OKX P2P is a peer-to-peer marketplace that supports over 100 local currencies and 700 payment methods, where people can trade crypto directly on their own terms. Sellers can set their own prices, while buyers can choose who they want to trade with.
While peer-to-peer trading offers more flexibility, transactions don’t always go smoothly. Thankfully, you can use the block function to control who you want to trade with. If you’ve had an unpleasant experience trading with someone, you can block that particular user. Here are the available block functions:
