Is there a way to keep the order private, so that I just fund it later and publish it?

Your order will only be published when enough funds are in your account. Though when you have a couple orders that are funded and waiting to be bought and another order you will hide, but there would be enough funds in your account, then there is no way to hide it.

The only solution would be to safe your wishlist and make notes about shipping costs and vat. Then you can create the order fast.

Thought I would share my first (and last) experience using purse to buy bitcoin with you all.

Their escrow system to protect the bitcoin buyers lacks competent human input, common sense and seems to rely 99% on some sort of learning algo to make their decisions for them.

It has taken me 3days of emailing them (they respond in 24hour intervals) with proof of delivery to get Purse support to just ask the bitcoin seller whether he had receieved the giftcard. I believe they only asked him because I kept pushing and threaten to do a chargeback.

Here is a screenshot of the emails: http://i.imgur.com/7HGSu07.png

Make your own mind up but be ready to be treated guilty and pretty much ignored until you push to prove yourself innocent

I wonder why Purse does know those Amazon orders were cancelled?

Does anyone here know if a seller can pick a secondary vendor to avoid sales tax.

No. I asked support. It is an Amazon wishlist issue not Purse.

Purse didnt allow me to contact MrLehmann, a buyer i used on amazon.de. They disabled support for amazon.de and wont enable it but still they dont let me contact him. I liked his service and would still use him.

Maybe MrLehmann is reading here? Please contact me. Thanks. Cheesy

I am earning bitcoin, slow but steady (only using faucets..), trying to get some for a larger item that I have wanted for awhile. I'm a bit confused about the site though. I tried both instant and choose your own price. I don't get any information about the seller (especially on instant). When I click on the item, I just get a pop up about ordering, but nothing else. How do I find out who's sending the item/where they are located/etc?

You wont get names or addresses from the buyers. Purse instant was, im not sure if still, bought from purse itself, not from buyers.

If you have a higher discount then you wait until a buyer buys the products for you. But even then you only get to know his username.

When you use faucets then you should take a look at signature campaigns too. See: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/overview-of-bitcointalk-signature-ad-campaigns-last-update-01-jan-23-615953

When you get accepted then you will be paid for your posts you write in the forum. Thats way more rewarding than faucets. But dont spam if you want to take part. And you only will be accepted when you have good posts in the past.

Try Purse Instant! https://purse.io/instant
The whole tax thing is extremely complicated. Ever notice when checking out on Amazon that tax is called "Estimated Tax?"

What we plan to do is pre-charge tax to all states that Amazon charges tax in, and if it isn't charged, we'll automatically refund the Instant customer.

Well, my experience with Purse is now over.
They finally canceled my order since it did not ship for 3 days (3rd attempt, 10% discount), and I ordered it myself using Free Prime Same Day delivery I got for a one month free Prime membership.
If I would have used Purse Instant I would need to pay extra 7% tax while in my own order I did not have to pay that 7%.


How does this work? Isnt tax only the vat that you have to pay for importing goods coming form the US into your country?

Normally it should be the same. Though maybe amazon has a store in your country that contains your goods so that it can ship directly from there? But even then... if purse instant would order for you then amazon would ship from there too.

So i dont get why there should be a difference in tax.

It was ordered to NJ using amazon.com..  I have no idea why they calculated a different vat.

I pickup orders all of the time at 10%, maybe 15-20 orders per week and it's always smooth.. Only hangups are as others stated, non prime items, or shipping to other countries from the US (I see this often). Sad the experience was so poor, is your Purse username the same?

Yeah, same username, why ?

Wanted to look through my previous cancelled orders and see if it came up... Nothing here..

If the default provider of a product is not Amazon you will not be charged sales tax. This does cause problems with some of my orders from time to time.

Example- You place a purse order for Item A and Amazon's site says sold by xyz electronics. The initial order will be on Purse without sales tax. A day later because of stocking levels or however Amazon determines these things, now Amazon is the provider. Your purse order will not work because the buyer will attempt to purchase your wish list and the amounts will not match.

It can be frustrating but I ran into this with Cell phone orders so I imagine that may be part of what was screwing Mishax1 up. This only applies in the US and to someone who lives in a state that Amazon charges tax. (I think about 75% do at this point)
