Title: Would this be a good idea?
Post by: Equinoxx on December 28, 2015, 04:02:40 PM
I have funds outside of Bitcoin, do you think a service where I buy for things that only accept real cash i.e https://g2a.com, amazon.com or anything else. And I receive Bitcoin?
Obviously escrow can be used, or people can pay upfront, whatever the case is.

Bottom line, is this a good idea?

Not sure if I get exactly what's your idea but if you will be accepting fiat money from CCs, Paypal and even cash, you should be very careful about scammers.

If it is the other way around, then I think it's much easier and definitely a good idea, just make them pay upfront as you said and it should be no problem. The only issue I see is that I'm not sure how many people will use your service. If they already have Bitcoin, they surely got it by purchasing it via CCs, bank accounts, etc.

No no, I accept fiat and sell in BTC. For example if you wanted a game from g2a.com you could give me the BTC and I buy with fiat and we do a transaction like that.

G2A.com is accepting Bitcoin since October I suppose : https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3ohqe7/gaming_giant_g2a_now_accepts_bitcoin_through/
and for Amazon , people prefer to use purse.io since they will get % off the price , however if you are willing to include other websites and services on the net then yes why not .. I guess it would be a good idea !

It could be a good idea. I will see if there is any attraction. I will make a poll or something. I will let this thread go on and see if people like it or nah.

This is definitely a good idea. Ever since Humble Bundle stopped allowing people to buy with bitcoin in the Humble Store I'm been a little pressed for games. You should offer this as soon as possible!

I used to buy from Humble years ago! I hadn't a clue the were still around. Maybe I'll make a post having a few sites that I use.
Right now the attractions are: eBay and Humble Bundle. Please suggest more guys!

It is going to be a great idea for there are several merchants who do not accept btc and if you provide a service like this,people who want to pay with bitcoin,will find your service very handy

This is the definition of a confirming house.

A confirming house is a specialised UK agency that purchases and arranges the export of goods on the behalf of overseas buyers. They finance the movement of goods into the country by offering short-term credit to importers and guaranteeing, or confirming, payment to the suppliers in the suppliers own domestic currency.

You could make an extra profit by buying goodsthat are local to your country, and exporting them for Bitcoin payments. Maybe you shouldn't offer the credit though. :)

So let me get this straight, I want game/toy/whatever X for $20 I send you $20 worth of btc and you buy it for me?


Ok so why would I use you when I can use my own cash? Or find a site that accepts btc.

Or if your trying to get btc use a exchange. You will be at far less risk


Title: Re: Would this be a good idea?
Post by: DebitMe on January 10, 2016, 11:50:14 PM
You can do this over at purse.io.  People list what they want from amazon and you can go and use your credit card to purchase it for them and they pay in bitcoin.

Yes that is the right idea.

Ok so why would I use you when I can use my own cash? Or find a site that accepts btc.

I know so many people on this forum that doesn't use PayPal / Skrill but for example wants something like that. I know a lot of people that earn Bitcoin but not real cash.
Finding a site that accepts btc... Yes Bitcoin is becoming more popular now and being accepted in a lot of new sites / shops / etc... But there are still A LOT of things that you can't buy with Bitcoin.

Or if your trying to get btc use a exchange. You will be at far less risk

Using an exchange is very impracticable and I see more exchanges being done on this forum.

But thanks for commenting and adding to the topic. In the op you would've seen that I said this is just an idea.

That covers one website; amazon.com. What about other sites? For example some sites that I USE that I would like to accept bitcoin would be:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/
https://teespring.com/

And mentioning online clothing, I don't see a lot that accept Bitcoin. But it's just an idea.. Thanks!

Post by: Jeremycoin on January 24, 2016, 05:29:14 AM
This is a good idea, and I think you should do this on a site that sells real things. Because nowadays, people can easily buy a digital goods with Bitcoin but not for real goods.


Title: Re: Would this be a good idea?
Post by: bitbaby on January 24, 2016, 05:36:12 AM
I don't see anything wrong with this. The biggest obstacle would be getting people to trust you or your site but maybe escrow can help with that.

But if you do decide to do this then have a request section there too where people can request things to be ordered which are not available to be ordered with bitcoins.


Title: Re: Would this be a good idea?

Thanks for the feedback guys! The more feedback I get - the more I am thinking about actually doing this.

Sounds good to me, but you'll have to establish trust with you users. Escrow and a rating/feedback system would be a great start.

If I were you I would start this out on the forums here and then move to a website and/or larger scale if all is successful. Though this may become obsolete once even more merchants jump on the bitcoin bandwagon.

I was thinking the same. But don't you think that anything to do with Bitcoin can turn around and scam you? Like exchanges are still new, I think you could only trust them after 20+ years.

Yes it has to be more secure for people so more people can do it, now its still a big risk for people that do it. Maybe in the future there will be a system for scammers.

I think the only way it would work is by using escrow. Having a trusted middleman could work.

Ejarwan (on this forum) is doing the same thing with Steam. You'll have to give discounts like him, because people will simply use their PayPal account. You need an incentive for people to use bitcoin, and a discount does just that.

Then what's the point? I am doing this because for someone like me, I don't earn fiat money yet. I am still studying.
So I have Bitcoins to spend.

But I do have fiat which is why I would like to do this.


Title: Re: Would this be a good idea?
Post by: Equinoxx on February 15, 2016, 03:08:48 PM
I think it's a great idea.  It would just have to be set up carefully so that people can trust that you will actually buy what they want when they send you BTC.  I'm assuming you would charge a fee or something to make a profit?  I like the idea from the consumers point of view, but it sounds like it would be a headache to run (from you point of view).

I would make it non-profit. If I see it becoming a 'heavy' job then I might hire some helpers :) But that would result in charging fees :/

Not but at all the buyer will not care how you purchase the stuff as long as the products or the stuffs he ask to buy is really what stated on your store if you have one or  description ,you need a site for that and if you are going to do it here you need a good reputation or trust grade

Nah. People who aware of bitcoin and who has wallet they will not go with fiat to pay for anything. Because we know How bitcoin is easier than fiat in many ways. People who doesn't know about bitcoin, They don't have any option to pay due to that only fiat currency is working with common people.

Its a good idea, but you will have to look out for people that want to scam you because that is also possible.
Another thing to keep in mind is if people will do this because people need to trust you fully because otherwise they will never do this.
At the end its a good idea you just need to work your idea out and need to build up contact and let people fully trust you so you will happy customers and can create a whole empire with customers.


Title: Re: Would this be a good idea?

It could be a good idea but you have to work it out due to the people that you want to attract with it, you should look up your real target.
Overall its a good idea because some people do not want to convert their bitcoins at all I think you also have to gain trust at people because otherwise they will do this.


Title: Re: Would this be a good idea?
Post by: mettalmag on February 27, 2016, 11:56:32 AM

And you should concentrate on countries which don't have paypal

Idea is not new and not so uncommon. We have seen many people trying to be retailers for people offering bitcoin as payment.
The problem however is that more and more services are capitalizing on this concept as well.

For PC games we have G2A directly accepting bitcoin with great deals and stability. There are some minor services like https://steambitshop.com/ (https://steambitshop.com/) offering the same.

For Amazon purchases we have Purse.io where you can save 15% on each deal etc.

For this idea to work you have to find another niche and products which are hardly available for bitcoin users.

Yeah like most of the things you need to find a niche and specialize in it.
Own the niche and you will make a big profit. Remember though eventually you will find another niche because other players will also step in.

Overall the idea is not bad, still I see a few problems you should think about:
1. Risk - who will support the risk if between ordering and payment BTC price jumps or falls a lot?
2. Trust - you will have to find ways to make people trust you and your business. Usually that's not for free.
3. Price - people will use your service if they have a benefit. You'll have to offer good prices, else people will use other ways (for example BTC debit cards). If you have access to coupons you can use, then you have a business. Else you may just end up losing time and money.

Good luck!

I think its a good idea but you really need to work out otherwise you will not succeed, make sure you can be trusted that is one of the most important rules.
Because of the fact there are a lot of scammers you should have to be trust-able and make sure your buyers are also not scammers.

It will payoff but its of course a matter of time, you just have to be trusted for the people, maybe give some kind of vouch away so you can be reviewed as trusted, also be trusted with information about yourself.
It really helps people trust you because of that, some people do not trust something like this so there will also be people that stay away.

You can make those happen but the question is till where people will trust the money to you?If you suceed you will have some clients that may ask buy with you ,but why to dont exchange bitcoin at fiat and buy themselfes those?Before exchanges this service would had boom ,now i believe you can get some costumers but in the end you wont be doing nothing more then became busy with buy and send orders.

I have funds outside of Bitcoin, do you think a service where I buy for things that only accept real cash i.e https://g2a.com, amazon.com or anything else. And I receive Bitcoin?
Obviously escrow can be used, or people can pay upfront, whatever the case is.

Bottom line, is this a good idea?

Yes this is a good idea if you have a funds in paypal you can start buy goods if costumer wants to buy some thing in amazon or g2a
And payment is bitcoin use your funds in paypal as your money to buy in amazon and g2a and make sure use escrow to hold costumer's bitcoin before you buy things in amazon or g2a.. so that you are far in scammers..

bitcoin is flexible,as long buyer and seller know what bitcoin is,they not must be worry about value of that payment,its a good idea,keep support bitcoin and use it for investement or currency :)

How is that not making sense?
I buy something for real cash (NOT AVAILABLE IN BITCOIN) and sell it with BTC to the user who wanted it.
Still not making sense?

i dont think this is a good idea why would they give you bit coins if someone else pay with cash.
they can get more profit out of it when they keep the coin and give you the cash.
so they can store all of the coins and sell them later.

Not sure if I get exactly what's your idea but if you will be accepting fiat money from CCs, Paypal and even cash, you should be very careful about scammers.

If it is the other way around, then I think it's much easier and definitely a good idea, just make them pay upfront as you said and it should be no problem. The only issue I see is that I'm not sure how many people will use your service. If they already have Bitcoin, they surely got it by purchasing it via CCs, bank accounts, etc.

No no, I accept fiat and sell in BTC. For example if you wanted a game from g2a.com you could give me the BTC and I buy with fiat and we do a transaction like that.
wow didn't know buying a game with bitcoins on g2a was real since when?
never ever heard about it i think many people wants to buy their games with online bitcoins

They wont let you do that it's only more work for them and maybe its a profit for them.
if you're paying someone with coins he received money and the server keeps the coins. only that system will maybe be ok.

The idea is a litte bit vague if you ask me.
What are buying with you  real cash? Bitcoins or goods/items?
If it is bitcoins, then how is this better/faster then local bitcoins?

If is goods, how is this better then the usual escrow?

As for the problems for OP`s orginal post for transactions.

Depending on how they approach it, I would say they would have to use a escrow friendly service outside from this forum where others can easily deposit their money.

Or they know someone on this forum thats been around and use their escrow service of +14 rep or higher.

Anything digital has a re-course from both sides which is why the escrow needs to come in - incase the source of the game was not stolen/hacked/etc.

This can be good idea but there are some websites such as purse.io and... that are your rivals and you should do a good market research at the first.
The best thing that you can do with Bitcoin now is that you have to make it more popular and that is really important because not that many people will get to know about it so that have to change.
But of course it will be nice if there will be more people that is going to use Bitcoin and that would be nice also for Bitcoin itself.

That's good idea of making money without investment, but when it comes to real-time execution you won't get profit as calculated. Acting as an intermediary between customer and traders will get you profit with those who opt for payment through bitcoin. Now only very little people know about bitcoin so it's not that profitable.

Dont think there are many profits for the company and you know the bitcoin does not have a stable value so they also need to put some fee on it. On that point you wont get all of the coins you can earn for something you sold there.

The hard thing is that you dont even know what is going to happen with the value in the future and that is the risky thing of Bitcoin because sometimes it is hard to make decision.

There is some risks for sure... But if we analyze, there is no reason for Bitcoin crash now. I believe its price will be stable for some time yet. The price can up fast and down fast also, but after the "storm" the price becomes stable again.

So I think it's a good idea to accept BTC payments from online sites. And if you fear about the coin price, just exchange your BTCs for dollar after the transaction.

I think starting an company which exchanges fiat for bitcoin and bitcoin to fiat with some insane rates is a really good idea.

Hey guys!

Thanks for all the feedback. Really - I appreciate it!

So I have come to the conclusion that this could be used in stuff like this;

Services that have no physical part meaning it is digital.
Like a VPN service or Cloud Storage service.

Say you wanted a VPN from PureVPN (Arguably one of the best VPNs) and when I used them they didn't accept Bitcoin (Not sure if they do know but you get the point) I could use my fiat to pay for the service and you pay me in bitcoin for a %1 fee (Just a rough number).

I would make a thread just to see what kind of a demand is there in services that accept fiat ONLY and not bitcoin.

I will make a follow up post after this.

But first tell me what you think of this plan.

Well, I am not agree, Using escrow can consume some time (some time it may consume lots of time too) but doing escrow is really important. it is not about someone's reputation. it is about the term of buying something and being/feeling safe.. and believe me doing deals with also build up your reputation in the community.

I don't think OP can use escrow in these type of ways of buying things. websites and marketplace don't use escrow.. but if the new site you are talking about add some extension like that and allow escrow then it would be really great. yes....

I have funds outside of Bitcoin, do you think a service where I buy for things that only accept real cash i.e https://g2a.com, amazon.com or anything else. And I receive Bitcoin?
Obviously escrow can be used, or people can pay upfront, whatever the case is.

Bottom line, is this a good idea?

It's not a bad idea but if you want this to succeed you must offer a discount (even a small one) otherwise why would anyone choose you and don't exchange his btc and then buy anything he wants?

I think that is a good idea after all. But of course you need to use escrow and you need to pay escrow for his service.
It's up to you if you are going to pursue it but I think that's a good idea.

Thanks! But I think - if this is okay with the community - I would prefer to do smaller transactions to build up trust. I just feel escrow is a bit of a hassle.
Well, I am not agree, Using escrow can consume some time (some time it may consume lots of time too) but doing escrow is really important. it is not about someone's reputation. it is about the term of buying something and being/feeling safe.. and believe me doing deals with also build up your reputation in the community.

Okay, thanks for your input =D I understand escrow is preferred and I agree. But yes as we both see it - it is time consuming. This is something I will take into account

Yes, it is good so that you can help bitcoin to circulate on the market. Good way also to  encourage others to do what you're doing. That's a good start already to help bitcoin develop faster.

It can help to growing bitcoin in that way.. but i think someone already made that site that you can buy games  g2a using their site that accept bitcoin i forgot the name but its already made many games in their website is from g2a.com also in amazon someone already made those service like purse.io..

You should try many ways to get them for bitcoin,before converting into fiat,i think there are some pages like this.
However you can just make post's on forum somewhere,that you want to buy few games,just make one topic and tell us all the games
that you want to have,im pretty sure that you will find many people who might sell them to you with bitcoin,just try it.
anyway bitbaby is true,you may have problem with trust,but as he said too,you can use escrow service you avoid that problem.

So to go through the hurdles and gain the traffic like g2a did through various streamers and whatever else they did then just to see your business die overnight would be painful.

G2a already uses BitPay believe it or not. But as just using G2A as an example. Any company that ONLY accepts fiat - let just say g2a (example) - I would use my exchange services for it.

If you don't charge extra fees then it is a great idea .

No need to provide the transaction. The user just wants the game just give the user cheapest rate from around you can have profit too .

Example, You are getting a game for 10$ instead of 14$ from steam you can sell it for 12$ and still have 1$ profit.

Good luck!

Transaction is good because it is like the receipt that make you proved you have bought or sell something. It is to make avoid others from lying. So it is still recommended.

The fact that his idea is that it is somewhat  trading with some services offered included. That's a good thing. Because many games like what he stated dont accept BTC as payment and only accept real cash. So, he do the job and you pay BTC then he will buy points or something form a game in real cash. Many bitcoiners here prefer to buy using bitcoins instead of real mone because it is the currency they have. You are making their job a lot more easier. That's great

So I see that most of you understand the main point.
And I had made a post that didn't receive many responses. Please check it out and get back to me:

Quote
Hey guys!

Thanks for all the feedback. Really - I appreciate it!

So I have come to the conclusion that this could be used in stuff like this;

Services that have no physical part meaning it is digital.
Like a VPN service or Cloud Storage service.

Say you wanted a VPN from PureVPN (Arguably one of the best VPNs) and when I used them they didn't accept Bitcoin (Not sure if they do know but you get the point) I could use my fiat to pay for the service and you pay me in bitcoin for a %1 fee (Just a rough number).

I would make a thread just to see what kind of a demand is there in services that accept fiat ONLY and not bitcoin.

I will make a follow up post after this.

But first tell me what you think of this plan.

you can add ebay, which has nothing like purse.io at the moment, i was going to order something but i want to do it with bitcoin

As I said, if there is more attraction I wouldn't mind doing this.
This is definitely a good idea. Ever since Humble Bundle stopped allowing people to buy with bitcoin in the Humble Store I'm been a little pressed for games. You should offer this as soon as possible!


Why would people pay you to buy in fiat for them, when they can buy in fiat for themselves?

If they have bitcoins and want to buy something from a store that only accepts fiat, they can sell their coins and buy themselves without having to pay you a dime.

You will have to make your prices very competitive since I'm sure many people try this, once you build up trust you could start to charge more simply because people know you will deliver the good or service as expected. I think this is a good idea and could be profitable.

Not sure if I get exactly what's your idea but if you will be accepting fiat money from CCs, Paypal and even cash, you should be very careful about scammers.

If it is the other way around, then I think it's much easier and definitely a good idea, just make them pay upfront as you said and it should be no problem. The only issue I see is that I'm not sure how many people will use your service. If they already have Bitcoin, they surely got it by purchasing it via CCs, bank accounts, etc.

No no, I accept fiat and sell in BTC. For example if you wanted a game from g2a.com you could give me the BTC and I buy with fiat and we do a transaction like that.

That seems to be what everyone does I don't see the reasoning that Its not a bad idea.

Yeah, it may mean he is like that. Indeed this is very nice to do, but it still has a fairly complex problem that is we have to do this Offline, because maybe we pay just by calling and asking for the account.

Much has changed since your thread started. You now can use bitcoin with those places.

You can still be of help , not all places take bitcoin yet. Maybe if you can find some things people are interested in you can offer similar or the same items but in bitcoin. If you sell game keys then you can collect links from different sites that don't accept bitcoin yet. They can be from any site that gather's enough interest.

I think there are a lot of third party escrow ready to be if you want to conduct a transaction. but for sites like amazon I think they trusted sites that you do not need to wear escrow

Just keep in your mind that people can cheat you.

Some people are buying things using a credit card, and then calling their credit card company to cancel the transaction, or even worse, some people are purchasing items over the internet with a stolen credit card, and then the real owner chargebacks and you stay without the money and without the product.

You should make the price higher due to those risks in my opinion

Thats a good idea,but I think that you should get yourself a good escrow that people trusts in order to gain some trust from your customer.

A decent escrow does not cost a lot today,and you can end up paying less then 10$ a month for a trusted service.

Post by: iv4n on October 30, 2016, 06:35:29 AM
Yes this is a good idea, and something like this can work. I will suggest one thing too you, look for discounts! For real cash you can find stores with high discount, in that way you can find cheap things, sell them for little higher price and everyone will be satisfied.
Just for this I think you need to be well informed about discounts in your town and close shopping malls. Maybe you will need to wait in lines to buy something cheaper that others wish. Where are you from, do you have some black Friday close to you?
I think in some countries there is good prices for some things, they are much cheaper then in mine. You can make this work if you make a good effort.

Idea is not bad at all, i'm sure you would get a lot of customers if you open a service on this forum offering this, because i have seen a lot of people wishing to buy things from sites but the sites were not accepting bitcoins, so if you can do this for them it would be a good news for them.

i think its a good idea and for now you can do with a help from third party website like purse.io and else. beside that, it will be a good too for bitcoin itself. but if you don't need help from third party, then you should consider to make integrated between other site to your site.

Good idea? No doubt! I personally would love to have a deal with someone like he buys me something with dollars and i pay him with bitcoins the same amount or just a bit extra for his commission because most of the times i don't get to buy things because they are not sold for bitcoins and i don't have any other payment processors.

There are many online businesses accepting bitcoin but I do not like making payment with bitcoin on any website that accept bitcoin payment through Bitpay because encounter lots of issues with them. The best service you should consider is the one that accept bitcoin payment through coinbase,that is always great.

You will need escrows and profiles and things for people as well as to foward all needed details like tracking numbers .

Ok so why am I using you when I can use my own cash? Or find a site that accepts btc. Or if you try to get btc using a swap. You will be less risky, Bitcoin is becoming more popular now and is accepted in many sites / stores / etc ... But there are still many things that you can not buy with Bitcoin.
But it's just an idea .. Thanks!
It is good to keep bitcoin and if you have the potential to increase the power of the bitcoin is through making it popular among the users. Through this a lot of new people will get to know about bitcoin and they will find it easy to use. So it will be good to increase the users of the bitcoin because through this the price of the bitcoin will increase and the profit will be double.

If he’s trying to work as an escrow, I don’t think it would really be possible, because there are already lots of escrow services around; a difficult job to start up. Some people now prefer going to sites like Bitpremier to purchase straight, but I wouldn’t do such.

I would prefer using my bitcoin to purchase an Amazon gift card which I can then use to buy whatever I need from their store.

Using this new and the big companies will step into the bitcoin and it will hit the more profit for the bitcoin users. Bitcoin will be able to buy directly as more the sites and the users will be able to get the bitcoin free for the joining bitcoin talk or some other sites are there for the bitcoin selling ideas or the buying ideas.

Through this a lot of new people will get to know about bitcoin and they will find it easy to use. So it will be good to increase the users of the bitcoin because through this the price of the bitcoin will increase and the profit will be double.
Eehm…why do people find it hard to understand what bitcoin is all about? Whoever told you Bitcoin is meant to be used as money. Take for example, we have Gold. Yep, sometimes gold can be used for transactions, but that doesn’t mean it’s taking place of real currencies. Bitcoin is a form of investment, so don’t force yourselves.

I dont really quite get it, but i understand some parts. So your going to buy things from amazon, lazada to sell it in real cash that would be nice if the person can pay upfront after all there are bunch of scammers out there that will order your products but in the end they wouldn't pay. If you have an online shop the payment methods like CC's and paypal are good enough then you can also add btc.

You don’t even get it; what he meant to say was that he wants to buy things that can only be found on Amazon, and then sell them on his site, offering people the choice to buy them with Bitcoin.
It’s quite good, though I don’t fancy such and won’t be among those buying from such sites.

It seems to me that today any payment system has a good incentive and humanity uses their services without hesitation. Therefore, it is exactly how PayPal has its client, and Bitcoin has its users who know about the advantages of these or other services. It seems to me that we should not even talk about the competitiveness of these different systems.

I have funds outside of Bitcoin, do you think a service where I buy for things that only accept real cash i.e https://g2a.com, amazon.com or anything else. And I receive Bitcoin?
Obviously escrow can be used, or people can pay upfront, whatever the case is.

Bottom line, is this a good idea?

It could be possible but you seem to have very high red trust, and since you are going to receive bitcoin for some reversible payment method then it is unlikely that many people are going to trust in you.

I think it will be a good idea, Since as of now bitcoin is predicted to fly untill eight thousand dollars till the end of the year. The October 10 event will be the first step so i think you better have a go for this one, Since it's safe coz you involve escrow with this transaction.

Not sure if I get exactly what's your idea but if you will be accepting fiat money from CCs, Paypal and even cash, you should be very careful about scammers.

If it is the other way around, then I think it's much easier and definitely a good idea, just make them pay upfront as you said and it should be no problem. The only issue I see is that I'm not sure how many people will use your service. If they already have Bitcoin, they surely got it by purchasing it via CCs, bank accounts, etc.

No no, I accept fiat and sell in BTC. For example if you wanted a game from g2a.com you could give me the BTC and I buy with fiat and we do a transaction like that.
Now this idea is not that useful because bitcoin is now accepted as legal payment method by many of the online big websites as you have mentioned one of them i.e www.g2a.com. A huge increase in the price and popularity of bitcoin is observed in the past couple of years which compel government to legalize it. Many stores, retailers and websites (where bitcoin is legal) are now accepting bitcoin as legal payment method.

yeah it is very good idea. if you have to try it once really good. because bit coin has demand in the trading so you can invest in to this. but you have to keep good offers because most of the web sites using like this ideas. so you have to think some more innovative. i think in this had few risks so be carefully you have to do this task. because hackers are hacking now all the sites so do it carefully.but once you enter in to this field just trust it once.and if you get some more good ideas on that just keep in this.

Word is that Amazon will be accepting Bitcoin before the end of October. I'm waiting with my bitcoins ready, eyeing a new laptop. As much as I hate to support the giant that Amazon is becoming, the prices are way to good to resist.

No I think it is not a good idea, because I think that exchanging your currency is not so easy when you want bitcoin as your payments or something else. As one of the friends told you that you should be careful from the scammers I would also suggest you to be careful while buying and selling from the scammers otherwise you will lose all your money.

For buying bitcoin you should directly contact to your local exchanger to convert your funds in bitcoin besides you ask from anonymous people to give you bitcoins in place of your funds of anything else.

Yeah this will be definitely a bad idea. Actually business is all about three things, profit, loss and risk attached to them. And then the expert says, you have to go for the option while deciding, that have minimum of risk factor.

Same applied here and in this case you don’t need to convert. It is difficult process and secondly you should be better aware from these scammers all around.

Its ok to go about. But you need to see how many are ready to do this. Because, everyone started purchasing online with their credit cards, debit cards or cash on delivery. Any way good luck.

Yes I also submit that if you buy something from any site, they will deliver your order and to the delivery person you can pay in cash. It is not a problem, but I will suggest you to buy some bitcoins and keep them in your wallet and when you need to purchase something anywhere in the world you would be able to pay with your bitcoin and there will be no need to exchange your cash or any other obstacles in paying the bills.

Yeah there are a lot of the sites to buy the things from using the bitcoin, and this is the best idea all the markets are now using the bitcoin and they will have the best future in this if they will introduce the new forums and the markets that will accept the bitcoin as the payment and the payment is not very difficult now because the bitcoin is famous and all the people are aware of the bitcoin how to use and how to spend.

yeah thats another point mate,having that huge red trust how could people
trust him anyway,because here in crypto what matters is trust for us to stay moving
and have transaction with fair treatment.and i think escrow would have a big part
even if someone will deals with the OP

G2A.com is accepting Bitcoin since October I suppose : https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3ohqe7/gaming_giant_g2a_now_accepts_bitcoin_through/
and for Amazon , people prefer to use purse.io since they will get % off the price , however if you are willing to include other websites and services on the net then yes why not .. I guess it would be a good idea !

It could be a good idea. I will see if there is any attraction. I will make a poll or something. I will let this thread go on and see if people like it or nah.
Yes of course it would be helpful not only for ourselves but also to our community. It would be a good idea if people uses markets that will accept the bitcoin as a payment.

As far as I can understand, you want to offer a service where you will buy things they want using your fiat because the stores do not accept btc but someone wants it to buy using their bitcoins. Your business will not grow with that because people can still exchange btc to cash whenever they want to.

I don’t really think so that this idea will work out in a way that you’ll be able to get something big in the form of profit. If you really want to grab the attention of number of people, you have to introduce something totally unique so that people may get interested in your idea or product. Otherwise, there is no point of doing such kind of thing as it will only result in bringing down your moral and nothing else.

That's good idea of making money without investment, but when it comes to real-time execution you won't get profit as calculated. Acting as an intermediary between customer and traders will get you profit with those who opt for payment through bitcoin. Now only very little people know about bitcoin so it's not that profitable.
