Unlike decentralized exchanges that anonymously match buyers and sellers and facilitate all aspects of the transaction, there are also some peer to peer (P2P) exchange services that provide a more direct connection between users. Local Bitcoins is an example of such an exchange. After creating an account, users can submit requests to buy or sell Bitcoins, including information about payment methods and price. Users then select their trading partners they want to trade by browsing the lists of buy and sell offers. Local Bitcoins facilitate some aspects of Bitcoin trading. Although P2P exchanges do not offer the same anonymity as decentralized exchanges, they offer users the opportunity to shop at the best prices. Most of these exchanges also provide rating systems so that users have the ability to evaluate potential trading partners before trading.
