XmrBazaar review
XmrBazaar, a Monero marketplace for goods and services, also features listings for trading XMR for cash. Signing up is straightforward, requiring just a username and password. According to its terms, XmrBazaar does not require KYC and can be used with a pseudonym. Buyers have the option to pay sellers directly to their wallets or use a 2-of-3 multisig escrow, selecting a mediator of their choice. XmrBazaar itself never holds the coins or charges fees on trades. Note that mediators are independent and not affiliated with XmrBazaar. In our view, XmrBazaar is well-suited for Monero users who prioritize reading seller reviews.

Where you live and the provider's terms
Many services on this page do not serve every country. Some exclude people because of where they live or their citizenship, not only where they connect from. Read the provider's terms before you send funds. If the terms exclude you, do not use the service, and do not try to get around the restriction, for example with a VPN.
Taxes
A service that does not ask for ID does not change your taxes. In the US, the federal income tax return asks a yes-or-no question about digital assets, and you must report digital asset transactions whether or not they result in a gain or loss. In the UK, you may owe Capital Gains Tax when you sell, swap or spend crypto, and you must keep your own records. Rules in other countries differ.
No KYC is not anonymity
"No KYC" here means the provider says it does not ask for ID in the cases its terms describe. It does not make you anonymous. The provider's terms may let it ask for ID later. Regulated exchanges you send funds from or to may have to collect information about who sends and who receives a crypto transfer. Your tax duties stay the same.
Funds can be held
If a provider asks for more information during a swap or a withdrawal, it may hold your funds until it gets it. Its terms decide what happens next. In the UK, a crypto business that asks for information on a transfer to or from a self-custody wallet, and does not receive it, must not pass the funds on. Read what the provider's terms say before you send.
