- Disputes
Fast-Track: a silent seller no longer holds up your order
If the seller misses the release window and then does not respond, and you uploaded a video of your payment or your bank statement, P2PLY decides the order for you. The USDT is released 24 hours later unless the seller appeals with their own bank statement.
- Security
Verification asks for a selfie holding your ID
The identity check now asks for a photo of you holding your ID next to your face, taken in sharper detail, and a confirmation that the ID is genuine. A person still reviews every submission.
- Disputes
UPI transaction numbers stay visible in chat
Phone numbers and other contact details are still removed from order chat and dispute text, but a 12-digit UPI transaction number (UTR) now reaches the seller as written, so they can find the payment in their own bank.
- Performance
A faster site on phones
Phones now download only the language they use, fonts are smaller and cached for a year, and heavy visuals load after the page is ready. Most visitors use P2PLY from a phone, so this is where speed matters most.
- Orders
Release windows that follow the payment method
After the buyer marks an order paid, the seller has 15 minutes to release on instant methods such as UPI and IMPS, and 30 minutes on other methods. A missed window goes to a moderator; USDT is never released on a timer.
- Disputes
Ten minutes to settle it yourselves
A dispute now starts with 10 minutes for both sides to sort it out in the order chat. The person who opened it can withdraw it and carry on with the order; otherwise a moderator takes over.
- Wallet
A 24-hour hold that protects both sides
USDT bought on P2P can be sold again at once, but can be withdrawn or converted 24 hours after it arrives. A bank payment can be reversed or reported as fraud after release, and the hold leaves time to sort that out. The unlock time is shown on the order, Withdraw and Convert screens.
- Wallet
Faster withdrawals and ads that go live at once
Withdrawals with no risk flag are sent automatically, up to 1,000 USDT in 24 hours; anything else is still reviewed by a person. New ads now appear on the market as soon as they are posted.
- Support
Talk to a person on Telegram or Discord
Request a callback from the Support page and a P2PLY representative reaches you on Telegram, Discord or email. Our only support accounts are @p2plyadmin on Telegram and Discord.
- Fees
0% trading fees
Buying and selling on P2P costs nothing for either side. Convert stays at 1%, and withdrawals carry a flat network fee shown before you confirm.
- Accounts
Deposit before you verify
New accounts can deposit USDT, see their balance and reach Support before their identity check is approved. Trading, ads and withdrawals still need an approved check.
- Market
Save an ad draft and get told when your market opens
You can write an ad before your verification is approved and publish it once it is. If no one is trading your currency yet, ask to be notified when the first ad appears.
- Merchants
Merchant Program opens with refundable bonds
Verified merchants can post ads with a trust badge, backed by a refundable USDT bond. Tiers, perks and exact bond amounts are published on the Merchant Program page rather than quoted case by case.
- Disputes
Evidence threads and appeals on disputes
Both sides can attach payment proof to a dispute, and a decision can be appealed inside a fixed window. Escrow waits for that window to close rather than releasing the moment a decision is recorded.
- Security
Identity matching added to KYC review
Verification now captures typed identity details — legal name, date of birth, document country — and matches the reviewer-confirmed name against the account before trading is allowed.
- Wallet
Convert between networks without leaving the platform
Move USDT between supported networks internally instead of paying to withdraw and redeposit. Conversion is backed one-to-one and priced at a flat 1%.
- Accounts
One-time-code signup
Signup verifies your email with a one-time code up front, so an account is confirmed before it can be used. Reset links and account emails were rebuilt at the same time.
- Wallet
Withdrawal settlement split from broadcast
Withdrawals record settlement independently of the on-chain broadcast, so a slow network confirmation can no longer leave a balance in an ambiguous state.
- Fees
Flat 1 USDT network fee, previewed before you confirm
Withdrawals carry a flat 1 USDT network fee, shown in a preview with the exact amount that will arrive. A confirmation step now stands between you and every money-moving action.
- Mobile
Mobile apps enter development
Work started on native iOS and Android apps sharing the same accounts, escrow and verification as the web platform, with biometric unlock. They are not released yet — the launch date will be announced here.
- Fees
Zero trading fees, and a rewards programme
Buyers, sellers and advertisers all trade at zero fee. Referral and trading rewards launched alongside it.
- Verification
Three-step verification and escrow trade rooms
KYC became a single guided three-step flow, and trade rooms went live against real escrow — funds lock before any fiat payment is made.
- Platform
Current platform build begins
The platform was rebuilt on its present foundations: platform-controlled escrow, the peer marketplace, and wallet-control verification across supported networks.
- Marketplace
Merchant model and ad marketplace defined
The advertiser side took its current shape: merchants post their own ads and carry a bond, with tiering to separate established merchants from new ones — the structure the Merchant Program launched on.
- Disputes
Dispute process rebuilt around evidence
Disputes moved from a single operator decision to an evidence-backed process with an appeal window, on the principle that escrow should never release while a decision can still be contested.
- Networks
Multi-network support settled on three chains
TRC20, BEP20 and Polygon were chosen as the supported networks, balancing what people actually hold USDT on against fees and settlement time.
- Compliance
Verification made mandatory before trading
The compliance model was settled: government ID plus a live face check, reviewed by a person, required before a user can trade rather than prompted afterwards.
- Architecture
Escrow-first custody model chosen
The decision that shaped everything since — the platform holds the seller's USDT in its own custody for the duration of a trade, instead of leaving users to trust each other's wallets or manage a seed phrase.
- Platform
P2PLY begins
Work started on a peer trading platform where the escrow, verification and dispute process are run by the platform rather than left to the two people in the trade.
