How do I sell Bitcoins at bitcoin.de?

If you want to purchase bitcoins please chose an offer from the left column „Buy“. You do not necessarily have to enter the amount of bitcoins 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 which will subsequently be shown in the right column „Sell“.

To conclude a purchase please chose an offer and click „Buy“ which will forward you to the details 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“.

Selling Bitcoins works the other way around:

If you want to sell bitcoins please chose an offer from the right column „Sell“. You do not necessarily have to enter the amount of bitcoins 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 sales order which will subsequently be shown in the left column „Buy“.

To conclude a sale please chose an offer and click „Sell“ which will forward you to the details 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 sell. You can now conclude the trade by clicking „sell 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 transfered to the account of the buyer.
