Title: something like Purse.io for ebay
Post by: Amph on December 31, 2015, 06:19:31 PM
is there something like purse.io but for ebay? some times on amazon there is not what i'm searching for but there is on ebay, it would be ideal to save on thing bought on ebay

don't lead me to all4btc because their 5 fee on every item is ridiculous high, epsecially because i need some times to buy low cost things, and no gift cards

I see where you said no gift cards at the end, but I find Gyft.com to be the best solution for buying things on eBay with Bitcoin. The cards start at $10, but after that they go up in $5 increments, making it easier to not over-spend on a gift card. Also when buying cards with Bitcoin, you get 3x "Gyft Points", which you can use towards any future purchases. So if buying a $20 gift card with BTC, you get 60 points, which equals $0.60 off future purchases. Also, all of the eBay gift cards I've ever bought with BTC via Gyft have been available to use instantly.

Besides that though, I don't know of any services specializing in discounted eBay purchases like Purse.io does for Amazon. So if not wanting to go the gift card route, your best bet would probably be to post here on the forum for somebody to buy your desired eBay item with their CC/PayPal, and then pay them with your BTC. Although most people will want to tack on their own fees for doing that, so I think Gyft is better because you pay no fees and actually earn "cash back" in a way.

Gyft is US Ebay only as far as I know so that's not much use to anyone elsewhere. I'm not sure if any other Ebay other than the US does gift cards.
