How To Buy Bitcoin With Over 300+ Different Payment Methods (Coinbase Vs. LocalBitcoins)









My two favorite ways to buy bitcoin are through Coinbase and LocalBitcoins. They both have advantages and disadvantages.

In general, Coinbase offers the cheapest methods, but you don't have as many payment options to choose from as you do with LocalBitcoins. Coinbase is a business, so you're buying coins from a business in a centralized location. LocalBitcoins is peer-to-peer (like Craigslist) and decentralized.

This post will concentrate on buying bitcoin using LocalBitcoins. In the next post I'll review the process of buying Bitcoin with Coinbase.

Buying Bitcoin With LocalBitcoins

LocalBitcoins is a decentralized, peer-to-peer service to buy bitcoin. It's really a listing service like Craigslist. This service allows you to find a seller of bitcoin without having to go through an institution, which explains why I like it.

How much you pay depends on who you buy from, but LocalBitcoins doesn't charge you any fees for buying bitcoin. The seller pays a 1% fee to LocalBitcoins. Also keep in mind that only the sender (not the buyer) pays mining fees, which are currently .0008 bitcoin. These fees may rise, but I think technology is being put in place to reduce the current scaling problems bitcoin is experiencing. 

These are a few other things to keep in mind before making your first purchase on LocalBitcoins:

  1. Each seller has a different ranking and sells at a different price so find a vendor with a good reputation at the right price.
    Look for VERIFIED Seller with this seal.
  2. READ the TERMS of the offer BEFORE you start the order, always! For example, if you use a gift card, you may need to provide a receipt to verify that the gift card was purchased with cash. Make sure you read what you are agreeing to.
  3. Check the PRICE. The price depends on the payment method. For a better price try cash or bank deposits. For the best price, go with Coinbase.
  4. Read the instructions.
  5. Click I have read the instructions and Paid button ONLY when you have actually paid.
  6. NEVER ask the vendor to release the bitcoins first. This is grounds for an instant ban.
  7. If you aren't interested, cancel the order -  if you are no longer interested and have not yet paid the vendor. It will free up their escrow and let them continue to trade with others.

The process: 

1) First you want to decide how you plan on paying. You have over 300+ options as listed below. 

2) Look for a deal with a verified seller at the price you want. 

3) Once you find a good deal with a verified seller you will be in a live chat with them. They will tell you how to pay.

3) Once you pay, they release the bitcoins (the bitcoins are held in escrow until the transaction goes through).

4) The bitcoins are held in your LocalBitcoins wallet and can be spent anywhere that bitcoin is accepted.
