Topic: Need Amazon Purchasing Service. (Read 309 times)

So my recommendation is that I will check out the list of 8 products you need with a reasonable discount. I have never done this before, but without any difficulty, I think a 10% discount would be a reasonable price for both. If you want to do it, PM me for further discussion of what we need 

For personal reasons, I can't really use Amazon anyway, if you think you can get a legit 20% discount, you can offer purchasing services of say 10-15% discount and still make a profit, or you might as well just use purse.io and buy stuff for others and still make a profit, that just a suggestion which indeed may be a bit biased.

I don't know if you really need an Amazon gift card, but I can give it to you for a discount  I'm still wondering about offering this service on this forum, maybe this is a good opportunity to test it out (if you're interested). Basically, I don't really own it, I will buy it from others and resell it to you guys  I think 20% is a reasonable discount 

I hope I didn't leave you or anyone else who read this with the impression that Purse.io somehow does not work or they are dishonest, it's certainly not that and for those who don't do it for business where every single drop in bitcoin price matters, IMO purse.io is the best option out there.


Yup 2% is better than nothing and you don't expose yourself to bitcoin volatility, or maybe one day soon bitcoin market will be large enough to maintain low volatility which is perfect for services like Purse.io.

Sounds like an absolute shitshow, you have thoroughly convinced me not to bother trying my luck at Purse.io

I was already having second thoughts because I didn't want to be exposed to BTC volatility for any amount of time, but this just solidifies it.

Right now I personally purchase Amazon gift cards directly from Bitrefill. If you use the lightning network you can get a 2% discount, which is not great but it's something.

Quite a few things, the fact that many of those earners keep canceling orders after accepting them and coming up with some funny excuses is annoying, Purse team said they penalize those earners when they do it quite often but that doesn't really change a thing, the main problem I have with purse, however, is the fact that the way it works gives the earners more advantages over the shopper, whereby they indirectly have the chance to trade "safely" using your bitcoin, and here is an example.

You placed an order on March the 10th and it gets filled the same day when bitcoin price was trading for $8000, your order total is $4000 so you have to pay 0.5BTC - discount, that amount sits in purse.io escrow wallet/account.

To this point everything is great, say you got a 15% discount and paid only $3400 which is equivalent to 0.425 BTC, the shopper wakes up the next day and sees bitcoin price at $4000 when they have technically bought it for 8000+15% = $9200, in a fair scenario, you being shopper should not encounter any loses because you have ALREADY paid the amount in BTC according to the price of the date of purchase, but the shopper being a human being and seeing they can ctr+z what's considered a terrible trade they can easily cancel the order, (even after it has been shipped in some cases).

In other words, the earner has all the power to chose between 0.425BTC*4000$ = 1700$ or $4000, I am not aware of so many honest human beings who will accept their bad luck/judgment and settle for $1700 when they can cancel the order and get back their $4000.

Once and if they do so, Purse will be nice enough to refund you the 0.425BTC which now worth only $1700, so you simply lost $1700.

Now let's look at the other scenario when BTC prices heads the other direction from $8000 to $16,000, the shopper can't cancel the order and the earner will receive 0.425BTC or $6800 as opposed to $3400, which makes sense as the shopper needs to take that loss and accept their bad luck.

So in a nutshell, the shopper has the advantage regardless of where bitcoin price goes, it goes up - they make more money, it goes down - they make more money too, and everything is the exact opposite on the shopper's side, those are just examples, you don't see bitcoin go down or up 50% every day but with bitcoin being so volatile you are always subject to the example above regardless of the percentage.

There are probably a few options to fix this major issue, using a stable coin might be an option, I am sure purse know better, and it may not be just a matter of a piece of code added to their website, and I am also sure many earners have complained about the issue so maybe someday in the future they will fix the issue.

With that being said, it goes without saying that based on my experience, Purse.io has probably the best support team one can ask for, the user interface is great, it's probably the best option to those who make small personal orders, but making large orders especially if you are planning on doing business Purse.io might not be the best option in my honest opinion.

What do you dislike about Purse? I was planning on using it for a few large purchases soon...

Thank you both for trying to help. I am actually well aware of Purse.io, I have in fact used it so many times and I still use it here and there, but there are a few things which I dislike about purse.io and that's the reason why I want someone/something else to provide me this service, I am not looking for 30% or any insane discounts by the way.

I'd also recommend purse.io, 15% discount and you will recieve your order in 4-6 days (or choose a bigger discount if you don't mind waiting). Much safer and it will get the job done instantly.

https://purse.io/ is designed for this purpose. You can get up to 30% discount I think, depends how long you're willing to wait for the order to be filled.

Anything more than 30% discount and you're just asking to have your orders filled with fraudulently obtained giftcards.

bump.

I have a wishlist for $1080, would like to pay in BTC and I expect to get a decent discount since BTC is king.

If I don't know you well or we have not traded before and you are not a highly trusted member, you will either go first or we use escrow.

Please send me a PM if you are interested.
