Buying or Selling Bitcoin? Here's How to Avoid Paxful Fees!

If you're into cryptocurrency, you've probably heard of Paxful. This peer-to-peer marketplace allows users to buy and sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Lightning, and more easily and quickly. You can even sell your Bitcoin directly for gift cards.

While Paxful never charges its users to buy cryptocurrency, they do charge fees for selling it, and these fees can add up quickly. This is especially true given the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies. DoNotPay can show you the best way to avoid being charged for selling Bitcoin on Paxful.

How Much Does Paxful Charge Per Transaction?

Paxful never charges users for buying or receiving cryptocurrency. However, they do charge a percentage of your transaction fee to sell cryptocurrency on the platform, as well as a fee for sending money using your wallet. This fee ranges from 0.5 percent of your transaction to 5% of your transaction, depending on what method you are using to cash out your cryptocurrency.

When sending cryptocurrency on Paxful, you pay a flat fee based on which currency you're using and what type of transaction you're performing.

Paxful Fees Explained

The following table lists all the fees Paxful charges for selling cryptocurrency.

Paxful allows you to transfer up to $1,000 of cryptocurrency per month for free between internal Paxful wallets. If you plan on sending more than that, expect to pay a fee of 1% of your transaction or 1 USD, whichever is greater. If you're sending currencies to an external wallet, you will pay flat fees based on the amount and type of the transaction.

Paxful also charges a 0.5% fee for converting between types of cryptocurrency.

How to Avoid Paxful Fees on Your Own

There are a few different ways to end up giving less of your hard-earned cryptocurrency to Paxful.

1. One way to reduce your fees on Paxful is to prioritize transactions that have lower fees. For instance, even if you know you're buying a Google Play gift card with your cashed-out cryptocurrency, it's better to transfer directly into your bank account than it is to pay the 5% fee for buying the gift card directly. This can save you especially large amounts of money on larger transactions.

2. Another way to avoid fees on Paxful is to keep your trading small-scale. With the ever-variable value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, this may not be feasible in the long term, but you can transfer up to $1,000 of cryptocurrency per month for free between internal Paxful wallets. If you can keep your transactions to under this amount, you can avoid paying the fee of 1% of your subsequent transactions (or $1.00, whichever is greater).
