There’re many reasons to sign up and post a new job on the Bitcoin marketplace. One the biggest reason is the ability to sell your items or services for Bitcoin instead of cash or PayPal. Another benefit is the ability to list whatever you want as long as it’s legal where you live. Yet another benefit of using BTCGigs; No Chargebacks!

No chargebacks?

Because of the way Bitcoin functions no one can cancel a transaction or payment once work is completed. Ever sold an item on eBay or fiverr and completed the all the work you specified only to have the “Buyer” cancel the payment from PayPal? That won’t happen on BTCGigs; we don’t allow chargebacks. Does this mean that “Sellers” will be able to rip customers off? Absolutely not! All transaction and jobs are tracked on BTCGigs; if the Seller does NOT provide the service or item being sold, you will receive a refund.

Affiliate Program:

Fees:

Like most marketplaces BTCGigs charges a fee for all items sold; However unlike most marketplaces the fees are extremely low. While most other sites will charge you 20%, 25%, 30% or more in total fees; BTCGigs charges only 10%. We feel that 10% is a small percent when compared to other services; It will mainly cover the costs of running and upgrading the site. We also offer Featured Job listing for only $1.

Sellers:

Anyone can join BTCGigs; it’s completely free to sign up and Post. Please be as accurate as possible when describing your items or service. Images and Videos always help show your work. If you item need to be shipped you are required to provide a tracking number! If no tracking number is provided the item can be proven delivered and may result in refund for the buyer. Make sure that what you are selling is LEGAL; we are not silk road and do not endorse or Condon any items of that nature. When selling items you are listing in $USD amount; and your account Balances will reflect $USD. When you reach the withdraw requirements your $USD account balance is converted at market price and bitcoins are sent to the wallet you specify. Always remember to review our TOS.

Buyers:

See an item or service you like or wish to buy? It’s free to sign up and easy to order! Simply login into your account and click the “Purchase” button selecting extras if preferred. You will be directed to a payment page where you will be informed of where to send your bitcoins to pay for the item. Once payment is made the seller will be informed to start the work. It’s that easy!

Withdrawals:

All withdraws on BTCGigs are done manually; this is done to further enhance security. BTCGigs uses Coin Base, a well-known Bitcoin “bank”. However we do not store any funds with coin base. At the current time all amounts of Bitcoin are transferred to a secured cold storage (non internet connected) wallet. Again this helps enhance security. Because of these security implementations we require 24Hrs-48Hrs from initial request to send funds. This is because we will need to transfer cold storage to secure hot wallet. Also at the current time the withdrawal limit is a minimum of $50. We realize this is a high set amount but believe it is necessary; If you are a high level or High rated seller withdrawals can be requested at any time. Again we feel this pre cautions are necessary in order to not only protect BTCGigs but the Buyers and Sellers as well. This leads us to other security on the site.

Security:

We take security very seriously at BTCGigs! The site is always kept up to date; we check for updates and security issues every day! BTCGigs has appropriate security in place to block all known sql and xss attacks. Furthermore all IPs that do try to maliciously attack BTCGigs are permanently blocked. If the attacks come from known user IPs, The user’s account is locked and funds made unavailable. The site is also secured with SSL. Brute-Force login is blocked and after 3 invalid passwords the IP is blocked for 24-72 Hours. If the same IP tries multiple times and is locked out multiple times it will also be blocked permanently. All files uploaded to BTCGigs are scanned with an antivirus and all data is submitted to AV companies; this is done to help catch any malware that has been encrypted to look safe.  It is important that if you lose your password you use the password recovery feature! However like all website on the World Wide Web, you must make absolutely sure that your computer is clean of malware and secure. No amount of security can stop someone who has access to or knows your password. Furthermore BTCGigs recommends that you DO NOT use the SAME USER NAME or PASSWORD as any other site!
