it ain't ebay but it ain't rocket science either, lets get started:

1 PICK A SELLER
Go with a solid reputation: high rating, lots of good reviews, good delivery times. New sellers can have great deals but it's best to try them after you have some experience with bitcoin and little biggy. You want everything to go as smoothly as possible.


2 REGISTER
Though you can buy without an account its always better to register on little biggy, since a made up username doesn't identify you anymore than no username it's only got upside. If anything goes wrong follow up is much easier to deal with if you have an account and you are building reputation which is important for buyers as well as sellers.

At it's core little biggy is a reputation system everything from visibility, and, feature availability and dispute settlement relies on it.


2 BUY>PAY
you're going to need some bitcoins instructions appear below. note that item's prices appear in green if usd/cards are accepted.

once you've selected your item press BUY (duh).

enter your correct name and shipping address (deliveries can fail without this) and hit PAY. you will be transferred to a payment processor site where you get either a credit card form or a bitcoin address to send your payment.

if you are using bitcoins open another tab/app to access your wallet and send the coins to the stated btc address. within a few seconds (credit card) or minutes (bitcoin) your payment will be received and you will be forwarded back to the little biggy "order page". if for some reason this doesn't happen don't worry, both forms of payment have receipts built into them, just let your seller know what happened and you'll get sorted out.

3 order confirmation
if you've registered there's nothing to do here, within 24 hours (sunday- thursday) your order status should change from "paid" to "shipped", if not send the seller a message right there from the order page. though you can press "request refund" while your order is in "paid" status its best to do so only immediately after the order (if you made an error) or after a delay of 2 or 3 days, otherwise you may be tripping over the seller's shipping process.

if you have purchased anonymously your first look at the order page is very important. make sure you save the order url and password, there is no way anyone can retrieve it and the page tends to time out if you blow it off until later.

4 leave feedback
after your purchase you'll see a red number next to "ORDERS" return reminding you to go to that page to leave feedback, do so as this is what keeps things humming.


* problems
always contact your seller first. however if your shipment hasn't arrived within 2 weeks and you are not satisfied with your seller's response to the situation you should hit the REQUEST REFUND button. although a decent seller will give you time to work things out the escrow providers here tend to operate in 2 week cycles. once you change your order status to "refund requested" you should be hearing from your seller since he can't get paid; regardless the escrow provider will communicate with you to resolve the matter. again it's helpful to be a registered user since your buyer reputation is a factor (along with others like the seller's reputation, recent activities and the existence of shipment tracking).

if your problem is quality rather than shipment it is again best to work it out with the seller. if you are a registered user you can leave feedback and that's important to your seller especially if there is a consistent problem happening being reflected by more than 1 user. if you still get nowhere you can REQUEST REFUND and the escrow provider will be inclined to return a portion of your payment if there is objective corroboration like other complaints or seller unresponsiveness.

always keep biggy's positive vibe in mind. hijacking threads and rude posts don't earn respect here and are bound to cost you. if you need to vent always give people the benefit of the doubt and show that your words are sincere and unselfish, you'll quickly make friends and earn respect that helps you.

happy buying! if you need anymore help just use the topics threads on this page.

Anyone can post an item for sale on little biggy but to charge money for it you need a payment processor. You can do this in seconds with these 2 steps:

1 - Have a bitcoin wallet address ready help

2 - Use the btc address to get a transaxe token at https://www.transaxe.com/register copy and paste it into the “payment processors” field on your “settings” page.

That’s it, you can now sell an item on little biggy.


Details
little biggy is only a place to “post” items; if you want to charge money for them you need a payment processor. Some payment processors have strict visibility rules or reputation requirements, you probably will not be able to see them if you are new, this guide is based on receiving bitcoin payments via transaxe which is the most open platform available.

transaxe works on a “transactional” basis, you don’t really get much from them, just a way to collect payments from buyers and put them into your bitcoin wallet. Support is as minimal as the rest of the experience but the positive side of this is privacy. transaxe doesn’t know anything about you, your items, or your customers, just your reputation statistics.

transaxe doesn’t send the money directly to you, it goes to an escrow account at Escrow Suisse, mostly to protect buyers. Their standard policy is to release funds to you after 16 days or sooner if the buyer contacts them. If you do not have a little biggy reputation you may have more hoops to jump through to get your 1st releases. A lot of this fraud prevention stuff is not published but it is clear that you will be in good shape if your early buyers have a reputation and report back that they received your item. Any ambiguity with these guys is settled only by reputation.. The fees for transaxe+Escrow Suisse are 10% total.

Using lb referral codes it’s possible to make a tracking link and reward your customers/affiliates each time they refer a buyer.

All you need to do is add ?ref=ANYTHING to the end of your little biggy url.

eg to give my friend Anna a tracking link for my little biggy page and all its items I’d give her the following link https://littlebiggy.com/viewSubject/p/4758047?ref=anna

Whenever someone uses this link to buy an item it will generate the code “anna” on the order, visible on the order page and a lot of other places. Everytime I see an order with this I can give Anna a commission, discount or whatever. There is no reporting (I don’t know if this is a privacy thing or whatt) so I keep track with my own notes/spreadsheet. Anna can trust all of this this since she can run a test at any time.

Happy trails and good luck. If you find this helpful please leave something in my tip jar ;)
