| |
| − | | |

| − | == Deposit and fees ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | When taking an offer, Bisq creates a special trade wallet to hold your security deposit and fees. This wallet will be used to pay your taker fee, and will then be used to transfer your security deposit into a multisig escrow transaction together with the seller’s security deposit and the bitcoin being traded.

| |

| − | There are 2 ways to pay for the deposit and fees:

| − | == Send payment ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now that you’ve taken an offer, it’s almost time to pay the seller.
| |
| − | | |
| − | First, before showing you the seller’s payment details, Bisq will wait for the Bitcoin network to confirm the trade’s transactions. On average, this takes 10 minutes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then, you’ll see a pop-up with the seller’s details. Go ahead and pay the seller through the agreed payment method.

| − | '''How long should you wait before sending the payment?'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each confirmation makes a bitcoin transaction exponentially harder to reverse. You can wait for as many confirmations as you like before sending payment—just note the remaining time indicator. The seller must receive your payment before that timer runs out.

| − | '''Important:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Once you’ve sent your payment, be sure to mark the payment as sent in Bisq by clicking the Payment started button.'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | It’s easy to forget this step, but remember: Bisq doesn’t integrate with national currency payment methods in anyway so Bisq won’t know you’ve sent your payment until you say so.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When you click Payment started, the seller will receive a notification that lets them know the payment is on the way. They’ll be on the lookout for it now.

| − | == Complete trade ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | When the seller receives your payment, they’ll mark it as received in Bisq. Bisq will then complete the trade by releasing the bitcoin you bought to you along with your security deposit.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can keep your new bitcoin in your built-in Bisq wallet by clicking Move Funds to Bisq Wallet or send it elsewhere by clicking Withdraw to External Wallet.
