📖 Limits in P2P transactions

  • Each ad in the P2P marketplace can have a minimum and maximum trade amount, set by the buyer or seller.

  • Keep in mind:

    • The minimum amount usually varies depending on the payment method and local currency.

    • The maximum amount depends on the ad settings and your KYC verification level.

Example:

  • A seller may require trades between 50 and 500 USDT.

  • If your KYC level doesn’t allow you to trade beyond a certain monthly amount, you must respect that limit.


📖 Timeframes for P2P orders

  • Payment time: once the order is created, the buyer has up to 30 minutes to mark the order as paid.

    • If not marked within that time, the order is automatically canceled.

  • Release time: after the buyer marks the order as paid, the seller has up to 30 minutes to release the USDT.

    • If the seller doesn’t release and the buyer already paid, the buyer can open a dispute.


🔒 Important notes

  • El Dorado keeps the USDT in escrow throughout the entire process.

  • Once the time limits expire, orders may be canceled automatically or move into dispute.

  • Transaction limits also depend on your KYC verification level.


💡 Useful tips

  • Check each ad’s limits before creating an order.

  • Make sure you have the funds available before starting a purchase.

  • If you’ve received payment, don’t delay releasing the USDT: avoid unnecessary disputes.
