Paxful still works fine for me. I've never submitted KYC on Paxful or LBC (which I've never been fond of in the first place) and things still work fine for me at the moment. Fees really aren't that bad IMO, though I don't make a large amount of trades on Paxful and I still purchase most of my coins from exchanges that I have done KYC on. AFAIK cash trading still exists on Paxful, but I've never tried using it on the site before.

Newer members around here will likely need to go first for any P2P transactions on here involving fiat (always try trading with someone reputable on this forum), but I've never had any issues trading with anybody on this forum to date. Most folks don't require KYC in those parts, though naturally check before transacting.
