LocalEthereum

LocalEthereum is a safe and simple peer-to-peer platform enabling anyone to swap Ethereum for local currency. It offers a large range of payment methods including bank transfers in 130+ countries, PayPal, AliPay, WeChat Pay, and cash. Using LocalEthereum is a safe, fast and private way to buy and sell ether. Unlike an exchange, localethereum is decentralized, peer-to-peer and has no verification requirements. You can begin trading in less than one minute. Transfers of Ethereum between buyers and sellers are escrowed using a decentralized Ethereum smart contract. Instead of trusting a central authority to hold and release funds, LocalEthereum's escrow system is trust-free. It’s impossible for LocalEthereum staff to read your conversation, or to intervene in a trade, unless you ask for help in the case of a payment dispute. That’s not because of a moral policy — it’s the very nature of end-to-end encryption and the blockchain technology which powers the decentralized escrow service.
