A Floating rate is a percentage limit above/below the spot price at the time of trade which will automatically update as the spot rate changes.

Setting time limits ensures trades happen swiftly between active users. At this step you can also choose to only trade with verified buyers who have completed KYC by ticking the Accept only verified sellers checkbox.

6. Wait for Sellers to Open Orders and Complete the Trade

When a seller wants to buy from your Ad, they will open the order and escrow their crypto. You will then receive an email notification from OpenPeer that an order has been opened.

In OpenPeer, navigate to My Trades. Select the open order and view the seller's payment instructions. Make the payment to the seller and mark the trade as "Paid".

The seller will receive a notification that you have confirmed the order and paid. The seller will then confirm that payment has been received via their payment method, and release the escrowed crypto to your wallet.
