P2P exchanges
Order-book or escrow systems where you trade with an individual counterparty instead of an exchange. KYC is up to the peer; payment methods are wide (cash, SEPA, gift cards). Trade safety depends on the escrow design.

What to look for
Use the table below as a starting point. The same rules apply across the site: every claim is dated, sources are linked from each service page, and a service with tiered KYC is no-KYC only up to a threshold that the operator can change at any time. See methodology for how we evaluate entries.
