I've just placed an order for the first time. I sent the required bitcoin to the vendor's order address but I'm wondering how the vendor knows the payment has come from me for the order when all I've done is send bitcoin to the vendor's crypto wallet. How does this action connect it to the order?

Hello! I am not sure if this is the best place to ask - but I will be going to Australia in August for 6 weeks to look after a friend who has recently been diagnosed with cancer, and wondered if we have any sellers that are based in Australia, or ship to Australia?

hi this is my first time here
so here's everything i got:
buy btc from paybis, transfer to own wallet, buy stuff, can use own name and address, oh and use a VPN
am i missing anything? thanks <3

buy btc from anywhere.
transfer to own wallet is optional
always correct name to match address
vpn/tor is optional

Im new here and to buying on here with bitcoin. So im going to use a vending machine in the uk, when it asks for the destination address, is that the address given by the seller upon payment? Anyone know the complete process of using an atm to buy on here? TIA

Hi sorry if this is nooby but this is my first time ordering here and just want to check couple things. I’ve sent btc to the address required and now my order says its paid, do we get any type of confirmation that sender has received payment and that order is dispatched or any confirmation? If so how long usually does this take

you will see your order marked as shipped, usually within 1 business day.
if your order is not received within 11 days use the dispute button that appears on your order page

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?

good exchange with low fees, quick - under 20 minutes - transaction, used 5+ times no problems 👍🏻

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...

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.

I found bittylicious to be very expensive. I bought £10.70 worth of bitcoin and was charged a total of £13.33 for it.

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.

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
Thanks

so after some messing about, I've got BTC in Kraken. Would you be so kind as to tell.me if I should send to LB direct from Kraken or transfer to another wallet first? I used revolut which you kindly suggested

Hi there. I made my fist ever purchase with paybis. Now it is declining g all transactions as I attempt to buy more bitcoin using either Google pay or my debit card. Please help. I've tried kraken as well but it is declining transactions from my bank.

those coins go directly into a wallet you choose, then send btc from that wallet to pay.

Hi, the payment processing keeps timing out, I have items in my cart, but the site keeps timing out when going to transaxe..... my order is also not generating any payment codes

If I hit pay how long do I have to fulfil the payment? If I pay the following day do I need a new bitcoin address for vendor or stick with original address from day before? Thanks

this should work but if there has been a change in the price of bitcoin the seller may cancel the order

It sounds easy so i will get on with my first order when wages go in at midnight and fingers crossed it goes smoothly :)

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

select your item and press pay after you enter your shipping details you will find the
- the orders unique bitcoin address
- the amount of btc required
from CEX send the required coins to the order address, again, you'll find this after you complete your order and press pay.
you will see your order marked as shipped, usually within 1 business day.

Just a quick question.. where will it say order marked as shipped, on this website or via the app used to buy an send the btc, thanks.

Oh it is mate. Some quality super trooper smoke on here. Even the shakes are quite potent. I was happy when I recieved my first order. Best feeling. Just expect some low strength on some products but you always find new strains and top vendors on here with those fire strains clean smoke. Hope it all goes well with your orders new guys. Bless

we always say start small, and go with a recently rated seller. if the seller is in your country your chance of a problem is near zero. if importing your chance of a failed delivery is 1-10% depending upon the restrictions and customs practices in your country.

Hi are you still around, I’ve tried sending some btc to pay for a order, I’m using coinbase and when I clicked send I had a message pop up saying disabled sends for your security, we have disabled sending crypto for 24 hours? We apply this delay to protect your account from suspicious activity bla bla bla? Cheers

Make sure if they ask for passport photo I'd just send it to them. Most coin exchanges need this. If you don't have passport not sure how you go about that. Check emails for I'd needed in your Gmail.

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)

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.

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

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

its not a big deal as many orders are made this way. but you can try this:
1 log out
2 find the order page in your browser history
3 login from here
in the meantime you can always message your seller, if the order doesn't show up in 10 days you can make a dispute using your order id or the bitcoin address you paid to

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

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?

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

*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

Best way to buy/send bitcoin download the app Zengo ; fast and easy sign up takes within 10 minutes youll be signed in and ur order will be placed no id needed can use apple wallet too , use my code for no fees on ur first 2 orders&20£ free bitcoin ZENEZV1P much cheaper than coinbase 2.50 to send (160£) vs 7£+ on coinbase also you can pay extra for instant sending on zengo which you can’t do on coinbase.

The advise here is terrible for security...
Often people only asking if an exchange is okay to send to, or a private wallet...
We've made a priceless guide here for LB users

I have downloaded Paybis, bought more bitcoin than I need for the transaction, but how do I pay for my order? It’s saying I have 2 items pending payment, and I only want one…. Help me please 🙏

I have solved my own problem 😊 for anyone else having a problem:- Whoever you buy your bitcoin with, download the Wallet. I thought it would be in the apple wallet, but No, Once you download it, it will show how much you have. Go to buying page and copy amount of bitcoin needed, then go to wallet and say you want to pay, repeat with sellers address and press send. 😊😊😊😊 Hope this helps someone

Dispute?

Dispute?
I want to dispute an order but I've reviewed it with 1/10. Can I still dispute or am I too late now because I reviewed it? Thanks 😊

You can dispute as normal. Tab appears on your order page from Day 9. If it’s a quality issue though remember that it is often subjective and you may not get a 100% refund. Have you discussed it with the vendor and tried to find a resolution?

I see you alot on here and your wise to the site so let me ask you a question...
Why has my original account been blocked from posting on topics such as these? And why have my most recent posts concerning a user who i think is a fraudulent user (vendor using account to update business as customer) been deleted also ?
I have no plus sign next to topic on my og account so I can't post on the wall.
Any ideas?

Your original account has been judged as ‘disruptive’ mate. Don’t take it too hard, I’ve had the same☺️…you are held in purgatory and may get algorithmic release sometime. Whether it’s actually the Algo that does these things or not I really don’t know 🤷♂️

The vendor is a magician and done a disappearing act and no reply 😆 where is the dis dispute button on the order page? Thanks 😊

‘Dispute’ in blue in the left hand margin appears after 9 days. Top of the page in small print shows the dispute time window. If vendor has buggered off your refund may be faster if fraud is suspected…👍

Yeah I see the dispute on my other orders but not this 1? The window is 24th today till Jan?

How long do refunds take
Could someone give me the head up on how long the average refund takes ?

You’ll get a message asking for a wallet address and once you provide this it’s normally with you in 2-3 days unless transaxe are under pressure..

From my experience 3-6 days but spamming my details couple times actually helped sometimes you send it and can’t find it

Placing an order
Have BTC in my Coinbase account & want to place an order. I don't have the mobile app so will have to send via Coinbase on the web. How would the seller know the payment has come from me?

Each order goes to a unique wallet address at Transaxe where it is held until it’s released to the seller. The vendor will get a message from Transaxe when your payment clears.

Any chance you the borgs can whitelist privnote?

Any chance you the borgs can whitelist privnote?
Not all sellers offer PGP encryption and I feel uncomfortable sending my personal information on here.
In the past, I have used privnote (https:// privnote. etc) to send my address, but the system now thinks I am conducting external transactions - "please do not use little biggy for external transactions, this results in reputation loss and expulsion"
Cheers!

Pending - Item Retention

Just got this tracking status for a package…
Anybody else had this before?
It says something like
“We’ve r received instructions not to deliver to the property your mail is addressed to. We will attempt delivery in line with the instructions we’ve been given which is usually the next day”
Several years of the post game, never seen this before.
Should I be worried? It’s not just a few grams.

I had it before on a Saturday. Think it just means they intended to post it today but something went wrong. Ie postie off work or parcel arrived after they’d departed. It will usually just be posted the following day. I think it’s something RM use in there system to bodge figures so it doesn’t show as a missed delivery

I can't see anywhere where I can cancel the dispute or say it is resolved and have it removed from my profile

If the dispute is still pending settlement click ‘resolve’ on the order page to cancel it. A settled or timed out dispute cannot be cancelled…

Some questions for an order with issues

Some questions for an order with issues
Hey! I have recently made a purchase from a seller and went through the ordering process as normal, address/payment etc. The order was then shipped out. After two days (today) I decided to ask for a tracking number and the seller promptly provided!
Upon receiving this tracking number I was surprised to see it was down as delivered. Checked my door, nothing. I then looked back on the tracking (that the seller provided me) and upon pressing 'map of delivery' I could tell immediately the package was sent to the wrong address.
Royal Mail provide GPS coordinates from where the package was scanned, and upon checking where it led on Gmaps I found that it has been sent to a house on a road with the same name as mine, however a different postcode. I know that I didn't make this mistake upon ordering as I made other orders at the same time and they all arrived.
I then messaged the seller and was (expectedly) hit with a reply calling me a scammer and due to my account age. I've been a longtime lurker and only just started ordering recently and I can see where the seller is coming from, it doesn't look great on my end.
I have tried to explain that the tracking number that the seller gave me is essentially proof that it didn't arrive at my address. They said they keep a log of postcodes and orders for this kinda thing and I asked to see which postcode they had down to me but have been met with profanity and now silence.
Realistically I know I will most likely have to dispute this, I'm just wondering how I should approach this? Is there any recommended way to go forward (once I can dispute)? And has anyone had a similar situation at all?
Thank you!
edit: Forgot to mention, by using the royal mail chatbot I was also able to check if the package with the tracking number I was given arrived at my postcode to which it replied that it did not.

So if I understand this- the suggestion is that the vendor put the wrong postcode by mistake yeah?…but what are the odds that a randomly wrong postcode would have the same road name as yours?🤯
That sounds more like an RM error to me. The vendor should hold off on the accusations and confirm the postcode they sent it to. But they may not have done anything wrong…

GenHub!! 😍💥😍….You funky cats!- when are you coming back to us with a bit of fun and mischief?!💥😱😂👍

Yes! It seems to of simply been posted to a different address (with the same street name) that's like 15+ miles from my actual address. Same city different borough. I didn't actually know that this existed myself until today.
But I totally agree here.. I can't blame anyone specifically, so I didn't really approach the situation with any confrontation towards the seller and was polite as. But I was immediately assumed to be malicious? I was also completely blindsided. I was pretty caught off guard with the response I got to be honest - getting swore at, called a scammer and then ignored - All because I recently made an account? I was more or less aiming to figure it out without going down the dispute path.
When I asked the royal mail helpbot if the tracking number provided matched up with my postal code I was given the following response: 'I'm sorry the postcode we hold doesn't match what you've provided. Did you arrange for this item to be sent to an alternative address...'

I didn't mention but I agree it could be a royal mail issue completely - The lack of help and immediate conclusion of me being a scammer from a big seller though... Not nice to see and without having being given any more information from the seller (which they told me they have) I can only make assumptions with what I have.

This happens alot. Grab the postie by the scruff of the neck and get him to lift ur parcel or man up and go and collect it. Something tells me that the house holder will notice it’s not for them and won’t open it & probably waiting for you anyway!!

Not a bad idea to be honest.. only given the contents I don't really wanna go to the address and risk them having potentially opened it - I'll comm with RM more tomorrow during working hours (also the house is like a good 30+ mins away other side of the city)

Update: Have spoken to the seller and cleared things up! Will update when I receive the resend (thank you again!)

Final update:
Received my resend today! Nothing but happy 🙂. Thank you very much Mr seller (you know who you are)
And thank you to everyone for sharing some knowledge with a new bigga!

Sounds really annoying. Waiting, and praying, for orders to arrive safely is easily the most frustrating part of this otherwise wonderful website. I'd be gutted if something like that happened to me.
It is possible it was always destined for your house, but RM sorted it incorrectly. I live in a block of flats and, occassionally, I will get mail from the equivalent address from a similarly-named nearby building. Not as extreme of an example, but it happens.
To be honest, it is in sellers best interests to work with customers on stuff like this. Both for good PRs sake, and it being simply good business sense to work these problems out so they don't affect future customers.
Maybe go back and apologize you came across as accusing them? They might be more reciprocal to someone saying 'I genuinely think something has gone wrong somewhere, and would be grateful if we could get to the bottom of why it happened' over 'you made a mistake'.
If it comes to a dispute, you should have proof of (a) other orders that arrived with the same details, (b) the parcel was sent to a wrong address, and (c) DMs showing that the seller refused to help via informal channels. Should be fairly slam dunk, but I don't have direct experience with the dispute process myself.

Firstly thank you very much for your response!
I do definitely agree that royal mail COULD be to blame. I only say could because I've never had this issue before in the decade of living here... I think it's possible the first line of my address was copy pasted (the number and street) and then maybe the seller hit enter on the royal mail website to buy online postage? But to be honest I don't know for sure. It's all speculation.
To be honest I feel like an apology wouldn't be needed from my side - I did approach normally and just simply said it didn't arrive at my address. Last message I received ended with: 'Mate... I do 40+ deliveries a week. You really think I haven't seen this con before? 😂' - Lovely.
I do agree I have now realised with more time I have enough evidence to win the dispute if it comes to it but I really didn't wanna have to go down that route. I'll keep you guys updated with the situation maybe the seller just went off for the day. I'll always give benefit of the doubt and I don't even blame them for their response because I can understand why they'd see it like that - Hence no name etc

I do have proof of my actual address (other stuff that's arrived) and proof that the tracking number provided didn't arrive to this address so that should be sufficient with the lack of comms.. Sucks to be called a liar though to be honest

Auto Settlement Borg doesn’t collate evidence. It’s an Algo that pays % refund based on ‘reputation’….

You are certainly unlucky…those sort of RM fuck ups with tracked mail must be rare.
When you open the dispute it creates a 16 day window for you to try and resolve it with the vendor. After that the Algo settles it. Who is at fault here?…in some ways we have to share the risk of post?…the Algo will give you a % pay out. No way of knowing what % in advance…

I do really feel like I won the unlucky lottery... and that's true - I can determine where it went wrong with RM as their CS is pretty good but in terms of anything that would be usable in a dispute I am unsure.
That sure seems like a strange way to do disputes... I mean I guess it's fair since it's non-human but without considering evidence and stuff it's definitely not great..
Hoping the seller is a bit nicer the next time we talk
edit: After re-reading the above statement I was reminded - the seller thinks I'm trying to scam them which might be why I got the harsh response - Maybe they'd help if they didn't think that? But it's proving hard to convince them especially since the radio silence :(

Try communication. Vendors are on the backfoot a little bit because of the events on here over the last month or so. Everyone is a bit on high alert. DM me if you are new and want details.

Bud,
Can't you go to your order and still check the address you gave? or has it cleared already?
I had a similar yet more positive outcome.
I was waiting on a delivery, which didn't come as expected, was given tracking which I observed and waited to see delivery, a day later it said delivered, but like you I saw no package.
I checked the signature given for the delivery and it was StarSky, and I thought I had been scammed, but it was a vendor with impeccable scores. so I messaged him/her and they were also confused, an hour later it came through the door. without sig.
Very weird but I got it, don't know who signed for it.

order paid on transaxe page, but...
My order is showing as paid on the transaxe page - 3 confirmations on blockchain so far - but I'm still being prompted to pay the remainder on my order page. When i click on 'pay remainder' it takes me back to the transaxe page that tells me it's all paid! Very confused! Any ideas?

sometimes it's a confirmation issue ... u might need to txt transaxe if it does not clear itself... if u do txt, put ur purchase no. in title for swifter reply

Tobacco..ya or nay?
Hey peeps, was just wondering if any fellow Biggas mix thier flowers with tobacco?. I used to all the time but tbh with the prices of a pouch of baccy where im at being what they are.. I have been contemplating trying to get off the brown 😅 as a friend calls it lol.
Anyway do you guys n gals mix your flowers if so anyone know any cheaper alternatives to tobacco?..
(or yk..cough cough perhaps know a guy who knows a guy like the gd ol duty free days then feel free to give me a pm 🤣👍).

You only realise how totally rancid tobacco is once you've stopped smoking it. Never again. I only vape or take edibles.

Weird thing about smoking for me was I never aged a day from being a kid until I quit then suddenly I woke up looking like a 40 year old man lmao but I've definitely felt the difference breathing/health wise and I didn't expect to as I'd never noticed how much it was effecting me until I stopped! None of those punctuation joints means weed consumption has come down a little bit too but I'm still getting just as stoned and well medicated :) Been about 2 years for me now, would 100% recommend cutting it out.

I loved tobacco and tobacco joints but gave up this year as I'm not getting any younger,still miss it but just dry herb vape my bud now,much better taste wise and it goes along further compared to joints,now if I smoke anything even blunts it taste like shit,show how bad smoke is once your off it


Neigh 🐴 😂
I smoke pure but know a few people who mix with the Professor Herb Pouches. They use the Original one rather than the flavoured so it doesn’t mess with the terps of your weed.
It’s basically cbd flower and leaf ground up in a pouch. 👍

massive no from me, even for the "organic natural" stuff. its the nicotine thats the problem. I've seen a lot of people get addicted to it and end up smoking loads more weed because they smoke spliffs or blunts whenever they need their nicotine fix.
i've heard of people using blue lotus or damiana as an alternative. Never tried it myself, i prefer to just dry herb vape straight bud

Yay to organic rolling tobacco, 'american spirit' is just the right dryness too, tho a little pricey.
And silver rizzla.
Nay to regular cancer causing tobacco with all the delicious additives.

Organic on Amazon is quite cheap, and goes a long way.

I'll give it a look 👀 as I did smoke something that was like that over in dam a few years back. Wasn't too shabby tbh 🤷.

Duty free available down here, £17.50 on 50g, but LOTS of fake bacca around which may be pretty noxious!

Yup that's the issue m8 😅 gone are the days where you could just pop into your local and under their breath getting told the real prices 😭..now its full of counterfeit garbage 🤮.

Order Vanished from site?
Mornin’
I just placed a small order on here, the BTC has been confirmed sent to the transaxe address, but when I’ve logged back on here the whole order is gone? A bit worried as now I have no idea if it’s even gone to the seller in question
Is this a minor/common issue or has something gone wrong?
Cheers

Were you logged in when you placed the order originally?
Message the vendor to check if they can see the order…👍

I think I was, but admittedly I thought you had to be to place an order, so maybe I wasn’t 🫠 messaged the seller directly already, so fingers crossed everything’s alright and I just made a mistake!

Yeah, you don’t need to be logged in, some Biggas prefer the anonymity. Your order will go through the same but you won’t be able to see it, review it or dispute it….but you will get it! 🙃

Noted for the future! Only my second try of this system, but it’s the same seller as first order so fingers crossed all goes well, thanks for the clarity mate!

Delivery options

Delivery options
Hi guys, I’m a noob in need of some help. I’m looking to place my first order and was wondering if there’s different options available when it comes to delivery? I see most of the items have special next day delivery which is great but usually requires a signature on arrival and I won’t be available during the day, is there a standard delivery option or one that won’t require a signature when delivered? Help would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

If in doubt message the vendor before you order and see what they can do. The Green Team do free postage which doesn’t require a signature.

Hey buddy! We offer ND Special delivery to make sure that we can track and guarantee delivery for our clients. As you said it does require a signature but if they try and youre not in, you can go onto the Royal Mail website and enter the reference number to select a different method to collect (either redelivery on a specific day or collect from the distribution centre).
For us, we want to make sure buyers are protected and there is no doubt that the package was sent and ALSO to get to them pronto :-) Hope that helps bud

Thanks for the help guys! Another quick question if you don’t mind, do I select a delivery option during the order process or do I just have to find the one I’m looking for listed next to the item?

Hey, you select your shipping once its in your cart, most vendors state their shipping options at the top of their page in the Manifesto.
Its a bit like the wild west here at the minute so make sure youre using a VPN and read plenty of reviews to make sure youre using a trusted vendor.
Welcome to LB.

Fairly new to LB as well - I always use a VPN just in case, out of paranoia, but how come it's best practice to use it at the moment in particular, with LB? Like what does it prevent in this case? ISP snooping on your traffic? Just curious.

Hi👋
Vendors offer either a single delivery option shown next to the item or a range of delivery options to select once you have put the item in your cart. If the vendor doesn’t show the option you prefer it’s still worth messaging them to discuss if possible 👍

Delivery

Delivery
Hey everybody,
Unfortunately, I dont have a permanent address as of recently, and I wanted to know what my options are for getting deliveries. I know PO boxes can help with this, and Im planning on getting one, but I wanted to see if there was any cheaper options before I spent the money. I was hoping itd be possible to get stuff delivered to my local PO and then I could just go and collect it, like you can do on Amazon with Local Collect. Has anyone else done this? Is it even possible? Or am I being stupid lol.
If anyone has any better ideas, solutions or similiar experiences Id really appreciate the help.
Thank you! Bless 🙏

Sure👍….just Google ‘Royal Mail- Poste Restante’- it’s one of the oldest global mail collection systems going. You can check on the site for your nearest post office in the scheme and gives you the address to use….

I'm in same boat, for 10 years, but luckily I have someone who will take my post sometimes.
I've looked Into Poste Restante, but you are likely to need ID showing your home address.
The plan that I came up with was to find a seller who would give you tracking on day of sending without fail, use bogus address close by, and use said tracking to change delivery to pickup from PO as I'm 99% sure you could just use a passport.

Poste Restante is for when you don’t have a home address. You just need to show proof of name, a passport is 100% fine as it’s designed for travellers but to be honest I’ve rarely been asked for that. How else would you know there was post there unless it was you?…there would be little point of going in and spouting off random names 😜…but yeah they should ask for ID…passport works👍

Just double checked. If you are a UK resident, you need to provide proof of address.
Because you're only allowed to use that service in the area you are travelling in, that would be no good for me, as my driving licence shows the same geographic area I'd want my post sent to.
I've lived on the road for a long time, this address thing is a total nightmare.

Mate, it might say all that on the website (never looked in many decades!) but it’s honestly not the way it works- you can absolutely use it as a simple post pick up …just say ‘I’m travelling…

Thanks Polly, that would be very useful going forward, as it's an arse sometimes having to do a 120 mile round trip to pick up packages ;)
I shall try this out.....
I shall try this out.....

Yeah do, and seriously if it is any hassle do let us know- I admit I personally haven’t used it for a while but no one I’ve recommended it to has ever come back and called me a dick- hope you’re not the first!🫣

order saying unpaid
i put in an order 4 hours ago, it's definitely been sent from my wallet, but on my orders it's still saying unpaid and prompting me to pay the remainder. i placed the order on society using cryptonic cause i couldn't get dot com to load. did i fuck something up?

Find the transaction ID from what you've sent from your wallet, and if clicking on that doesn't take you the mempool address that BBDoom has linked directly (some wallets do, some don't), then cut and paste that into the search bar of that Mempool address and it should give you a rough ETA for the transaction. It can be wildly wrong though, telling you it'll be 20 minutes and then it actually takes hours.

^^
Enter the address you sent it to here, or the address from which it was sent, and you can see if it's been confirmed yet.

when i enter the address i sent it to, it shows 0 received, and when i enter the address i sent it from it doesn't show all of my outgoings from that address (there's one from september that's missing). i am also just really stupid with crypto tho

https://www.blockchain.com/explorer
^^
What you need is the transaction ID.
Go here, same kinda site but a little easier, enter the address you sent it from and you should see the transaction at top of list.
Click on the Transaction 'ID' link and it should tell you confirmed or not.
Once you have the transaction ID you can go to the first site i linked, enter the ID and it'll tell you how long it's gonna take.

ah shit, it's somehow gone to a different wallet even though i was just copy/pasting what was on the cryptonic page. is there a process for rectifying this or is it lost now?

If you've sent it to a transaxe address, an address from a previous order for example, you can contact transaxe support.
transaxe addresses usually begin with bc1q...

I scored half a brick of hash and all arrived ok. Problem is the gear has been washed and is unsmokeable, it really is foul! So I’m down £300, got nothing to smoke and have a bag of shite that I’m gonna need to throw out. Is there any procedure on here I can use to right this wrong? I approached the vendor but predictably was met with denials, obfuscation, lies and refusals

Quality is subjective but as BB says- you can still raise a dispute (the tab appears on your order page on day 9).
Most disputes are resolved between parties before auto settlement (you can click to cancel the dispute if this happens).
However “ denials, obfuscation, lies and refusals” suggests that any negotiation is not going well! You should (politely) make it clear what you require to resolve the dispute.
If you cannot agree then at a set time auto settlement Borg will settle based on reputation. This is largely the length of time on here, number of orders, disputes etc vs the vendor. You can expect a % refund but it’s not unheard of for this to be 0%. You’ve been here a couple of years so I would think that unlikely.
If the product is as bad as you say it would be useful for us all that you share pictures and descriptions on this board. In fact, when you dispute you will see a message from the Borg requesting you leave a full product review.
Good luck👍

Thank you for your guidance, I shall post more info and raise a dispute when the Borg allows

Ok, guy said he’d refund if I sent it back and then just went silent for the last two weeks… this is MadMick92, he’s pulled the garbage hash and is just selling RSO, he’s a petty crook and needs to be removed from LB. I sent it back after a refund was promised and to date have received no refund or further communication… I got done by this mofo

You can dispute the order after 9 days (I think it's 9...someone else can confirm).
Pics and more info always helps the community.
You've done the right thing by contacting the vendor for a solution first, if you feel you're not getting anywhere via direct communications then you're well within your rights to open a dispute.
I hope it all works out for you.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Uk banks blocking bitcoin
I've really been enjoying little bigg so so convenient but uk banks have been putting blocks on buying crypto +bitcoin so I'm not able to buy what I want when I want. Someone pls help or if you have found the same thing, as I don't want to have to go back to street vendors in the peek of winter.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Sign up for the online bank Revolut and do it through there, UK Banks are Nazi cunts telling us what we can and cant spend our own money on.

Nazi as in National Socialist yes. I don't share Farrage's weird world view BUT he doesn't advocate undemocratic methods (unlike Labour, SWP, Respect etc) so has the same rights to banking and free speech as the rest of us

I tried several times to pay through Revolut using bitcoin but it keeps 'failing' standard message says the reason is that if an account is 'flagged' it will not process .. argh .. I will keep trying .. it has been problematic before .. any advice welcome .. thanks

all I've been getting recently is card declines from them, then you gotta find another cryptosite and do all the 2FA super-passcoded bullshit all over again. tempted to ring them and just let them know everything is ok, got asked to call fraud line or something.

don't even need to change banks just buy bitcoin with paypal instead I use coinbase and Lloyds but i could switch to paypal if this happens to me

I buy into Coinbase via PayPal. The bank transaction shows PayPal and not Coinbase. Whether that helps or not I don’t know but I prefer it 🤷🏻♂️

thanks, I was playing with it last night as my bank has now cut out crypto. So you can buy/sell crypto in the UK but can't send it to anyone or buy anything with it. I was able to pay for LB products via Coinbase by using Paypal as the payment option, so no need to buy the citcoin in advance on paypal

yeah bro it's one of them hidden gem things, makes it alot easier not sure if u can still use paypal, but haven't tried as lloyds good w me

Don’t buy it direct from bank card just transfer what you need to a Coinbase account it’s an account number and sort code with your name on it then buy bit coin from that Coinbase account works for me everytime never any issues and hardley any fees few £ on like 200 change up

Hey buddy, I do this. But i worked something else out that saves any fees at all.
Buy usdc stablecoin with the fiat you transfer. No fee to buy, and you can then convert to bitcoin via exchange with no fees. You only end up paying the transaction fee. I don't know where else you can essentially buy bitcoin with zero fees!

Leaving whatever bank your with and telling them why may be the answer.Hit them where it hurts, right in the money

Someone below mentioned Coinbase and Paypal earlier and I had to use that option today. Santander have blocked crypto but with Coinbase there is an option to change the way you pay as long as you have a paypal account linked to the Coinbase account. Only spelling this out as there must be others like me that can't be arsed with crypto but have no choice but to know how to use it

I use Scamtander and occasionally have to call them to verify the transaction but they always allow it. Aside from websites like LB i also buy Porsche parts from breakers in Germany and US who accept BTC only and those transactions can be 1000s, Scamtander are more likely to stop the smallers one on LB or Hydra, Wall St etc

A few of the big banks here in the UK are completely unfreindly to bitcoin and I've found Lloyds to be the worst.
for me then, I just opened a Monzo account and I've set up a standing order each month to shift my 'spending money' (£500) to Monzo as soon as I'm paid.
Monzo is completely crypto friendly, so you can buy the bitcoin you need with no issues from that account.
I used to regularly be locked out of my lloyds bank account and spend hours getting it unlocked, just cause I bought crypto. Now I use Monzo I've never had an issue.

im in the same boat my bank dosnt let me buy crypto even tho i was told on the phone today from the bank its not so i have tryed 3 diffrent sites and everyone the same no go

Lloyds kept blocking my card to Bitpanda (🍆) but transfers go through no problem, very fast, no charges👍…twats!

I am Lloyd's but I use coinbase. Linked my card up to it. Minimal fees. Works for me? Is this an OK way to do it?

I guess. I use bitpanda but have never linked a card to it. Direct transfer works best for me, is quick and incurs no fees to load wallet…

Sorry for silly question. But do you mean no fees, like to buy bitcoin or then send your bitcoin? All free?

Nah, unfortunately we all pay to send- that’s the miners blockchain fee!…it’s the big thing that has stopped btc being a true currency- who wants to pay a floating fee every time they buy something?! 🤔
