First, read the seller's guide in the SR wiki.

Then, create a SR account and click "account" then "become a seller".

Then come back here and give out free samples. :D

It's highly recommended to set up an account that is separate from an account you have made purchases from.

Okay...I'm lost already...

I read the wiki but it doesn't say anything about how to open a seller account...do I have to open a separate account...like I did when I first joined...?


You have to register a new account at the SR market place.

Log in, and click "account" at the top of the screen.
Then click "become a seller" at the side of the screen.

And yes, as badmanselecta says, your seller's account should be separate from your buyer's account. For obvious security reasons.

Woaaaaah, hold up there.. You want to start vending but you don't know anything about how to buy Bitcoin anonymously??! How do you plan on anonymously cashing out your Bitcoin to re-up & take your profit, which is SIGNIFICANTLY harder? Have you done any research at all in the Security and Shipping forums?! Do you know how to use PGP?? ???

When you become a vendor you're responsible not only for your own security, but the security of all your customers as well. I really think you need to slow it down a bit, do your research, read the forums and general Bitcoin info for a number of weeks, and then perhaps consider vending once you have the necessary knowledge to do so safely.

gumislav, it is not my intent to offend you but you are really, really not ready for this. All Bitcoin transactions are recorded in the blockchain - it's not simply a matter of transferring them from one account to another and they're suddenly unlinkable. Before you start vending you NEED to know the ins-and-outs of EVERYTHING. Please read the Security and Shipping forums at the very least before you even consider vending.

And we are very glad to have to have you, gumislav! This is an amazing community, and incredibly knowledgeable to boot! Do your research in the main forums, and once you get up to 50 posts here you can post over there with any questions you might need an answer to.

Your anarchist and anti-state beliefs will be well nurtured here; welcome home.  :)

Best of luck with the research, and with the vendor account when you get to it!
