How can I buy bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies?
On the bitcoin.de marketplace you can see sales offers published by other traders.
If you want to purchase bitcoins please choose an offer from the left column „Buy“. You do not necessarily have to enter the amount of bitcoin and the maximum price. If you do, our system will display only offers that meet your requirements. When there is no offer matching your requirements then you will be offered to create a new purchase order that would subsequently be shown in the right column „Sell“.
To conclude a purchase please choose an offer and click „Buy“. This will forward you to the detail page of the offer. Here you can enter the exact amount of bitcoins (a number between the minimum and maximum amount of the offer) that you want to purchase. You can now conclude the trade by clicking „Buy now“.
What needs to be done after a trade is concluded?
Once a trade is concluded we will provide the buyer with the verified bank account data of the seller. The buyer has to issue the payment from his bank account directly to the bank account of the seller. Also the payment has to be confirmed by the buyer on the details page of the corresponding trade (within 60 minutes after accepting a sales offer or within 18 hours when one of the buyers purchase orders gets accepted) for the bitcoins of the trade to enter our escrow service.
Once the seller confirms the in-payment the bitcoins will be transferred to the account of the buyer.
If you want to purchase another cryptocurrency instead of bitcoins (BTC), all you have to do is select the appropriate cryptocurrency using the tab at the top of the marketplace, e.g. ETH/EUR instead of BTC/EUR. The purchase process is otherwise identical for all cryptocurrencies.
