Some basic questions about buying

I was wondering what the advantages of using Monero are vs. just using an Electrum BTC wallet to pay? Is it required or just advised?

Also, do small orders tend to get ignored/delayed? I was hoping to build some trust with a vendor before placing a larger order.

Lastly, you guys have any advice for a newbee? Any tips for what to watch out for or any help in general would be appreciated.

Thanks

Youre going to waste sooo much money using BTC, you want to use Monero for that reason alone (not too mention the added bonus of anonymity).

Bitcoin fees are insane these days, that's why people start to try other cryptocurrencies.. To start in the good way : /r/DarkMarketNoobs

I can’t speak much for the currency part but will give you one of the most, if not most important, tip for all this. That is: take your time to learn about using and practicing good security measures. Use tails and TOR, always encrypt things YOURSELF (don’t have the market encrypt for you), don’t tell anyone where you’re ordering from, keep additional/solid layers moving/using cryptocurrencies, don’t use strange or fake names for shipping address (use your own real name or find a drop), throughly research your vendors, and trust your gut. It all takes extra time, effort, and learning but your freedom is not something to be cheap, lazy, or skimpy with.
