Hi
I am looking to make bitcoin to Amazon Gift Card exchange site..as you trade btc to usd you can trade btc to amazon gift card realtime.

What do you think?

Well it is already a similar website purse.io but in this case the other party buy for you in amazon and provides tracking.
There will be many problems if the Gift Card is bought in illegally way.
The idea is perfect so i wish good luck, let's see the others what they think.

BTW the idea is different from purse.io
it will be exchange in which you trade btc for gift card in realtime as you trade btc/eur etc.

I understand it will be instant like buying something usual but the problem is for the users that will use these gift cards, because it can be many manipulation/fraud on how these gift card were bought. We know that many people that their gift card balance has returned to it previous balance because of these gift cards.
About the platform that you are saying is just perfect, hope you can implement it asap.

Sounds like something with lots of potential, assuming it can work internationally too and not just focus on the US.

I like the idea but have you made any prototype/demo until now for this website?

Can you tell how people can buy Amazon gift cards?

In gift card shop? it is easy, there is also from amazon directly here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LLIKVU/gcrnsts

I want people to buy and sell BTC easily easily but in alternative modes.

Do you guys have anyother ideas that will help people to buy and sell btc in directly.

This can work internationally in fact some gpt and survey websites use it as a payment options but the problem with OP project as mentioned by others is security and ability to checkmate fraud as mentioned by others otherwise he will go bankrupt as soon as he launch his website because crypto and gift cards are 2 different thing entirely.

How amazon gift card looks like? is it a code?

It is a set of numbers just like a virtual credit cards.

How system will check the whether this gift card is worth? is this worth 10$ or 50$
Because people can scam by putting wrong gift card.

i think its impossible.

Only issue i see is people scamming, people steal credit cards all the time buy amazon cards and the site would be heaven.
Best example is the digital goods threads on here.

Your project is not as simple as you think because it has to link back and get authorizations from the concerned website for example before an Amazon Card can clear successfully there should be a script that detect whether it is a fake or genuine also a script that will detect the actual balance in the card.

Yeah! thats what i was talking about! we had to contact with Amazon

Certainly but not directly you might need to get some script to do the job for you.

I contacted Amazon i need to send them business proposal to Amazon WEB services

Is there any script or service that can check the amazon gift card balance?
As far as i know there only way to check the balance is through their live chat or support.
I bookmarked this post to see future progress and i think you can get free credit for your first year in Amazon web services. Good luck.

I have emailed to them

I like this concept which could added another value for bitcoins.

Most of the people buying physical cards using cash. So there is no any risk involved if CASH

That's exciting! I was wondering with the project plan in mind are you considering exchange of Amazon gift cards from any amazon countrywide website like Amazon UK, DE etc? It would be beneficial if all of these were allowed to exchange.
