. I worked with this site in the past without any problems but now i lost more than 500€ and the support not even answer me back.

EDIT: Support Ticket Number: 9773

Thanks for leaving a review.

Could you let me know your support ticket number, or get in touch with us via the contact form on our website? I would love to look into this for you and get this resolved. As a non-custodial platform, it's impossible for BTC to go missing; I'm sure we can find it for you.
