If I'm not mistaken, the account is not tied to user data. So it should be quite safe.

I think it's difficult. and I also want to know about this. because until now every transaction we have to include evidence or anything related to ourselves. like our information. so we can't be completely anonymous. it would be better if we could freely transact in a safe way for both the seller and the buyer but with full anonymity. but I don't think there is such a thing or difficult. Or maybe I just don't know.

i will start to find out if there is such a way. secure but anonymous.

I am looking to purchase items like collectibles of Bitcoin without revealing my address. I could get a escrow to middle man the deal but I am still giving away my personal information to someone that I do not know. Is there any services out there that allow auto forwarding of mail or drop off points which you can access without giving away personal information?
What kind of items do you want to buy? You can use your postal code and anonymous name at the time of buying. I hope it will arrive at your nearest post office. On the other hand, you can convert your btc to other currency and can use for buying purpose. Then it is not necessary to hide identity because bitcoin might illegal but other currency are not.

It depends upon the service that you are looking for, much better is always read the terms and conditions or maybe the FAQ.  They possibly secretly hide your basic information, like the nickname and valid email address, and sending it to any location that you want, of course, this isn't your real address, it's an alternative during the purchase.

Have you tried to use this site?  https://shipanon.com/
Please read the FAQ first to prevent self confusion regarding anonymity, they accept Bitcoin also, and please do your own research first before using them.

 
 There's also https://ship7.com/
 I been used them without have to provide KYC verification!

 
 I think for shipito too,
 You'll need to provide certified authorization in case of forwarding letters, that's don't apply for forwarding items !

It’s very interesting topic. I have couple devs they tipped me for art but there wasn’t any way to deliver art to them. The only possibility was if I knew already somehow from his family or I was the family. But if you order from me art I will immediately forget all the information. Smiley
Well there is kinda a place where the NFT come in play I saw some place where you can buy the nft and with it the art, but still you need to give the adress for delivary. Interesting topic for sure.

It's not practically possible to receive collectibles without revealing the address. As there are some reservations and interest of the sale for which it's mandatory. These are just to make both the ends secured so the interest of both the buyer and sellers can be ensured. Also, check the FAQs for the sale for which you are about to acquire the service.


crazy for me.

I dont know where you are based Macadonian but what about a Post Office Box,
a box number which doesnt reveal your identity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_office_box

Does this office boxes really help to stay anonymous? You still need to fill some basic information about yourself when renting a box. Even if you fill form with fake data and pay in cash, there are still cameras all around in post institutions. It will just take some time to identify a person from a video with a real person.

Anyway, this is actually a good question Macadonian asked. How to hide real delivery address, when you anonymously purchase something? How to do it without causing other people troubles?
Anonymous towards who exactly? By collecting the package at the post office instead of receiving it at home address you protect your privacy towards the seller, but there is no way to cover your identity from the post office system.

I understand why someone would want to hide himself from the seller, especially when dealing with unknown people on the internet without any backgrounds, but I see no reason to avoid being identified by the post office agents, unless the buyer is doing something wrong.

Now there are more and more stores where you can "physically" buy something for bitcoin. As for me, this really needs to be used.
In this case, the legality of Bitcoin is very necessary from a country, because in my country... I still can't buy physical goods anonymously, but if I buy something goods with Bitcoin to someone.. maybe I can still do it. Basically, it's worth using, and can still be done anonymously, but maybe due to price fluctuations, sometimes it's still considered.

You're putting yourselves at risk mate, don't ever share information for someone you do not know personally. There could be possibility of an personal data breach that might happen on you, and we don't want it to happen.
Much better if you do buying bitcoin on your own, just use a legit and popular exchange, have a basic account then you can purchase btc anonymously even though your address will be revealed.
It's not a big deal, as long as you kept your identity safely to someone else a stranger from you.
If you trade anything then you are required to share your address to get the item at least with a PO box that some have suggested you are doing it with a company that does not care about your details and have thousands of our customers.

damnn this new in never really think about it  Grin Grin Grin there's bitcoin mixing but there's no address mixing  Grin Grin most of youtuber using PO box but it would be great if there is platfrom one time use put the address to someone warehouse and send to you and the address never been save it
I think it's a good business idea if you ask me but the only problem is that it can be used to transport illicit goods that might cause some conflict with the postal authority in your country. Plus what's the worry of doing a PO box if you don't want to reveal your name when sent a mail? I think it's much better if you think about it.

Bitcoin is generally considered to be an anonymous payment network.

But in fact, Bitcoin may be the most transparent payment network in the world. At the same time, if used properly, Bitcoin can provide acceptable privacy.

Always remember that it is your own responsibility to develop good habits to protect your privacy.

The biggest feature of Bitcoin is not anonymity but the fastest transfer speed to form the transfer of equal wealth and eliminate all kinds of ideologies in the world.

Therefore, it is currently impossible to make completely anonymous shopping.

Not possible. You will have to reveal your address and personal information to someone.

Buying things locally in person with cash is the only real way to stay "anonymous." That person, of course, will see you.

The only way to buy something anonymously online directly with crypto would be to A. use Monero B. ship to a random location C. intercept the package.

A gift card can generally be assumed to be anonymous. However, if it's the government selling you the gift card, they could track the number and potentially obtain your id from the vendor (i.e. Amazon).

This forum has a marketplace, you can check it out, remember that you have to be wary of scammers though because it's unregulated here which is the part that I don't get. I don't know much anonymity anymore OP, we all have our infos recorded in the government registry, it's only our secrets that are safe anymore.
I know this forum has a marketplace I am not asking that I am asking how can I receive collectibles from the forum without revealing my address. I was hoping that there might be Bitcoin accepting mail forwarders.
Take crypto: https://planetexpress.com/faq/#13
However, all major mail forwarders exclude most items you would want anonymity for. They exclude "monetary items (coins, precious stones, cash, precious metal, etc.)"

I am also thinking about this on the past is there a way for us to stay anonymous with crypto purchase or even cash outs?
Just like OP I was looking for a way to convert my crypto into Fiat or at least buy something with it but stay anonymous,
But it seems that there isn't anyway for it unless you would hire someone to do it instead of your own.
Several decentralized exchanges that let you do this. Why people use centralized exchanges amazes me. Protect your privacy. See this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/buying-btc-from-kyc-exchange-5351003

To stay anonymous is possible, but what you expect is beyond anonymity. Because, you're into the purchase of bitcoin collectibles. To reach you it is a must to provide address. You can stay anonymous using any of the cryptocurrency, because there are marketplace in our forum and outside space who accept bitcoin without any kyc. To deliver your product without any address details is not an easy thing. Only possible way is to meet up at some location and receive the collectibles.

Note : While receiving the product use face mask and other things that covers your identity. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
LOL ;DYou are so careful and remind OP to pretend. At present, it is difficult to anonymize as long as it is connected with reality. Anonymity refers to the payment method, intangible value can be transmitted, and tangible items cannot be realized.

It depends on the agreement for shipping problems. but when it comes to payment of addresses, there is a coin mixing service for that but if you using middle man services no way you using mixing service. it seems that now it is rare to be completely anonymous. Surely one of the parties will know. if it's just a matter of home address, there is a PO BOX system in delivery.

Once you convert a digital asset to a physical asset, the anonymity is lost. No matter what you do, you can never be 100% anonymous in such occasions. There are certain methods, such as ordering to a friends address, or through those who offer such services. But in none of the cases, it is 100% safe and actually this may lead you in to even bigger trouble. If you don't want to be seen purchasing collectibles using Bitcoin, then you can always convert your Bitcoins to digital gift cards (in an anonymous way) and then use these gift cards to purchase physical assets.
