A Paxful alternative with escrow first
Paxful shut down on 1 November 2025. If you bought or sold there, you can trade the same way here: offers from real people, paid with local methods, and your Paxful record brought with you once a moderator has checked it.
What to check in any replacement
| Question | On Koinzaar |
|---|---|
| Is the crypto locked before the buyer pays? | Yes. Opening a trade moves the seller’s crypto into escrow before any payment is sent. |
| Who decides a dispute? | A person. A moderator reads the trade chat and the evidence from both sides on every dispute. |
| Can a timer release the crypto? | No. A trade that runs out of time is cancelled and the crypto goes back to the seller. |
| Does the platform hold my cash? | No. You pay the seller directly. Koinzaar holds the crypto side only. |
| What do buyers pay? | 0% in fees. |

How an imported record is shown
Imported trades are added to your total and labelled with where they came from, for example “312 trades · 280 on Paxful”. Buyers always see which part of your history happened here. If the evidence later turns out not to hold, the import is removed and your Koinzaar trades stay exactly as they are.
Koinzaar is not affiliated with Paxful. The name is used only to describe where your trading history comes from.
