I used to trade a lot on Localbitcoins and was always my go to place to sell BTC(as the premiums were fairly high). They've shut shop for a while now. Any other platforms that have a decent Indian userbase for p2p transactions? I was using paxful for a while, it's okay. Didn't like the experience much.
Since we are talking about Indian Userbases, why are we not talking about the userbase on this forum, however small it might be?

We are more than 10 active users on this section of the forum at present and the "Marketplace (India)" section is being spammed by fake keys sellers and scammers, why not make it active with Have BTC Want INR threads?
It might not yield a positive trade right away but its worth a start?
That is a very good idea but to ensure that we remain anonymous I think we better use the Marketplace for only buying an selling crypto especially USDT. The rate of USDT for both buying and selling can be taken from the Binance exchange. For converting USDT to INR the users can use local exchanges. In that way we prevent P2P scams and don't fall under the cryptocurrency tax bracket.
