Hi Guys,
My first coins I bought at localethereum.com.
The better offers there have a spread of around 3% to the price at coinmarketcap, plus the 0.75% fee that the platform charges for buyers.
But are there places with better rates and also without kyc?
Also the escrow system on that platform is really nice.
I have been using localbitcoins.com to buy bitcoins from fiat but never heard of localethereum.com. Do they offer same level of escrow as localbitcoins ?
For localbitcoins, you have to verify your identity to be able to put buying selling offers.
I'm pretty sure that there are different levels of "verification" that you need to complete in order to deal with others. For buying I think it depends on the buyer as they set the level of verification needed to deal). If you aren't dealing with potentially fraudulent payment methods, then you should be able to find someone. Paxful is another option which has more flexibility and little to no KYC (they have the same escrow system). I don't know why Paxful isn't mentioned as I find it a lot better than localbitcoins: no KYC, better rates, better selection. I use these sites pretty often, so let me know if you have any other questions.
