Yes, if you find your trustworthy P2P trader on RetoSwap or XmrBazaar, that is the safest way.
Trustworthy is the key word: there are a lot of scammers!
On XmrBazaar, for the safest options look for a yellow checkmark (verified seller) and/or a yellow shield (bonded user) - @SoulReaver is one of them :) - AND transact ONLY with multisig escrow (https://xmrbazaar.com/escrow-guide) or a bonded user. ALWAYS.
How do you verify the yellow check and shield people aren’t scammers?
No one can verify that people aren’t scammers.
Bonded users (shield badge) put real XMR at risk: if they scam and lose a dispute, they can lose the bond. Bonds guide: https://xmrbazaar.com/bonds-guide/
Yellow check / verified users are either well-known in the Monero / XmrBazaar community and/or have a solid prior track record.
Escrow (or a bond) is the only truly scam-proof signal we have: scammers do not lock their own money in 2-of-3 multisig, and they definitely don’t use bonds: it would bankrupt their entire “business model.”
TL;DR: Use multisig escrow or a bonded seller. Always.
Makes sense. Thanks.
