Neat idea!
Do you think it's necessary to offer a discount to BTC sellers since this service allows them to use their coins somewhat anonymously without any conversion / transfer fees?
Anyway, I have a Prime membership and am a bit of an Amazon junky, so I'd be happy to help you test.

We are developing a new service that matches BTC spenders and BTC buyers through online retailers (starting with just Amazon).
Spenders: Bitcoin user who want to purchase items from major online retailers using bitcoins at a DISCOUNT.
1. Enter URLs of their amazon wishlist (e.g. http://amzn.com/w/32ARMOSOZDQYV).
2. Fund account with sufficient bitcoins.
3. This creates an semi-anonymous "spend order," with which buyers will be matched with.
Buyers: Users who would like to acquire bitcoins easily, using credit card, at a reasonable premium.
1. Enter in $ amount of how much BTC to acquire, creating a "buy order."
2. GBSB matches the buy order with a spend order.
3. Buyer receives the URL to the wishlist, and makes the purchase for Spender (no personal info is shared with buyer)
After Spender receives the item, he confirms with GBSB, which releases the bitcoins to the Buyer. This essentially makes us a streamlined escrow service.
Currently, we'd like to get a small group of both buyers and spenders to test our service, and provide feedback about the usability of this service. As an incentive, early adopting Spenders will receive a discount on amazon purchases of 5%, and Buyers will only pay a 5% premium. Buyers must have Amazon Prime.
