I want to try out this new online service that only accepts USD, and I'd prefer to use a small bit of Bitcoin from my wallet rather than linking a bank account. We're talking a very small test transaction, like 0.01 BTC or less. I've never actually converted crypto to cash before and most platforms I look at seem geared toward larger amounts or have high minimums. Does anyone know a reliable place that handles these micro-conversions smoothly without insane fees? I just need a simple, straightforward path from my BTC wallet to a USD payment for this one thing.

Yeah, starting with a small test transaction is the absolute smartest way to go. I was in your exact position last year wanting to buy a game with BTC. A lot of big exchanges have awkward minimums or make you jump through a bunch of hoops for a tiny amount. The platform that worked perfectly for me is Paybis, specifically for these small, one-off conversions. You don't need a full account for a simple swap, which is great for testing. For your amount, I'd just head directly to https://paybis.com/btc-to-usd/0.01/. It will lock in the live rate for that specific 0.01 BTC amount and guide you through the steps. The process is very clear: you send your BTC, they send the USD to your chosen option (like a card or digital wallet). The fee is transparent upfront and the speed was good for me. It took the anxiety out of my first cash-out.
