Ride with us as we walk you through the steps!

Steps

Step 1:

First off, register on Coxena.

Then, log in. Upon logging in, you’d see your dashboard

Step 2:

Click “Trade”

Step 3:

After clicking trade, you would see “Escrow Buy/Sell and Instant Swap”; click “Escrow Buy/Sell”

Step 4:

Upon clicking “Escrow Buy/Sell”, you’d be directed to a page, on which there is a list of available “sellers of BTC” (and this is the same as the “buyers of Gift Card”). To put it simply, you’d see a list of users, who want to sell BTC and receive Gift Card as the payment method.

“Note that someone, who wants to buy Gift Cards with BTC, is a buyer of Gift Card but seller of BTC; in the same vein, someone, who wants to sell Gift Cards for BTC is a seller of Gift Card but buyer of BTC. In this article, you will be addressed as the seller of Gift Card but buyer of BTC”

Step 5:

To see the buyers of Gift Card, who are currently offline, click “Include Offline”

Step 6:

Upon clicking “Include Offline”, all the available buyers of Gift Card are shown — do not forget that “buyers of Gift Card” are the same as “sellers of BTC”; they express the same idea, but stated in different ways!

Step 7:

From the list, choose the seller of BTC (buyer of Gift Card) with the best price, which interests you.

Explanation of the list:

First Buyer of Gift Card (Seller of BTC):

The first buyer of Gift Card wants to buy $1.5 Gift Card at $1 BTC. This means you’ll receive $1 in BTC for every $1.5 in Gift Card you sell. In other words, if you sell $50 in Gift Card, you’ll receive $33 in BTC. Also, he is only interested in Amazon Gift Card. As a result, if you want to sell Amazon Gift Card and like his price, you can go ahead

Second Buyer of Gift Card (Seller of BTC):

The second buyer of Gift Card wants to buy $1.9 in Gift Card at $1 in BTC. This means you’ll receive $1 in BTC for every $1.9 in Gift Card you sell. In other words, if you sell $50 in Gift Card, you’ll receive $26 in BTC. Also, he is only interested in ITunes Gift Card. As a result, if you want to sell Itunes Gift Card and like his price, you can go ahead

Third Buyer of Gift Card (Seller of BTC):

The third buyer of Gift Card wants to buy $2 in Gift Card at $1 in BTC. This means you’ll receive $1 in BTC for every $2 in Gift Card you sell. In other words, if you sell $50 in Gift Card, you’ll receive $25 in BTC. Also, he is only interested in EBay Gift Card. As a result, if you want to sell EBay Gift Card and like his price, you can go ahead

Step 8:

After choosing the buyer of Gift Card (seller of BTC) with the best price, which interests you, click the “BUY” button, which is associated with his order.

Note: you are clicking “BUY” since you are buying his BTC with your Gift Card

Step 9:

Upon clicking the “BUY” button, you’ll be directed to the trade page.

Step 10:

You can scroll down to find more information about the order.

According to the image below, the BTC seller’s (Gift Card buyer’s) username is Bigkoli11; his verification status is unverified; the price he wants to sell 1 BTC (with Gift Card as the payment method) is $9,316; the trade limit is 0.002 BTC — 0.02 BTC, and this means that the minimum amount of BTC you can buy with Gift Card is 0.002 BTC while the maximum amount you can buy with Gift Card is 0.02 BTC; the payment method is Amazon Gift Card;

Step 11:

On the same page (from step 10), scroll back up. First, input the amount of Gift Card, in USD, in the second field, you want to sell. Then, the BTC equivalent is automatically calculated and displayed in the first field. In the image below, I want to sell 100 USD in Gift Card and the BTC I will receive as a result is 0.0108 BTC.

Step 12:

Click “Buy BTC”

Step 13:

Upon clicking “Buy BTC”, you will be directed to the payment page.

Step 14:

On the payment page, you can chat up the buyer of Gift Card (seller of BTC)

Step 15:

The buyer of Gift Card replies the message and you can go ahead to send the Gift Card details by clicking the attachment icon at the top-left corner of the page.

Step 16:

Upon sending the Gift Card details, click “Paid”

Step 17:

Wait for the buyer of Gift Card (seller of BTC) to release the coin (BTC).

Step 18:

Once the buyer of Gift Card confirms that the Gift Card details are valid, the BTC is released

Step 19:

Your balance (on your dashboard) is updated.

If the buyer of the Gift Card is trying to be fraudulent after you have sent the card details, you can open a dispute by clicking “Dispute” on the payment page.”

Happy trading!
