Hello everyone.

Last week, I used Haveno (reto) to buy XMR for the first time, and everything went really smoothly. Now, I’m considering selling small amounts of XMR, but I have a few concerns and questions before jumping in.

I’ve been trying to figure out how the account signing feature works, but I haven’t found any clear documentation.

How does the signing system operate on Haveno?

What’s the process for getting your account signed, and how important is it for someone who wants to start selling XMR? Are there specific benefits to having a signed account, aside from trust and higher limits?

Risks with SEPA Payments:

How likely is it that someone could pay me with a stolen/hijacked bank account when using instant SEPA? I’ve heard that chargebacks can happen if this is the case, but I’m not sure how common this risk is, especially for smaller transactions. Has anyone who’s used Haveno or Bisq experienced this?

Using PayPal (Friends & Family):

I was thinking of using PayPal and enforcing “Friends & Family” payments to avoid chargebacks. However, is this even an option for selling XMR? Has anyone actually done this successfully, and if so, what should I be aware of?

I’d appreciate any advice or experiences from people who have been selling XMR in these ways. Thanks in advance!

    Not really important. It just limits how much you can buy if your account isn’t signed, selling is not affected. Bisq: https://bisq.wiki/Account_limits

    SEPA: I think SEPA chargebacks are quite rare.

    PayPal: I think PayPal chargebacks, even on family & firends are more likely than on SEPA.

      Thanks for your comment. So for Bisq I would need to buy 0.0025 BTC from an already signed and aged seller. Do you have any information on how much XMR I would need to buy from a seller account that has been signed for over 30 days? I just think it makes a seller look more trustworthy even though it is not necessary.
