There has to be a way to do this, I already have some ideas on how to improve my system. The only problem is I am working alone and i don't have anyone to collaborate with.


Sorry friend, while I wish you luck, that is not your only problem. Your biggest problem is that there is no way to do what you are trying to do. You're obviously talented and motivated, so I hope this venture will not be your last in Bitcoin. There are a lot of opportunities for new services and applications in this sector, but selling bitcoins for paypal or credit cards is not one of them. Tried, failed, tried again, failed. If I were you I would do a lot more research on the fraud rate with these types of transactions, before you invest any more time or money.

I understand but I am looking at how Retail stores Sell Gold Jewelry, I think that model can be used to sell small amounts of bitcoins to buyers that you can authenticate and identify. 
You could probably take a look at: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/buy-bitcoins-with-your-credit-card-139982 to see how other credit card -> bitcoin processes do to minimize fraud. You could be successful if the fraud rates are low enough.

My intentions for this topic was to explore the different options available for purchasing small amount of bitcoins with your credit card, I have provided one solution for this requirement which is my Brownie Coin app, I would really appreciate it if people would respond with other scalable solutions that meets this simple requirement.


There aren't any, because every attempt at allowing for the purchase of Bitcoins with a credit card or paypal has failed. It isn't a simple requirement, it is a guaranteed money loser. People who purchase Bitcoins legitimately avoid exchanges that accept credit cards now, because we know they will eventually fail. All these services do is attract carders, and then once the chargebacks etc begin, the company inevitably has to fold.

I am not saying you are spamming or anything like that, I wish you great success in your business. However, allowing for even small amounts of BTC to be purchased with any reversible payment method is going to do nothing but cost you your Bitcoins. Perhaps you can find a way to modify your app, so it does something else.

I figured since I am not a newbie anymore, I can start the discussion with the correct topic and in the right section. I am not trying to spam or break the rules.

Yep: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/purchase-bitcoins-from-your-iphone-139365

That should have been moved to here with the OP edited to be this one's instead of starting another thread.

Wasn't there already a thread about this, in which people with experience in BTC explained to you why this is nothing but a magnet for scam artists?

I have created a simple, fast and secure iPhone app which can be used to obtain bitcoins with your credit card.

I have developed an iPhone app called Brownie Coins which allows you to purchase small amounts of bitcoins using iTunes In app purchases.

Please visit BrownieCoins.com for full detail or download the BrownieCoins app on iTunes.
