I’ve tried to open an offer to buy BTC with USD from my local country, Colombia. I tougth i could send Western Union payments from around the world, but seems that this offer can only be picked up from people in my same country, is that so??? Is there a way to change it so anyone around the world can pick it up?

I don’t think that’s the case, what made you think that? You should be able to select Wetern Union - Americas - Colombia (CO) - US Dollar (USD) and fill in the rest.

That’s odd I don’t know if it’s enforced. It doesn’t makes sense to.

I went ahead and create [an issue](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/2922). I don’t think that term would be enforced.
