Bittylicious turns five years old. There are some interesting stats contained in this blog post -

And our vital statistics for the last year, 22nd May 2017 – 21st May 2018:

220,000 trades completed.
£99 million traded.
67,000 new user sign ups.
150,000 pieces of documentation verified.

 
Which is impressive for a not hugely known site in one of the lesser crypto markets.

I have been using Bittylicious for over a year now. I dont buy bitcoins/litecoins from any other source as I am now very comfortable with the proceedure. I know I can source alittle cheaper with some searching but for me the peace of mind of receiving the coins outweighs the slightly higher fee. So a pat on the back and a thumbs up for Bittylicious.

I only wish I could buy a bitcoin for £72 as stated at the beginning of this thread!

Went to buy about £10 worth of BTC using Pingit, front screen says you can buy a minimum of 0.0018BTC input all my details, clicked buy, said I must buy a minimum of 0.18BTC ?? IE over £100,  Plus, there's a 15% price difference between a bank transfer and a Pingit transaction.

 Cry

Bank fraud is becoming more commonplace and as such, many brokers have increased their minimum amounts for users that are not verified. If you verify your ID, you will have access to a lot more offers, and (counter-intuitively) a decreased minimum spend.

PingIt is also a lot less popular than bank transfer, and thus has fewer brokers placing offers for this and the price is generally higher.

Used Bittylicious about 6 times now, very fast. And also easy to use as I'm still not the best dealing with BTC ! Thanks for the transaction today, had to be manual investigation though as I put the sellers name instead of my own, oops

Thanks so much for that feedback. I'm glad you found the process smooth and that it was handled OK even though the manual investigation was initiated! It happens a fair bit, but thankfully usually doesn't cause too many issues.

Just want to say I was sceptical on using Bittylicious until I read some comments on here , Just purchased .2 BTC and well i think within literally 5 Mins I have got the BTC pending in my Wallet. A service I shall use again in the future for sure! And it is literally the first BTC I have ever owned !

Thanks so much for that! It's always really great when a new Bitcoin user has a positive experience on their first purchase!

how long will it takes? roughly
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.

Thanks for the update..
Much appreciated

when are we able to buy again?
Could not set up trade: Temporary error: {"status":"Maintenance"} Please try again later

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 [email protected].

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

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

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

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 now offers credit card purchases for British Pounds. Happy days.

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.
