NFTs also like normal crypto assets so we can buy and Sell, also Transfer from one wallet to another wallet very easily. All those Transaction work on using Blockchain Technology.

In the present market, there is a lot of NFT related Platform available those offer to buy and to sell NFTs. From this OpenSea, Mintable, Raible are more popular and very active market platforms.

Here we get a lot of unique NFTs at a reasonable price. Every day huge members buy and sell their NFTs here.

All most of all NFT platforms run on using Ethereum Blockchain. Because this blockchain allows NFTs to hold more required details like ownership of authority. So possible to avoid hacking and overwritten those.

Opensea Active Users And Trading Volume

OpenSea Services

Here we get amazing services no doubt about it. Because all transactions are done through using a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain.

OpenSea doesn't hold our custody, on connecting our wallet we buy and sell our collections. This means all activities done through our connected Ethereum wallet, OpenSea doesn't enter with it.

So here we get 100% security for collections.

For this Transaction we don't need to create a new account in Opensea, just connecting our wallet is enough.

Here we get more than 200 categories with 4 million NFTs. Those we buy using Ethereum. But ETH is a more volatile cryptocurrency for avoiding those fluctuations we can mint those into stables coins like DAI. Then after we can finish our trade. This feature I like more.

Here we also create our own NFTs, For this, no need for any coding language just skills enough. Those we sell here also.

OpenSea Pricing

Here we can create our NFT free of cost. But for selling, we need to mint those in Ethereum Network for this Transaction we need to pay at least 100$ due to high Gas fee, otherwise, we don't get that's much.

Along with 2.5% commission, we need to pay to opensea. This is very less compared to other platforms. Because in those platforms we need to pay commission above 5%, we don't get below this.

For video, game-related NFs commission fee is around 5% to 15%, based on quality and other things those commission prices get changed.

Customer Service of OpenSea

Here we get good customer support. In general, here we don't get any payment related issues. Because all transactions go through on smart contracts on Ethereum Blockchain.

Here for cancelling or modifying those trades not possible by OpenSea.

But for any support and any Doubts, we can ask them through [email protected] and discord channel here we get answers.

OpenSea Mobile App

At present OpenSea not having any mobile related application. But we can access this platform through Trustwallet or Metamask wallet browsers directly.

So Mobile users also possible buy or sell NFTs on Opensea platform very easily.

NFT market place starts with OpenSea, This first and largest peer to peer crypto collectable lending platform. Very active market place also.

It having a mobile-friendly UI, so we access it through mobile also very easily.

Here we get large unique varieties of collections. So beginners learn more here. At the same time, buyers get huge varieties here.
