All online transactions are protected by the trusted third party. When a transaction is initiated, the amount of bitcoins for the transaction is automatically reserved in the seller's bitcoin wallet.
In other words, if the seller disappears with your money and does not release your bitcoins, LocalBitcoins.com support can release the funds of the Trusted Third Party for you. If you are selling bitcoins, never release funds from the Trusted Third Party until you receive the money from the buyer.
Can I buy less than 1 bitcoin?
Absolutely! In each offer, you can see what's called limits. These show you the smallest and largest amount of bitcoins you can buy in this offer.
Bitcoin can be divided into much smaller amounts. The smallest amount is called a satoshi and is equivalent to 0.00000001 BTC.
Transactions between LocalBitcoins users are instant.
Transactions that you send from your LocalBitcoins wallet are sent with high priority fees to guarantee their confirmation within around 30 minutes
