I think over 10 years ago I did the P2P and didn’t have issues. I think both the buyer and seller were cautious of one another. However I would never do P2P again and would much rather just KYC because its just too much work.

You need to pick a time, a place and you can’t deal with large amounts the first time. Not a good way to buy/sell tons of money. Hence when exchanges started to come out I just used them and got the money sent into my bank account. Much safer and quicker.

you only follow instruction in p2p site
example you use binance p2p you only follow bnance p2p rules,
if youre money not ready in youre hand dont send youre coin stll pending after buyer send youre money
never let go of a coin, until the money is in your account
