How do I create a LocalBitcoins account?

Local Bitcoins is a legitimate platform, similar to eBay, where dealers in your region offer bitcoins for sale at various prices and transact directly with you. 

Local Bitcoins accepts online bank transfers, cash deposits at local banks or transfer agencies like Western Union, and in-person meetings with sellers. 

Most bitcoin vendors will not accept payment by PayPal or credit card from a first-time buyer. If you would like to find out how to create a local bitcoin account then keep reading.

If there is a green dot next to their name, they are online and active, a brown dot means they are inactive, and a grey dot means they are offline. 

This indicates the preferred payment method of the vendor. 

PRICE/BTC — the seller's price per bitcoin in your local currency.
