3. You confirm: Verify GCash receipt → release USDT sa buyer
4. Peso sa GCash: Ready para sa bills, groceries, o transfer sa bank

USDT → Maya

Same process — P2P sell sa Maya payment method.

USDT → Bank	P2P	₱15–₱25	5–15 min

Tips para sa Smooth E-Wallet Transactions

1. Fully verify account — GCash/Maya limits restrict transactions kung hindi verified
2. Keep screenshots — proof ng P2P transactions para dispute resolution
3. Don’t cancel frequently — high cancel rate lowers your P2P rating
4. Match amounts exactly — transfer exact amount shown sa P2P order
5. Use trusted merchants — high rating, verified badge, many reviews

”Nablock ang GCash ko dahil sa crypto”

Rare pero possible. GCash may flag unusual patterns. Prevention:
