Topic: [ANN] Purse.io - Bitcoin Amazon Marketplace - Save ~10-25% on Amazon Wishlist (Read 99276 times)

Finally can anyone write what's happening around them? Hqs anyone used them recently with success? Seems owner no longer cares on bitcointalk's ANN thread so trust may be nothing for them and if anything happens, creating scam accusation thread against them will be nonsense.
Can I trust purse.io or not? There are very mixed reviews in overall.

Purse blocked account of my friend and four weeks of communication didn't help. Reason - strange account activity. Will update the results, but atm I do not recommend Purse.io

I've been avoiding this service due to US capital gains law.  However, you can either 1) use a currency you aren't holding for the long term  (does Purse support LTC yet?)  or 2) use specific lots  (accounting method) and that should mean that you aren't making massive capital gains or losses.

That said - using specific lots account method is a pain if you are doing it manually.  My spreadsheet is out of control!

hello i am available for translations please contact me @backobtc

Forgive me for raising the topic from the dead but I just want to share my story in every possible thread regarding purse.io that exists out there

basically, I (the seller) got scammed for 2.1 BTC at the time 9600 usd today over 16000 usd by the buyer Franko_Prime on their platform.
long story short- I have sold an ASIC unit there , for the first time in my life i signed up for that website and used their services. the buyer had over 61 reviews and claimed that I have sent the wrong item. A claim has been opened where i provided a whatsapp chat where the buyer admits that he has released the money and now its just purse that is holding it- a lie of course. also the tracking label  showed 2 boxes ( the asic and the PSU ) of a total weight of 8.5 KG where the buyer has taken a fake image of one not original box with a bunch of fans... if one uses his brains for just a second he would see that these fans can never weigh 8.5KG and that its only 1 box and not two.
They said that my evidence is not enough and have sided with the buyer. which has only provided a fake image which theoretically everybody can do.
I have sent them The below shown message, to several representatives after they have sided with the buyer, nobody cared enough to reply. I am now suing their asses.



Dear purse team,
Recently I have sold an L3+ bitmain asic unit for a price of 2.17795041 BTC to the member Franko_Prime on your platform Purse.io. this transaction ended up in me losing the asic unit, the electricity spent on during the time I mined for him while waiting to ship it to him and the BTC then transferred to him for that mining, and last but not least the above described BTC mount which in the current time of writing, is equal to 12,416.9090 USD according to coinmarketcap.com excluding your fees.
Your conducted escrow’s investigation on the matter of the opened case is at the least entirely amateurish and at the most criminal. The shopper Franko_Prime did not provide any solid evidence to back his claims that I am scamming him except a random made picture that does not coincide with any of the proof I have provided.
1. The DHL shipping label shows that 2 packages have been sent, while Franko_Prime shows only one in his fake picture.
2. The DHL shipping label shows a total weight of 8.5 KG for both packages, while what is seen on the image are a bunch of fans which clearly have a substantially lower weight.
3. The package shown on the image is not the same package as was shipped to him.
I demand to know based on which evidence from him, have you decided to rule in his favor. Needless to say that in the same way he could have simply taken an image of a package full with sand and presented it to you as evidence.
I have provided you with a DETAILED whatsapp conversation that shows in the last couple of lines of it that he said that he has already released the payment! On which I replied that there is still nothing at my balance, to which he replied that it takes time for purse to release the payment and when I was starting to get impatient with him, he opened a case. I have also provided a detailed DHL shipping label/invoice, I offered to contact DHL and ask for the exact dimensions of the shipping boxes so that it can be compared to his fake image and lastly I even sent you a message saying I am willing to undergo a liar detector test.
This should have all been enough evidence, but you messaged me saying that the evidence was not enough and ruled in his favor. Now I ask you again, what proof does he have? If you needed some more proof for me why not simply ask me? What is this hasty and unprofessional behavior on your side with taking 2.17795041 BTC away from me without a substantial investigation? Is it always the case when a highly rated user opens a case against a new user on your platform that you side with the former without conducting a thorough investigation?
I demand to see the proof provided by him that has caused you to rule the way you have. I also demand to be compensated for the FULL amount that I have lost due to your irresponsibility. If my demands will not be met I will take legal action against you and will not refrain from taking this case on various social networks such as facebook,twitter, bitcointalk and more. Also I will gather more information from users that have experienced the same amateurish and potentially illegal service from you and will consider filing a class action against you.
Also, I wonder how come I cannot access this on my previous Orders to be able and see the conversation fully.



bottom line. AVOID LIKE FIRE

Get this message on email. But site dont work, how i can update it?!

heard that purse will adding ZCash

The issue is fixed prices can hurt one or the other... volatility is just part of cryptos for now (as more money flows in, it will fluctuate less. But it will be a while before that happens). Freezing the price, though, hurts buyers when it goes up and sellers when it goes down.

Sometimes script gives error when you try to purchase items  on wishlist. Last month i purchased 2 good quality earphones, case for my phone and usb cable for my tablet. You deducted 10% from total amount which maked it totally affordable. I dont know if you have other alternative cryptocurrenices but it should be on site for alternative  purchasing methods. Nowadays bitcoin price is high and customer doesnt want to lose money from volatile exchange rates.I suggest you should apply fixed rates at least for wishlist. This feature will make puchasing process most easily and customer shouldnt want to giveaway this feature.Thanks for this kind of service

I've used this service and I must say it's a really nice way to purchase bitcoin with your amazon giftcard balance. When the package arrived I received my bitcoin in less than an hour. I recommend this site!

How are new sellers supposed to get on here without selling at a loss for a significant period of time?

Let's see.I used their service for the first time

They decided to ban my purse account for no reason, no email and no warning. When i started a live chat from another account the guy who talked to me said "Your account has been closed as it has been linked to other closed accounts with insufficient balances." Other accounts? Insufficient balance? I have done over 27 orders and had this account for 6 months and suddenly they decide i have multiple accounts and "insufficient balances" which i don't yet understand what the hell it means.
I sent him more messages wanting more explanation and he just ignored the messages (it said seen). I have also made a new dummy account just to see if hes actually online and he replied to the dummy account. I have also sent an email 2 days ago and no reply. There is an ongoing order on my account for a user supposedly paying me $300 BTC, looks like purse staff needed some money so they decided to rob a customer off.

I don't recommend anyone dealing with them.

Also adding that i started another chat with another customer rep called "Stacey", she sent me the same exact message and when i asked for more explanation she was typing (the 3 dots rolling animation) and then cancelled what shes typing and ignored me for 5 hours while she was active (last active 15 mins ago)

Update: Eduardo (the support rep) just banned the account i was using to contact him when he had no explanation or proof for my ban.
He is also this member in bitcointalk https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/mookid-66209

I had no issues using it 4-5 times this Christmas season. 15% off each time, orders filled within the first day.

I do not know about the current situation of the purse.io as now I am not shopping on there but in the start it was much nice site and the support was also much nice and efficient. But now I think there is any issue to the staff or admin. I think they are not getting the profit that is why they leaved to work for their project.

The owner no longer gives a shit about it or his corrupt staff. His last login here is since 28 days.

I've been pondering using this service for a long time but I think I'm going to pull the trigger on using it soon.

Got a good amount of items to buy and hoping to save around 10 percent on everything.

I hope that your issue be solved at here but the issue of support is not alone with you there are a lot of people complaining against the services of purse. That is why now I am using shopawl for shopping online for my bitcoins.

It will be beneficial for them to improve their support system to give success to their service.

I don't recommend anyone dealing with them.

This is a site with great ideas but filled with users who messed up the concept.

Look, some sellers' wish list requires you to ship to phillipines and even south africa.

Who in the right mind will buy from them? The shipping fees (from U.S to those countries) are very expensive!
