Steps
1. Open P2P
On the website: Buy Crypto → P2P Trading. In the app: the P2P Trading section.
2. Filter the ads
Choose the coin (USDT), the amount, your local currency and your payment method.
3. Pick an ad and enter the amount
Enter the amount in your currency or in USDT. Some advertisers ask for extra verification, such as a photo of your ID or proof of payment.
4. Pay before the timer runs out
Once the advertiser accepts your order, you're taken to the order page with a timer. Pay the seller using the details shown in the order, from an account in your own name.
5. Tap Payment Completed
Once you've actually paid, tap Payment Completed to let the seller know.
6. Receive your crypto
After the seller releases it, the crypto appears in your Funding Account.
About fees
Bybit's own pages disagree. The older FAQ says P2P is fee-free, while the updated selling guide (September 2026) says fees may be charged to both sides, depending on the currency, the advertiser's level and the type of ad. Check the order details before you confirm.
P2P Express
Available in the app only: go to P2P Trading → the P2P Express tab, enter the amount, and the system matches you with an ad.
Protect yourself
- Pay from an account in your own name, and only to the details shown in the order.
- Don't tap Payment Completed until you've actually paid.
- Keep all communication inside the order. More: The most common P2P scams.
