Anyone can buy and sell using other people's ads. To post your own ads and set your own price, you need the maker role. Merchant is the next level: a Verified merchant badge, priority in the list and higher limits.
How to apply
- Open P2P → My ads and tap Become a merchant.
- Choose the role — Maker or Merchant. The app shows the requirements and how many you already meet.
- Verify your identity if you haven't yet.
- Top up your USDT balance to cover the collateral — the amount is shown in the application.
- Tap Submit application. The collateral is frozen and the application goes Under review.
Merchant requirements
- An approved maker role.
- A 30-day trade history: number of deals, volume, completion rate and positive rating.
- A USDT collateral deposit and your bank balance details.
After approval
Tap Post an ad and set the coin, currency, price — fixed or floating — limits, payment methods, payment details and payment window.
The collateral is returned when you release the role: in your P2P profile, tap Request collateral return. Finish active deals and archive your ads first.
