PAxful

They'll accuse me of giving them negative publicity soon.
But everything I say about them is accurate, and in order for them to reimburse me, I had to file a case against them. I contacted T.R.E.B.L.E.S.L.T.D. (I need to write something like that or SiteJabber will remove my review) about everything I invested in Bitcoin. It seems like they don't want people to get some help.
I had to go through a process with them, but in the end, I got help, and even though I'm furious with Paxful, I'm more upset with myself for first giving them anything.

Paxful froze my account in 2021 without any valid reason, locking my funds. After countless support requests, all I got were copy-paste replies like "Your account is under review."

In 2023, they banned my account entirely. I thought this meant they would finally release my funds—but NO. Now my account is banned AND frozen at the same time! When I try to withdraw, it says "You've already sent out your balance"—but my funds are still locked!

🚨 Avoid Paxful at all costs! They have been holding my money hostage for over three years with no real answers. Do NOT trust them!

I strongly advise against engaging with Paxful, as my experience indicates they may be operating in a scam-like manner. Proceed with caution, as involvement with them could result in significant financial losses and other negative consequences. I was faced with a choice: continue investing or close my account. I opted to terminate my account, only to be hit with various fees upon closure. In addition to the initial closing charge, I incurred government stamp duty, exchange rate fees, trading expenses, and more. Ultimately, a considerable sum was taken from me, but I was fortunate to recover it after weeks of back-and-forth communication with Paxful. I filed a complaint with norkersecurity.org, which proved helpful. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I encourage you to reach out for assistance.

I had been using Paxful for many years without any issues until recently. Without any warning or explanation, they froze my account with over $10,000 in it. I've reached out to their support team multiple times, but they haven't provided any satisfactory response. It's incredibly frustrating to have my funds locked up like this, especially after being a loyal user for so long. Beware of using Paxful, as they may freeze your account without warning and leave you in the dark about your funds

THEY DO NOT HAVE BEP20 BSC AND THEY CHARGE AN UNEXPLAINED $5 fee for withdrawing money through TRX.
They also have terrible support, I asked in 3 emails why they holding my funds, they just say "terms of service"

THEY WILL SOON ACCUSE ME OF GIVING THEM BAD PUBLICITY.
HOWEVER, EVERYTHING I SAY ABOUT THEM IS TRUE, I HAD TO OPEN A CASE AGAINST THEM JUST FOR THEM TO REFUND ME EVERYTHING I INVESTED IN BITCOIN, I CONTACTED A PRIVATE ORGANIZATION CALLED O.C.T.I.P.O.L.T ( I NEED TO WRITE TO OUT LIKE THAT OR SITEJABBER REMOVES MY REVIEW) IT IS ALMOST AS IF THEY DONT WANT PEOPLE TO GET SOME HELP.
I HAD TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS WITH THEM BUT EVENTUALLY, I GOT ASSISTED AND ALTHOUGH I AM VERY ANGRY AT PAXFUL I AM MORE UPSET AT MYSELF FOR EVEN GIVING THEM ANYTHING AT FIRST

Paxful has frozen my account for 3 years now and every time i contact them they tell me that we are reviewing your account, 3 years now, take care of them!

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to bring a pressing matter to your attention related to my experience with Paxful's customer service.
I recently sought assistance from the user pxadrian in ticket #******* on Discord. However, after only five minutes of assistance, my account was blocked without any prior warning or review. Subsequently, I engaged in a discussion with pxadrian, leading to a 24-hour block on Discord.
To complicate matters further, I observed that my new Discord account, which I was using for communication, was also blocked, and my messages were deleted. I kindly request a thorough investigation into both the account ban and message deletion.
I want to emphasize that I have not violated Paxful's terms. I consistently set prices based on risk, supply, and demand. The only instance of changing the price occurred when I closed the platform and went to sleep to prevent competitors from knowing my rates.
Additionally, I would like to bring to your attention another case where a British user requested a price change. When refused, the user left a negative review without apparent reason, and support sided with them.
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and kindly request your assistance in resolving the issue. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

BE CAREFUL with tempting good rates!

I wanted to buy BTC with Paypal and took the next best seller.
But after my transaction, strangely enough, not enough money arrived (despite included fees). And after a long discussion with the seller, he was supposed to transfer the money back to me, which didn't work out.

Be therefore careful with sellers who only have a few good ratings and come from non-EU countries. Avoid paypal friend transfers with extra fees, this seems to be a reason for scammers to avoid sending money back. In this case: NEVER withdraw the money from the escrow fund. There are scammers!

So if you want to make safe transactions and don't waste yout time and money - better avoid Paxful!

Was trying to buy crypto from one of their sellers, used PayPal to pay, sent the money then they left, informed Paxful on the issue this is their response, can complain to Paypal as it was asked to be classified as a payment to friend.
Hi Fasteddy1995,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We understand you wanted to be informed about the status of your reported trade with the trade ID tdkm8Xasfak, and we're here to clarify this for you.
To ensure the safety and integrity of our platform, we've banned the reported user. This user immediately withdrew their funds from Paxful, so we are unable to award the cryptocurrency to you. I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, and I can imagine how frustrating this must be for you.
Another option for reimbursement is to contact the financial institution through which you made the payment and request a refund. There is no guarantee that you will receive your funds, but the financial institution may have policies in place to deal with situations like this.

Don't buy from this website, verified sellers are verified scammers
Don't bother reporting the scammers because the website take profit out of every scam

I have released the btc to the guy llns but he refuse to give me the $10 gift card because he didn't have and ask me to open another trade for $50.

He said that escrow still hold the btc. So please refund me the btc.

And the guy llns should be punished. There are so many scammer on the platform use the same way to cheat.

Paxful should do something to punish them.

Thanks

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! IT WAS THE WORST NIGHT THAT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! THE MODERATOR WORKS FOR THEM SO THERE IS NO WAY YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEY BACK! THEIR TRADE IS ALL A SETUP! I SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS TALKING TO AMAZON AND I WILL NOT STOP POSTING NEGATIVE REVIEWS TO THESE SCAMMERS!

"Trade Dispute Won by Tancong999" Tancong999 also know as Công Tuan N. Is from Vietnam! I scraped as much information from this company and all their email address' which i will be submitting and sharing all over the internet! I will be posting everyday nonstop to warn and avoid others from being scammed! Shame on this website! Shame on this organization! Unethical trade practice!

"Patricia Deleon, Ray, lacasadelbitcoin, bugbounty, nina, rubens"

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!

I deposited my BTC into my Paxful wallet without being required to complete ID verification, and so I have not engaged in any trading or transactions on the platform. I requested to withdraw my deposited BTC and send it back to myself. Paxful Support has told me that I must complete ID verification before I can withdraw or send my crypto. They told me to read the ToS, which I did, and I mentioned the inconsistency in their policy, as ID verification was not required for depositing my BTC, but is mandatory for withdrawals. Paxful Support has stated that using their digital wallet service, which includes STORING, sending, and receiving digital currency, is subject to their Terms of Service and ID verification requirements. I have tried multiple attempts to seek clarification and request reconsideration, Paxful Support has maintained their position and closed the ticket (without my consent or request), stating that completing ID verification is the only option available for me to withdraw my BTC.

Thankfully, I have only lost $27 worth of crypto over this ordeal.

Lance, you are the worst customer support I have ever talked to.

I bought usdt worth of 250GBP from a…
I bought usdt worth of 250GBP from a seller named CivilThrush128 from Kenya. Phone numbers *******756 and *******441.
USER: CivilThrush128
USER: Rose Orina,10 February 2023·Money sent,- $119.21 USD, Paid with MasterCard and second payment to David Momanyi $176.93 USD. It was when the guy started sending different email addresses to me I discover that he was a scam. I informed Paxtrust immediately. They later replied that the seller has withdrew all his money from the platform. They said there is nothing they could do as he already gone with my money without the delivery of my usdt. All efforts to get the guy on calls/watsapp proved abortive. Paxful is an accomplish acting as financial intermediary. They only interested in commissions. Paxful is irresponsible and heartless scammer establish to perpetuate fraud. I score them less than zero

Date of experience: 10 February 2023

SCAM MODERATORS!
I started the trade with this guy "paxful*.*com*/*user/Ahmed8818", I was selling 550$ worth of gift cards to him, I sent him the cards and Marked the trade Paid so while I was waiting for him to release the Coins I noticed he took a lot of time to do so, then when I got suspicious, he took the cards Redeemed them and logged into another account and tried to redeem them again and he took screenshots saying that the cards are already redeemed he opened a dispute and uploaded only some screenshots saying "card is already redeemed", then I provided the receipts of each and every card I bought I myself checked their balance before selling em to him and yet the Braindead MODS gave the dispute to him because he has a lot of feedbacks!

DON'T TRUST PAXFUL. They say they don't tolerate rippers and scammers. Yet look at all the reviews on here that are ALL SAYING THE SAME THING. Paxful lets people get ripped off! Twice now I have been stolen from. The first time was for $100 gift card. That one hurt. I won the next few times that rippers tried to steal my cards. I thought Paxful had redeemed themselves. Nope, they got tired of faking that they actually care. Because they have once again handed over my money to a ripper. BEWARE: if trading gift cards for bitcoin, scammers will redeem your pin and/or code by a different device, then try to redeem it again with video evidence, showing it was already redeemed. You would think, though, that if you could provide evidence from the gift card company that the pin wasn't redeemed until AFTER you gave it to the seller, that the moderators at Paxful would realize what the scammers are doing and not let them steal from you. But you would be WRONG if you thought the moderators at Paxful were that logical. They aren't. They don't have your back. They will let people steal from you, even when the evidence and all the requested information is presented to them. Even when you've followed all the rules from day one. Even when you are obviously not a scammer and the other person obviously is, with other negative reviews saying the same thing about them. And then they'll say "unfortunately you lost the dispute" even though you were the one to report the trade as a ripper in the first place! And after reading this review, they'll have the gall to blame it on you, saying "we know it is hard to lose a dispute….maybe you didn't follow all the rules, or provide sufficient enough evidence". Well I did. And I did. And they still let them take my money. And yeah. It is hard. It's hard to basically be called a thief and a liar when you're an honest person. It's hard to be told that a ripper gets to keep your money. I didn't just "lose a dispute" Paxful. I lost my money for nothing, and basically judged by your ignorant moderator, to be a scammer, when the actual scammer gets awarded my gift card and the bitcoin. It's degrading. It's insulting. Thanks for the HUGE SLAP IN THE FACE PAXFUL. And then they will say they are sorry you are closing your account, and are you sure? You're not sorry, Paxful. The only thing you're sorry about is that you'll have one less person to let the scammers rip off. If you keep treating honest people like this, one day all that's going to be left is a bunch of scammers trying to rip each other off. At least your crappy moderators will have great job security. And yes. I am absolutely sure. DON'T TRUST PAXFUL.

The worst BTC trader ever! I`m from the Netherlands and my verification of energy bill and my bank account is denied. Ok can happen, but no help offered from paxful. No response to my email and also lost 100 euros with a wrong trader scam site don`t buy or trade BTC here please

Greetings. Registered on Paxful to trade USDT. Couldn't find my address on my document for a week and denied verification. After 2 letters directly to support, they checked again and found the address (at the beginning of the document. Starts with the word "Address"). Shame

Found a buyer for my USDT asset and made a deal. Buyer sent me a transfer, but not to the payment system specified in his ofer. The buyer received negative feedback from me for this.

After negative feedback he was instantly blocked by Paxful and all assets on his account. Buyer revoke payment in the bank.

As a result, I lose ALL my deposit (it is frozen on the blocked account). The amount is not small for me.

I am writing to support with a request to either give me my USDT from the locked account or unfreeze it (I am already communicating with the buyer in WhatsApp directly). To which I get a reply: we can't unblock the account due to our policy.

Conclusion: the policy is as follows - be a middleman, take your percentage, do NOTHING for your users and cheat and take their assets for yourself.

Thank you and that's it. By no means recommend this service. Support is just like robots and will never get into your position (by the way I communicated with their support for 3 days and explained my situation for a long time).

BONUS: The last words from the correspondence with the support - "And since we have already provided you with the appropriate response while considering all the information about your inquiry, we will now consider this ticket closed and will no longer respond to inquiries regarding the same subject".
