SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, TOTAL SCAM!!!!!Here is my experience with them:
So I wanted to buy the 150$ Paypal to Bitcoin package, but there was somehow a problem with my Payment…
They suggested me, to buy Bitcoins with Gift Cards, so I bought a 100$ iTunes card and made a new Bitcoin order. Then OVER 24 hours later, they've said, that one digit of the Gift Card code was missing. (I think, they did this, to get more time to not have to pay those Bitcoins anymore! Ok, let's continue…)
I was like "WHAAT???", so I made a new order again, with double checking the code… The stupid live-chat guy said, it will only take 0.5 to 6 hours till I receive my Bitcoins…
24 hours passed, still no Bitcoins! I went on their site to ask the live-chat, why I didn't receive anything, but THERE WAS NO LIVE-CHAT ANYMORE!
So I wrote a ticket on their website, and hoped, that I will receive an answer. I also emailed them, but DAYS passed again with NO RESPONSE!!! :-(
Today I went on their website, and the first thing I've noticed, is that the purchase limit of Bitcoins with Paypal decrease from $250/day to $25/day. I thought this is somehow fishy…
Then an hour later or so, I've seen, that THE WEBSITE IS DOWN!!! (check it for yourself, http://onexbtc.com )
FUCKING SCAMMERS!!! Now I have 100$ lost!!!
I always do my research, before putting my money ANYWHERE! But they had many positive reviews, so I thought this website is legit…
Turns out, its NOT!
Please, if you have some cryptos to spare, I would REALLY appreciate it! Just 5 bucks or so, it would really help… :-(

Someone log in my account in Russia, wtf, poor security, moderators are scammers slling your personnal information to others

This site is full of scammers and when you want to place a Backpage ad, Paxful charges you to transfer funds, but great thing is now Backpage takes gift cards as payment, so we no longer have to buy Bitcoin. Backpage is taking Amazon,Starbucks,Wallmart and many other gift cards as payment and you get the full face value of the card.
Trucker - March 29, 2017
This site is the absolute worst, all of these users are scammers. Ether submitted fake Amazon cards and when called on it cancelled trade, got slick and allowed me to upload funds to Amazon and then put a lock on it or paid with PayPal and reversed payment. The last one I'm not sure if the situation is user ChicagoStone is actually the same person as the PP or account or if ChicagoStone somehow gained access to the account on PP that has now filed a complaint against and me and sent me funds that way. Luckily I am an Amazon Prime member and they removed the lock, gave me the funds from that card. Felt nice that this $195 was finally not being used to roll unsuspecting BTC sellers.https://paxful.com/user/ChicagoStone

This was all in two days of selling, the trades that did go through I'm half just waiting for PP to send me an email that those have been disputed because the person is a MERCHANT and a piece of shit, so they know PP will more than likely side with them, or because the person I was dealing with had unauthorized access to a legit PP account. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE. They did send me something via email, which they say they don't do in the FAQ on CHICAGOSTONE based on their policy of outing members who you file a report on that they approve. If the moderators/admins/owners are corrupt as well this could be a while goose chase. Number on file actually matches up with the ID ChicagoStone sent me, probably bullshit, but have at it everyone. If anyone can dig up whoever [email protected] is I will tip you, just email [email protected] with info.

MODERATORS INVOLVED IN FRAUD, Probably working with scammers. Awarding coins he shouldn't.Moderator
@saherhegazy82 Buyer here has reported you for this trade. Explain what exactly what issue have you had with your skrill trades.
Mar 29th 2017 11:13 AM
Dear Moderator, I make a living at Paxful nowadays and obviously I can't work. The idea of using Skrill relied on the following; having 3 Skrill accounts, one is mine [email protected](USD) connected to my bank account at the UAE where I am a resident, a project manager and a business owner who recently got in financial trouble to withdraw money to bank, second one [email protected](EURO) belonging to my wife who's European and through her account we can buy bitcoins cheap and create margin, and the third one [email protected](USD) belongs to my best friend, we are aging this account to use with the known instant method to buy BTC. After receiving the funds from Mr. Proxy they were moved to the EURO account for us to buy and we instantly tried to circulate it as we needed the coin. Both the Skrill and the BTC merchant accounts were immediately closed after that transaction. I have been communicating with BP CEO and support team since then and they are refusing to give any information, Skrill are also stalling.
Mar 29th 2017 11:15 AM
I don't want to forfeit using your services, I like it here. I will accept your decision. Thank you.
Mar 29th 2017 11:15 AM
my coins are on hold for a day vp1yMwP7z1q, I was not able to trade nor earn, and since the buyer paid nothing for that trade, while marking as paid. The buyer had willingly cancelled the other trade and I am doing my best. Buyer can resort to Skrill for reserve. Thank you very much. Please release me my coins if you can, I need to work, but again I will accept your arbitration as I need to get back to work :)

@saherhegazy82 So basically you are saying that your accounts got shutdown you had no clue, buyers here have been loosing funds because you said them your account Skrill account has been suspended that you neither can withdraw or do refunds. Over it you blocked these buyer so they can not open any new trade with you, but you moved remaining coins out now so even they try with an alternate account they account. Is that all correct?
Mar 29th 2017 11:23 AM
Only one account got closed [email protected] which is what we used to buy our coins through BitPanda. The others are working now, I confirm I have not access to that account. The reason why I blocked this buyer is that he consistently refused to send the verification I asked to resolve my issue with Skrill and BP. I moved my coins out as I am worried he may chase me with more fake account like the one he made imriich.
Mar 29th 2017 11:26 AM
Once again I will respect your decision, I believe I can do well with Paxful.

@saherhegazy82 There's nothing in your Offer/Trade Terms that a buyer will be asked for Identifications. These Buyers aren't fool for running around you like this, you made them loose money so they have to chase you around & blocking/moving funds out like this made it even clear.

I have already contacted skrill buyers in past asking them to a chargeback which 99% they can't neither these buyers. You have to add funds back & refund these buyers who you took funds from, current dispute will be closed for buyer. You have 24 hrs to refunds other skrill buyers, add funds re-open the escrow, if there's no refund in next 24 hrs your account access be blocked here.
Mar 29th 2017 11:39 AM
I have never had an issue in any of my trades, and I didn't fool anybody. In my terms I stated I will only release after I receive 100% verified funds and not a second before no matter how long that takes. If anything it was me who was chasing him for verification. Again he put my coins on hold for a day with another account that is fake, and stopped my business. I did nothing wrong, who is going to compensate me for that day I was on hold.
Mar 29th 2017 11:43 AM
I know that it is against the rules to have multiple accounts, it's against the rules to hold coins, it's against the rules to curse. I did none of that, all I asked for was to get my money, nothing else.

Hello guys,Please stay away from Paxful and their vendors/sellers. Too many scammers and criminals on their platform and they do absolutely nothing about it. They tolerate scammers and congenital liars on their platform so guys be extremely. Sent a seller I dealt with once before $50 dollars from my skrill account and the criminal told me to wait until he withdraws the money in his US bank account and then release my bitcoin. I waited for 10 minutes and the criminal sent me this screenshot a fake screenshot message with skrill link showing that his account has been blocked therefore he cannot withdraw the money and cannot refund the money back to my skrill account so I have screwed him.
The skrill screenshot was photo shopped of which any nerd can clearly notice. The scammer was quick to open a dispute, I mean seriously?? Dispute for what since he hadn't even paid me out. I was the one who is supposed to open the first dispute but being a scammer and a criminal he is he used the dispute as a defence mechanism and cried out like a scallywag. I reported him to paxful and nothing gets done and the scammer is still trading on their platform as of today.
I contacted skrill support on: +442033082520 and they told me that the criminal has received and withdrawn the money. Please stay away from this platform and their vendors/sellers/traders. They are pathological criminals. DO NOT TRUST ANYONE ON THEIR PLATFORM.
One good turn does NOT necessarily deserves another !!
Be smart !!
saherhegazy - March 23, 2017
I am a seller at Paxful. It is a great platform that had actually made me make a lot of money, their support is really bad though. They do not respond most of the time and ignore disputes with obvious scams.
Paul - March 21, 2017
My experience with PaxFul has been both good and bad, good in the sense of flexibility to choose different payment methods to buy bitcoins. Bad in the sense of I had to search a lot of traders just to make sure I am not scammed, I make hard earned money so getting scammed is not NEVER an option. So it's 4 stars for me.
DarkAngel - March 21, 2017
So far I'm happy with dealing with PaxFul, I choose to deal with traders who have lots of good reviews just to avoid getting scammed, so far I know there are a lot of traders in this site and its possible there is also many scammers here. I'm not the best person to give advice but if I was I'd say ONLY deal with trusted sellers in the site.
No genius - March 20, 2017
I was just reading reviews on here and yes I actually read them. Start by saying I am no genius I probably just smart enough to get my ass in trouble with online currency. I have made around 30 trades on Paxful? Twice someone tried to hack my email! I dude yeah let me remove my Authenticor app for you I said not a genius but not a retard. Other than those 2 retards I have never had a single problem. I mostly trade with the same people I actually buy coin then trade it for certain gift cards. I can get a gift card cheap. I would give Paxful 4 stars not 5 because. I love this idea but it is very risky, very unsafe, my Coinbase account got hacked boy they were disappointed. So no platform is safe. I have pretty much used all of them. Never dealt with customer service except to report the 2 previous mentioned retards. This isn't really about Paxful but, 1 guy said it best if you want something to work in the future you gotta make it safer! Blockchain is an amazing technology when you read about it. There just more of them (asshole online thieves) than us. I'm not a software developer. Therefore these sites have to be trusted. I would hate to see this thing go down. Doing 2 trades off the get at $1000 and $500? Damn that is trusting. There are legitimate vendors but like moms says if it to good to be true then it probably fake! PS you all hack my shit I work for a living and you will be sooooo disappointed! Lol
