On OTCBTC, there are two ways to buy cryptocurrencies. You can either use the search system or post a buying offer. This article will guide you through the two different methods.
First method: Use the search to find offers and place an order. (e.g. Buying ETH)
Step 1: Create an account on OTCBTC and complete your Email Verification, then click “Buy ETH”.
Step 2: Choose a seller and click “Buy Now”.
Check the price and the amount you want to buy. If you agree to the trade content, check the small box and then the “Buy Now”.
If you want to buy a large amount, you can click “One-Click Order” button to buy all the cryptocurrencies left in the order.
After posting the order, check if the seller is online by contacting them. If the seller is online, you can proceed the payment with the seller’s payment method.
You will see “Mark Payment Completed” button after locking the order. Beside the button there will be a countdown time for the order. Complete the payment and click “Mark Payment Completed” before the countdown is over, otherwise, the order will be automatically cancelled.
If you do not have enough time to complete the transaction, please click “apply for more time to pay” to extend up to 30 minutes.
Complete your payment within the order’s term of validity and leave a message.
After you complete the payment, wait for the seller to release the coins.
When the seller confirmed they received the payment, the seller will release the cryptocurrencies. The cryptocurrencies will be transferred to the buyer from OTCBTC’s trustee system. In History Records, you can see the cryptocurrencies you bought transferred into your account.
