You should use binance p2p now. It has the option of payoneer.

A classic scam has been going around on Binance P2P for a while now and is still rife as of December 16. The idea and execution is very simple. After you open a sell trade, the scammer will deposit the equivalent fiat into your payoneer account and urge/persuade you to release the crypto. Later on, they'll contact payoneer and revoke the payment by claiming that their account was hacked. Apparently, payoneer allows recalling payments before the 72 hour mark (maybe even longer). You'll windup losing your crypto as well as the funds in your payoneer account. Even worse, your payoneer account will be flagged for fraud and resolving it with the current payoneer chat support will need nothing short of a miracle.
Binance is an awesome platform. I've been using it for nearly 3 years. But it seems that it's the only P2P exchange site that is entertaining this scam. Yes, they've mentioned reversible scams in their FAQ, but I don't think they've been proactive enough in preventing it. These days, with all the fancy machine learning algorithms, it's fairly easy to detect suspicious behaviour; but for reasons that are not clear to me , they've chosen to turn a blind eye.
The way the scammers work is that they open a new account (with KYC), deposit around 5BTC and 10,000 USDT to appear credible, swindle and finally withdraw everything. This whole process is done in 4 - 6 days; and the cycle starts all over again with a new account. Below is a table of some of the fraudulent accounts. The scammers lure their victims by offering an exchange rate that's considerably higher than the market price. Be cautious when trading via payoneer. This applies to other reversible payment methods like paypal. Protect your funds. Don't release your coins before 72 hours. Stay safe!

Binance is also a good place to buy crypto.
