Bittylicious - UK Bitcoins using Bank Transfers

[nobbynobbynoob]

[Barkeep: Guybrush? Is that a French name?
Guybrush: No, actually it’s a fictional name.

BTC Address is in my profile if you want to tip 

Haha

500µ tipped.

Need some advice please.
Just used BittyLicious for the first time using Pingit and think I made a mistake...when going through the payment I forgot to add the reference number.
I'm currently sitting at the timer at 40 mins and take it the process wont go through as the reference number wasnt added in?
What happens next, I raise a ticket and hopefully will get my coins?

I don't think anyone's simply lost their money, even when they've made mistakes or banks have let them down.

Make sure you use the support system in your trade to let the seller know that you might have made a mistake. I'm sure it will work out just fine.

And now Bittylicious allows for payments with credit and debit cards.

Glad to hear it. I've used your service a few times and would much rather deal with debit cards than bank transfers, though I hope one day we don't need to use any cards at all.

Took me some time to upload all the documents until they were ok and verified but I think this is going to be one of my mayor sites to get BTC when I need them fast.

I'm glad you had a good experience with Bittylicious.

Extending the card acceptance thing, all altcoins on the Bittylicious platform can now be bought via credit/debit card (in EUR only still though).

Hi,

been using your site for the past few days now, and it seems to be a smooth process thus far.

I am concerned about the cost / commission I have to pay. Would be good to bring that down as mentioned by other posters.

Is it a fixed % or can sellers charge what they want?

A possible bug - the recommend friend via email button does not seem to do much....

Also - a wider question - what wallets are people generally using?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your comments.

You might want to read https://bittylicious.com/help/index.php/Why_do_Bitcoins_on_Bittylicious_cost_so_much%3F as it describes how the pricing works.

In a nutshell, for most payment methods, sellers dictate the price. It's been very cheap recently though, and generally hovering around 3-4% above Bitstamp. I don't think you'll find many sellers in the UK willing to drop a lot below that, especially considering the costs in getting money into Bitstamp (currency conversion and bank fees). Bittylicious sets its own prices for credit/debit cards and cash/ZipZap though.

Thanks for the bug report. Really that's an old feature from when Bittylicious was invite only. We might remove that, or might do a "refer-a-friend- type setup.

As for wallets, there's a wide variety. Some people use their own wallets on their own PCs (Multibit for example) but many use web wallets like HolyTransaction, Blockchain and GreenAddress.

I've been using this site for a while now.
I find it much easier and more reliable to use than other sites.
Thanks for the great service!

Bittylicious celebrates its second birthday today; it's been two years since this thread first started and Bittylicious started getting traction.

Many thanks to those on this thread and elsewhere who trusted us with their money during the early days and gave constructive feedback!

All the best,

Marc

What is the usual ETA on receiving the Amazon Gift Certificate when selling BTC?

Thanks

It's usually a matter of minutes, and rarely more than half an hour.

This only affects certain card payments. If you are attempting to use a non-3D Secure enabled card, then I'm afraid it's still a case of waiting because this PSP is still waiting for their bank to implement something.

If you want to use a 3D Secure card in EUR or GBP though, drop us a mail at support@bittylicious.com.

[Pathal2123]

Thank you for your quick reply.

how long will it takes? roughly

kind regards,
Patrick

I'm afraid there is no ETA. The PSP is waiting on their bank to implement something and they haven't been given an ETA from them. They are hopeful we're talking days rather than weeks though.
