OK, so if I buy BTC through paybis (as that was the 1st one listed) does it just sit in a wallet on their site until I'm ready to put the recipients code in (a day or so later?). Is that all I do? Does it disappear? Does it sit there indefinitely? Do I need to move it around somehow as a baffler or does that not work/not necessary?

yes, exchanges are happy to hold your coins and you can send them directly. there is some privacy and control to be gained from your own wallet but its not required.

I've just come across Exodus app. I believe its a wallet but it looks like you can also purchase coin from them. Anyone with experience of using Exodus? Good bad or indifferent?

all good with Exodus wallet new stuff added regularly i have it as my backup and is easy to use

Just wanted to add,once you have pressed buy you need to choose your shipping method before paying :) it's in red letters on the pay page :)

So I've made a wallet with electrum but if I want to buy bitcoin off those sites it asks for I'd verification? Is there a way around this? Is it safe to buy bitcoin for use on this site when you've had to verify you identity? Seems mad dodgy to me...

pretty much the default behaviour is suspect but there are lots of ways to obfuscate for a bigga that cares. bitcoin atms are anonymous in many places and theres always p2p traders.

I've found bittylicious for buying the bitcoin and then Exodus for a wallet has been very good. No matter where you buy the coin from, you'll have to provide ID, proof of address etc. Just remember - buying bitcoin is totally legit. Bittylicious has got very good rates and based in the UK. Exodus is a simple enough wallet and pretty cheap fee's again. One last note... I used Lloyds bank and they did a 'security check' before putting the payment through. This is because the banks don't want you buying bitcoin - it ruins there fun. I tried to say I was buying investments then they started asking loads of questions... I then realised honesty is the best policy and just told them I was buying crypto and put my god dam payment through. But they did and all is cool. So don't be surprised if that happens and just say "it's my money and I'm very happy to do with it as I please - respect my authority!"

This is EXACTLY my experience, cept I use Localbitcoins. But everything else is exactly the same.

Hi I have download the app CEX I0 and I have money in my wallet. I am unsure what to do next as I am a complete noob.How do I transfer the money to LB please help xxx

added tip: buy usdt on exchange then wait for dip on BTC usdt pair chart buy btc then wait for price to go up then buy LB order with btc and by doing this this way most of the time the postage and fees payes for itself seams obvious but for anyone buying regular on here should get to know and use the cryto for what its for (making money)

If I use paybis do I need a wallet if I'm sending the btc immediately

these exchanges have wallets to hold your crypto but i strongly suggest you seek self custody and send coins to your own wallet then send payment from your own wallet. sure you can send payment from these exchamges but to me thats direct connect the exchanges wallet to LB vendar wallet that cant be good. once you have your own wallet and transfer, its just your wallet keys and nothing connected to any exchange when you view the transaction online this info will only have yours and the LB vendars public keys. far safer than exchanges to LB Vendors if you ask me

you can send from paybis. if they have minimums or other unhelpful policies just send to your own wallet (there are lots of free ones) and pay for items from there.

Thanks for your help

Just joined paybis.when I buy btc does it go to this wallet and I send to vendor .any help appreciated

yes exactly!

What is a bitcoin address please - Im trying
to purchase in paybis

that just identifies where you are sending the coins, its like an account number fromthe dark old days of banking

Sorry for the confusion, but when buying btc can I send it to my electrum wallet first and then to the seller? or do I just send it straight from the exchange to the seller?

wallet first i suggest

most go direct from the exchange for convenience. some exchanges have prohibitive fees or privacy issues, in this case get wit da wallet ;}

A bit of a boomer question... Do I need to confirm that I've received the goods so that it releases funds from escrow to the seller? What if I buy without logging in, how do I confirm receipt then?

No, you don’t need to confirm receipt for funds to be released in due course…in any event (including not having logged in) funds will be released unless you raise a dispute…or your funds will be auto returned to you if the items are not marked as sent by the vendor…

Hey Happy Borg, is there a way to search for a specific Vendor over simply scrolling through the Items page?

Thanks

Ctrl +f opens search top LB site

just use google: "little biggy + vendor name"

Very straight forward. Thanks for this info <3 Hopefully everyone can benefit from this.

hi im trying to register on here but it asking for a referral token can you please help?

thats optional, but it looks like you registered ;}

very simple and informative thanks

*My bad, I was just impatient! All sorted now*

This maybe a silly question, apologies if it is!

I made an order, sorted the payment from my wallet and the order still states unpaid for the full amount after the transaction has had 3 confirmations. Have I missed something?

if it doesnt refresh simply contact transaxe support with the order id or the btc address you sent to.

dont worry its impossible to lose a bitcoin payment ;}

check out btc direct with id without id check out crypto voucher io don’t buy anymore then €45 at a time you can only do this 5 times until you will have to verify id

What you should have done is get a wallet and transfer coins from CB to your personal wallet. In this case will be less suspicious rather sending straight from your CB acc or at least thats what ive heard. I use it as well but first transfer the coins to my personal wallet and from there i deal with transactions. Good luck!

Rick's the new leader guys!

Lol, i wish i was new, but i have wasted so much money on fee's and i feel the pain of others on a budget, i have been trying to let people know about how CB works and that people can buy a quarter for under a pound fees for the last two years.
The trick is to avoid wallets therefore avoiding crap fees.
And I'm sure any future crackdown on btc will first involve wallets.
I do have an edge wallet for LB referrals but the good thing about edge is it is anonymous, yes the fees are high but it's free money so i don't mind taking a lil hit now and again.

just done this but seen the wallet has transaction fee!

I have been using Coinbase from day one myself, no problems

Coin base for me , just send it straight from there , no problems

I've used Coinbase for over 50 buys now. Never had a problem. The only tip I would have is of you are buying on cb with a credit card then let your provider know. Mine credit card kept getting rejected and it was because my bank didn't think the transaction was legit

Every other wallet is a third party except blockchain itself ,it is bitcoin.
Though because of all the new regulations that have been sneaked through by those idiot crooks in government you now need a gold account verification to buy and sell bitcoin,which means photographic ID online through a company called verrify.
Plus they shut down Alphavend and all the ATM`s.
Man the hoops i have had to jump through to get to be able to just buy it,up to my bank telling them hey stop blocking stuff on to mastercard stop blocking me,hello it is me okay you all know me i have been on this planet a long time .... and now i can buy bitcoin again lol

I’ve use Bitpanda from the get-go, and their fees were reasonable at first, but lately the fees have been astronomical! Yesterday I ordered 7g’s and the fees for that one transaction was £27!! They also make it really difficult to contact someone for an explanation.

I'm leaving bitpanda because of the pathetic fees. I haven't tried(but will soon), but someone in lb was talking about buying btc on bittylicious and have exodus as a wallet

Coinomi is a good wallet

Been using Coinbase for ages. I’ve had issues like that before and it’s usually due to CB requiring you to log into the website and fill in some extra security details etc blah blah.

Also CB carry a lot of weight in terms of pushing conformations buy setting reminders on the blochchain, i have total confidence with even very small orders that can otherwise be ignored and even discarded with other broker's, for example sending a tip to a vendor.

how does that work? don't miners just use fees to determine what to process?

Yes that is still the case but CB have a flagging or alert system for trades that are dragging which alerts miners re confirmations.
For some reason these reminders from CB are enough to confirm say the 3rd conformation on a very small trade.
I guess the system works because in the busy world of mining reminders seem to work but i would have to speak to a miner to find out if there is any other incentive for taking on a tiny CB trade other than being reminded about conformations.

For example i have six referral payments that are years old that will never be confirmed because they very small amounts and have been forgotten.
If these payments had been sent to me via CB i would have recieved them as i have never lost a small trade with them.

The way to do it is open a coinbase pro account then load your normal CB account with fiat which you then transfer to your pro account for free, then you buy btc on the CB pro exchange for about 0.20p for 70 dollars worth, you then transfer your buy back to your normal CB account for free, from there you you send you btc to LB for less than a pound.
I have been using this system for 2 and a half years.
At no point do you need a wallet, just your CB account and a pro (free) account.

I have seen posts saying not to send from CB to LB but LB must have this covered because I'm 2.5 years in and will be continuing this system.

Could it have been transaxe hanging, been known to happen, never for that long though. Coinbase has never been an issue for me, transactions usually at the most take 30 mins maybe. Did see an email today from them about possible regulation changes...sounded official and a bit scary...financial institutions trying to get control of the crypto....wonders what others thought about that ...

Hey guys, im new 2 this. first post. Im setting up coinbase, is best to use coinbase wallet to send btc or should i use any specific wallet app?

I saw that comment too, saying their coinbase got shut down for sending to certain addresses etc...
I moved everything to wallet but sending from nano has a network fee

I find the charges high on Coinbase, I use btc just for sending I just use Coinbase for trading

can you not select the fee on coinbase? ive never used them but most wallets allow this

Never had an issue.

Coinbace has some of the highest fees you are better off using a different on-ramp.

Also it is important to keep your BTC in your own self custody wallet.

“Not your keys not you Bitcoin”

No probs with coinbase since June I always send from my wallet

Been using coinbase for some time and it works fine at my end.

I always come back to coinbase in the ends-its just too easy.

Biggas, can we keep this topic relevant please, every single one of us is losing money for no good reason till this is sorted!

bumping this to the top of the wall as often as i can

Yup, more consideration needs to be given to this. Everyone losing money for no good reason

Yup been noticing. Used to calculate everything at .75, now need to be sure I calculate at .8 else end up paying extra

bumping this incredibly important topic again as i knew it would just get lost in the wall and nothing would happen about it!

COME ON BIGGAS GET AS MUCH ATTENTION AS WE CAN TO THIS WE NEED THE BORGS TO GET THIS SORTED LAST YEAR

But we buy in Bitcoin, I buy my coin with £ not $ so what does the $ rate matter?…it’s just used on LB as a comparison….or am I missing something 🤔

We buy our bitcoin in £ but the listings are set in $ not bitcoin aren't they? the listing prices don't change so it must be.

$1 is always $1 but the £ value of it changes so if the $ goes up 10% but the listing stays the same then the price you pay goes up 10% - btc has nothing to do with it doesn't matter what you are buying if the price is in $ then the £ value will always go up and down as the currency value changes.

A listing on here of $100 would have cost £76 worth of BTC 2 weeks a go, today the exact same listing is £81 worth of BTC because the $ has gone up but the listing price hasn't gone down to match. Works the other way too, cheaper to buy things in $ when the $ is low.

This is why sellers need to be able to list in £ then we'd have a stable price instead of one that changes with the wind :)

Well, I might be as thick as custard for which I apologise, BUT every item on here is priced in Bitcoin because that’s how you pay. The amount of btc to pay can refresh as frequently as every 30 minutes because btc is a rapidly moving market, not because of the dollar rate. The amount moves to show that you are still paying the equivalent of, in your example, $100.
But there are no actual dollars anywhere! That loss would only occur if I was using £ to buy $ to pay LB…

Let me put it this way- imagine there is no currency price shown at all- only the Crypto price. LB would function exactly as it does now, except you’d need a calculator to see how many of our £/$/€/¥ we need to buy the coin required or what is was actually costing us.
LB has simply taken the pain away by showing you in a global greenback.
One of the big points of Crypto is that it frees us from currency exchange!

Either that or I’m completely fucking stupid, which is a distinct possibility 😉

you started smoking wayyy too early today xD

😝…Jungle Boys to be fair!…

mate you have got very mixed up, the prices here are in $ this then gets converted into BTC thats why like you say the BTC amount changes all the time but the $ price stays the same.... if the sellers set their prices in BTC they would have to change it every 5 minutes as BTC value can drop thousands in a second lol

I can't think of another way to explain it other than I already did mate currently you are paying more bitcoin for the same order because the $ is worth more - $100 of bitcoin is more bitcoin today than it was 2 weeks a go.... the bitcoin price has nothing at all do with any of this, btc is irrelevant it would be the same issue if we were paying in bananas - because the price is set in dollars. We go from $ to bitcoin to £ on here.

crypto frees us from nothing but regulation.

i'm not gonna lie i'm shocked that this needs explaining to anyone that's used this site more than once hahah

This topic should remain at the top of the wall till it's noticed by everyone and sorted out, and thanks for bringing it up zz87, it's already heavily impacting my wallet for no good reason whatsoever.

I've moaned about it since day1 lol to be fair I complained less when the $ dipped low last year but it's really shot up recently!

I ship from the US!

pistach is a uk seller but I'm sure he can beat any border. not to many us sellers on this site as its mainly for the uk but ive head good things about a us seller called sayno2drugs but he only sells carts

His stuff looks amazing man and totally agree 2-3 weeks shipping to the UK from saynotodrugs

Take it easy

Do you happen to know of any US sites?

He sells edibles and concentrates as well. It takes about a week to arrive sometimes in a few days.

https://littlebiggy.org/link/eqod3r Selling gas and exotic at a low price

The items wall shows where every item is shipped from.

Thanks for that. I’m an idiot 😅

You must be able to get better weed for cheaper in the USA, no?

Recreational weed isn’t legal in my state so I thought I’d give it a shot on here

Hebba29 is shipping from the US 🙂

Is your interstate postal security more jacked than international border security?

We get awesome weed in the US, but there are hardly any sellers on the clearnet that will just ship to you directly, thus I use littlebiggy for its escrow service and UK sellers have great weed too, like mimosa and OG Kush

I sell only mushrooms for now. Thinking of adding chocolate bars infused with hashish and 6g of mushrooms. dm me for samples...

I sell.mushrooms, but I assume you are talking cannabis here. The Green Team is US based,and their khalifa kush is excellent.

A number of UK sellers ship to US and even Hashishin in the Middle East ships hash and hash oil to most countries. He has super stealth - thus you pay a bit more. He is just one example.

i thought the green team were uk based?

Green USA.......my mistake boys and girls and donkey riders.

Tgt is from the uk, you need to lay off the shrooms man 👍🏻🏄‍♂️

Sure thing....think I will turn Christian and repent my pagan ways mate!⁶8⁷⁵

Login to LB
Open your browser history from the day you ordered
Navigate to the URL in browser history relating to your completed order page
Order is now associated with your account

Sounds like you ordered without logging in first. It should still arrive. Contact the vendor. If not then you still have the transaction ID, right? Contact transaxe👍

Yes, like BB said people do this all the time when they place the order without being logged in.

If this is the case, there's a way to link the order to your account but I don't recall how to. It should still arrive though 👍

Just ask the vendor if they received it👍

I'm going to tell you how I think it works - no promises.

If you're on Society you share links from Society, people join Society via your links and you receive 1% of their total spend for 3 years. The cryptonic token links automatically.

If you're on LB you share links from LB, people join LB via your links and you receive 1% of their total spend for 3 years.The transaxe token links automatically

But it sounds like you sometimes log in to LB and sometimes Society. What do the links look like?

I think the smart money says delete the Cryptonic token as I know from experience that 2 tokens make things messy. If you want to share do it from LB - you'll get more sign ups. Or if Society shares are clearnet links anyway then you don't need that second token.

Sorry I wouldn't normally chip in so vaguely but unless some LB Illuminati pop up I doubt you'll get clarity except by doing.

Good luck.

i added my reference token from cryptonic to my sharing. is this what i needed to do ? so now i got 2 tokens 1 from transax and 1 cryptonic i think

The vendor will have received the order but you should contact them via Chat for a confirmation. It won’t appear on your order page so you will only be able to follow it through direct with the seller 👍

I have done the same. But did not realise this would be an issue, just thought there would be less of an audit trail to follow

There WILL be less of an audit trail but that’s the the one that helps you- it shows when your order was sent, allows you to raise a dispute against the order if not received and to review the product when it is….

thats as bad as forgetting your password like me lol can i get back the the other account to reset the password?

I wouldn't start worrying just yet. I've had exactly the same situation this week & the late order is from a vendor with a rock-solid rep. 99% its just delays within RM due to the strikes etc. My other order landed within 2 days. If its a good vendor they should be happy to communicate about it though...

I'm really hoping this is the case, the vendor does seem reputable but my worry is that I haven't yet had a reply. Deffo puts my mind at ease to know it's not just me this is happening to. Cheers for the reply and the advice mate, you're a legend!

I'm sure it'll be fine mate but if it goes on for too long and you've not had a response from the vendor then don't be afraid to hit the "dispute" button on your order page, that's what its there for. It should appear 9 days after the order is marked as sent. Postal delays are always going to happen but a good seller will always be willing to work with you to resolve any issues.

It can be nerve-wracking waiting for a late order but in most cases it's usually just the post being slow. I'm currently on day 4 for a "48 Hour" parcel but given the state of R.M. right now I'm not worried.

Oh. And welcome by the way. The community here is (by & large) awesome, friendly & helpful in my experience 👍

Ask the vendor if they have a tracker number for the order,i would imagine NDD has one.
With all the strikes though it probably has got stuck somewhere.

Yeah when I sent them a message I did ask but 3 days and no reply... Many good reviews on their page too so I'm not sure what's going on

Had similar problems in the past and currently on day 3 of next day signed delivery.

Royal Mail strikes at the mo, so I wouldn't be too concerned.

Even when there were no strikes, I would still have late packages... It happens, unfortunately.

Speak to your vendor first - ask if they have delays due to RM with other customers, or if there's maybe been a mix-up (it happens!).

If still nothing and they don't reply, you'll have a Dispute button after a certain amount of time. It's there to protect you just in case.

If it's a reputable vendor then they will want it sorted / explained ASAP. No vendor wants negative reviews on their walls... It's a business, and negative reviews drive customers away!

Let me know if you have any other questions :)

EDIT: Forgot to mention I once had a package never arrive - my reputable vendor resent and it arrived within 3 days... Royal Mail can sometimes mess up, or a vendor may forget to send.

Reckon you'll be ok - this sort of thing happens from time to time, usually down to RM...and things are pretty screwed with them atm.

It's normal for some orders to arrive faster than others - I guess depending on where you and the vendor are in the country, eg DIUK always takes over 3 days for me, but Druids or N.Organics within 1 day (in normal times).

My latest order arrived this week, but this took 10 days after tracking confirmed it had been released from customs and RM had it.

Likely to be a while for you still though,with BH weekend and another strike next Wednesday, so try not to stress and enjoy the order that did land!

Cheers for the advice! Again, it's good to hear that other ppl are experiencing this, I'm sure it will just be down to RM. Very much enjoying the order that came tho! And I'm glad your package came in the end but I wouldn't have thought 10 days! Was it coming from the US or Europe?

It was one of Hashishin's hash coins, so comes from the Middle East. Arrived in the UK within 3 days but then spent 10 more travelling from Heathrow to me! Was worth the wait tho - its very nice

I would like that too! Having received the knock on the door, I would even be willing to pay someone to receive it for me lol

Just get the refund, re buy and try not to do it again;) you might lose a bit or even gain a bit of coin as the exchange rate will be different

Had you sent the btc already? If not you are fine, if you did contact transaxe for a refund

Hey thanks for your response! Yeah I already paid, basically I had 2 orders open but accidently cancelled the wrong one from a simple misclick, now the vendor is telling me that they can't do anything because they technically won't receive the money as the order is "cancelled" even though all parties have been told that I do NOT want to cancel it.... and transaxe are taking 6 years to respond to my messages which isn't helping things
