In the LBank P2P (peer-to-peer) trading section, the Merchant Ads posting feature is a key tool that enables free exchange between fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. By posting Ads, merchants can independently set their trading prices, limits, and payment methods, providing liquidity and convenience to users. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of posting an Ad and help you manage transactions safely and efficiently.

Safety & Compliance Tips  

1. Use only payment accounts registered under your real name.

2. Do not conduct off-platform private transactions or fund transfers.

3. Respond promptly to counterparty messages to avoid order cancellation due to timeout.

4. In case of disputes, submit an “Appeal” via the customer service channel for platform arbitration.
