One of the fairly few last P2P websites…

One of the fairly few last P2P websites remaining. The wallet is non-custodial, so it means that the user is in charge of keeping the wallet safe. There are a fair number of scammers on this, but they do keep it clear as much as possible. So, just stick with the highly reviewed and decent volume traders and you should be fine. They have been operational and no issues for the entire past 4 years.

Localcoinswap is NOT a scam..

My experience was great. I had a great time with Localcoinswap, the rates here are EXCELLENT. I have never encountered any issues buying or selling crypto. One of the admins named Kat is very responsive and amazing kudos to her!

Customer service person called Favs has been very helpful and kind.
My experience with the website buying bitcoins has so far been good. They have an escrow service and the process is guided and easy. Plenty of traders who take a variety of forms of payment. The trader I dealt with was very honest.

Great for non custodial escrow offerings.

Wish LCS had been around or known to me a little earlier before I stepped away as much from Crypto. Would've used it a lot more.

As a pretty active vendor I've still experienced most features of the site and it is as much as you could want from a NC escrow.

Rugpull.

Was informed my account didn't exist, figured it was something to do sith my Gmail being hacked around the same time - made a new account, transferred approx $2k AUD in for sale, went to save the wallet keys and I was logged out, unable to log in again.

Export your keys immediately. These cucks will tell you they don't have access to the keys, but it's not encrypted data. Thieves.

Made another email at another email provider: LCS will not let me register because they said I can't have a dot in my email before the @ ????
Made another email, they send me 3 links to be able to login to "my" email, extreme spam

Extremely difficult to sign up and to login
Absolute grossness, most frictionful site, it is astonishing the level of pathetism that is attainable
