Bitcoin Forum

Hello guys, I want this to be told in a short story.

I made a balance of 0.022btc that is equal to 14 USD ($14)

And now I want to purchase something from Amazon but I am stuck with days..

Purchasing with cryptocurrency is not possible after all..

If I could somehow purchase from amazon with bitcoins it would be so nice..

I tried buying gift card, it doesn't work in my country where I come from.


Tried Purse.io, I don't understand the concept and yet you have to wait for somebody to buy the thing, while you give him your bitcoins, so I understood that method as a trade. He buys your item, you give him the BTC..

It would be awesome if there is after all something that is a BTC shop..

There was a site all4btc,  but it appears that as many positive reviews, there are double more negative reviews, so I don't want to risk what little i have.

So, please help me how can I purchase through Ebay or Amazon using bitcoins. Please help me. Ty.

I don't think that you would be able to buy anything directly using bitcoin on ebay or amazon as they have not yet started to accept bitcoins as a mode of payment so then only option left for you is to sell them and exchange for fiat and buy the using COD method.

Ye but that's the thing. Where to sell my bitcoins..  Any good site recommendation?

This is the main issue with Bitcoin.
Very few places actually accept them. Its only very select things that you can spend them on.
As more sites accept BTC and more companies transfer coins to Fiat, that is what will increase the value.

Spendbitcoins used to sell Amazon gift cards so easily. It took more time to make a cup of coffee than it did to buy coffee beans on Amazon. Too bad they're gone now.

All the best Bitcoin services are gone now. I don't think there is anyone left that sells Amazon gift cards for btc.

If i were you i will use those smaller amount to top up my mobile balance as it is easier way to spend bitcoins and there are many sites which allow toping up mobile with bitcoin. One of my favourite is bitrefill.com and their price and fee also seems quite cheaper.

But if you like to purchase things in ebay, amazon you can have bitcoin debit card attached to your paypal account and shop wherever paypal is accepted.

I think purse.io that can help you.. about your problem.. better to contact their support so that they can guide you to buy in amazon using bitcoin.. i never heard other way jsut try it to contact the support of purse.io

Send Elwar a message, he has a list of shit load of places to spend your bitcoin's. Loads of places accept bitcoin, you just need to be pointed in the right direction.

You can use purse.io to purchase through amazon but it may take few time for you to understand how their system works. I haven't used purse personally but there are good reviews regarding them and are trusted by many.

They can probably do it for him but he said he don't understand how they do it and he is right that they take too much time as you will have to wait for someone to buy you the thing from amazon and then they ship it to you.

Yeah bitcoin can be used in purse.io to purchase via in amazon products but exception is there on that also. You can able to purchase bitcoin related products only in purse.io. I expect bitcoin to be accepts for various products in amazon.

It's unfortunate you can not get what you looking for but I would suggest using coinizy debit card very easy to use and load with Bitcoin and probably will make your online shopping much easier 🚀🚀

Its a great issue that most of online sites and companies dont accept Bitcoin.Microsoft and  few other companies have just started accepting Bitcoins. Bitrefill accepts Bitcoin for recharging mobile.The reason for why most companies dont show interest in accepting bitcoins is its price is highly unstable.

Try this do you have coinbase. if you dont have coinbase make your coinbase account now put your balance or bitcoin in coinbase and go to purseio to join and signup after that you can see coinbase signup. and just allow it.. after that you will registered and you can now search what item you one in search engine and just addcart and procceed to checkout..  i hope it can help more

Purse.io either is now or could be abused by online credit card/Amazon account scammers (I'd be very surprised if it hadn't happened yet so far)

1. Steal credit card or Amazon account
2. Register the card/account with Purse.io
3. Use stolen card/account to make a deal on Purse.io
4. Receive BTC
5. Profit

Card holder/Amazon user complains they got robbed, and the Purse.io user on the Amazon-goods side of the deal are the party who has to return the item they "bought". And of course, their BTC won't be coming back.

I think purse.io can help you in this, When I buy something from amazon using purse.io, I get some discount so I think that it is better to use purse.io rather than directly paying through bitcoin which is impossible as of now.

If you are having problems, I think you should contact their support team  ;)

It will depend on the country that you are living, I am from India and for me the best place to sell my bitcoins is on localbitcoins as there are trusted traders and will transfer fiat to your bank account within 10 minutes and it goes risk free.

Try to sell your bitcoins, you can do it by a exchange or via P2P(use escrow always)

Or just go on Steam and buy a game! That's why I love Steam.

You also can try to find more sites that sell things and accept bitcoin, don't know where you live btw...

with this amount you can either go to deepweb using a tor network or simply spend it for some cloths choise is yours but i can try the deepweb now ;)

Your right only purse.io but the problem i never experience it yet if he wants to try it out using coinbase maybe he can get some answer and if where he stuck..  i saw that you can checkout the product you want and give your address i dont know the next about that because maybe it can conflict in my coinbase account i dont want my account to be connected to any apps online like purse.io that can drain my wallet..

I share your frustration... I am a bookworm, and I would love to buy books {eBooks} directly from Amazon. I have to jump through

different methods to buy books on Amazon. { I never use my credit card online anymore} We will just have to stand together and keep on

asking. { With enough demand, they might just change their minds }  ::)

Its a bit of a hassle having to take an extra step, but you can buy Amazon Gift cards from Gyft.com with BTC. And from there, gift card > book

you can use your bitcoin in buying a prepaid card that can be loaded with btc and then you can buy whatever you want. these cards does not need any verification for small amounts

Just keep collecting. The more you collect, the better. Don't get confused with the current price. It means nothing. (I take it you don't need 14 bucks immediately right now) Hold/collect them a few years more and only then collect profits. If bitcoin's price go down, don't get frustated. It is a buy opportunity. It dropped to 300, 200 and even 102 in the past, look what's the price now. In the long term it can only go up because the supply is limited and there will always be demand for bitcoins (till it gets hacked which is practically impossible) because there isn't any easier way to carry your money overseas.

But these places can not beat Amazon or eBay for they have huge inventory of products available.It is said bitcoin has not yet made its way into these sites but hope it will soon.In the mean time I suggest Op to convert his btc to fiat and stick buying with traditional boring methods

Which country do you live? It quite easy to sell your coin, there are plenty of exchangers that could be convert your btc to fiat money.
Usually, for beginners recommended to join bitcoin community (there is in every country) that can help you about this, just search it in Facebook, you can get there.

Based on your current predicament that needs solution, I would suggests the easy way out since you needed to get something with it and which is just convert to Fiat and get whatever you want to get in the shop beside you and if you are at something else to do with it, then there are several among which include donating it for a project, trading with it to make more, another is gambling with which you could make more or lose all and also you can just forget about the whole thing..

It is still very early days for bitcoin if i was you i wouldn't be in such a rush to sell, hold for a while and maybe get some more the day will come when you will be able to use bitcoin anywhere, but its not ready for that yet.

yeah, there also used to be  website called brawker but it's gone now. I'd suggest you to go to the marketplace section and offer someone to buy it for you with fiat currency and then you send them the btc. There can hardly be a site as brawker because they'd have to use the higher fees and that wouldn't be that much profitable for the buyer/seller and if they use none or low, they might end up losing money and closing the business.

No need through cod methods, he wanna use their money to buy in online such as ebay or amazon.
Change his bitcoin into dollars is enough to buy in these. Dollars is acceptable in most popular online stores.

I guess, exchange into a fiat currency and trying for tell you a close person who are using the online store like amazon and ebay for buying your interesting goods. your amount is too little for doing the other ways.

Much better to collect more that is was too little to exchange into fiat but if you have something need to purchase i think it is good to exchange into fiat and go to the store then there you made the transaction.

i prefer to collect for first and after you collect much of bitcoin, then you can withdraw it and then you can buy product you want in amazon. because for $14 equal in btc is little amount to exchange into fiat, better you save it into your wallet.

Here is the thread with the list and reviews of common places to use your bitcoins:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=943143.0

A good blog is http://www.bitcoinspender.com

If you could be a bit more specific about what sort of things you want to buy, we could maybe help you find appropriate stores that accepts Bitcoin directly. There are plenty of places where you can buy stuff with Bitcoin like for electronics you can check out Overstock and Newegg. Or you can just sell your Bitcoins for PayPal or Skrill on LocalBitcoins.com and then buy from Amazon or eBay.

Thanks all for sharing such valuable information . It was also needful for me .

Iguess you do not have sufficient funds to buy goods on ebay or amazon would be better if you use for others like to trade altcoin.

Amazon doesnt accept bitcoins as a method of payment till now and many others also.The only one which is bit popular is purse.io which accepts bitcoins but i think you are new in that and not able to understand that how it works.May be you should read a guide of how to use purse.io or in youtube or just contact their support and they will help you in this.

Lol, you can hold it or you can buy anything you want if you have enough money for it. Just look for it on google or ask here on forum, maybe someone can sell you stuff.

What do you like? Games, cloths, accessories? There are a lot of things you can buy. BTC is money, and money buy almost anything.  :D

I think what you can do is to get an online prepaid credit card where you can reload it using bitcoins. I had one once, I forgot the name. I believe I also found it in this forum. I'm not sure if amazon does accept prepaid credit card. Or you can try linking the prepaid credit card to a paypal account then use your paypal to buy things. I hope this helps you OP!

Yes bitcoin is money and you can buy anything with money,but sadly there are not much places where bitcoin is accpeted as a means of payment.
One advice from me would be to collect more and reach 0.1btc and then buy a physical bitcoin with that,from the collectibles section in this forum.

it is up to you that what you want to do with your bitcoin, i think the better option is to hold it for price increase.

i think you should invest your bitcoin in alt coins you can make a good profit there if you have some experience of trading.

If you don't want to take any risk then its better to hod them till the end of the year as majority of users are hoping that price will rise at that point so if you sell them then you can make good profits from it.

This is the best way to do  ,as he mentioned  ebay and amazon  doesnt  accept directly bitcoin as payment . Since  it isnt  available as of now  then the last  best way  is  to convert directly you bitcoin to fiat by  your local wallet  provider you could able  to exchange it.

As far as I know there are ways to buy in amazon using Purse.io but I have not tried it yet because I have a big problem with the shipping fee in our country, it is too expensive and I was thinking that I would rather cash out my bitcoins and my in our local store physically.

if you are buying amazon card i think amazon is not full developed that they can really accept bitcoin as payment method did you try into another online shop that accept bitcoin except this two website? just read the mechanics first and the rules and regulation for the payments.

The ones who are not willing to invest or to take any kind of risk has no other way then holding them and waiting for the price to increase and give them a chance to get some profits out of it, and if after waiting the price dropped a bit instead of growing then they would be responsible themselves for it but they should not blame bitcoin for that.

Purse.io:

Go to http://www.purse.io and click the "sign up" button in the top right.

Click "Sign up with Facebook"

Go to http://www.amazon.com

Search for what you want to buy. Find a product.

Click "add to wishlist".

Click "View wishlist".

Copy URL of wishlist.

Go back to purse.io and paste the URL into the search box.

Set the percentage of discount you want.

Click the "Submit Order" button.


Wait for your order to arrive.

When it arrives, go back to purse.io, Click the "Order arrived" button. Rate the transaction.

It will depend on an individual what he wants to do with his coins, if he can afford to take risk then better place to grow them is by trading and if he wants to play safe then simply hold them and wait for the price rise.

you are only confused with the purse.io
this is best site for exchange of gift card and goods exchange at cheat price of bitcoin .
so first of all again try with purse.io if you didn't comes to about it in better manner than you should directly sell you btc to the trader ( if you are looking for trusted trader than i can tell you at lbc) and make puechase with fiat .
i hope this will work.

Every individual have their own thoughts i hope many people will do trading and grow their bitcoin, other way is you hold the bitcoin till price increases.

Yes you are right every human raise had individual thoughts and there are always thinking on what there are going to do first make sure that he really do some research to have extra knowledge about bitcoin and also in trading like what he wants in life like growing bitcoin there are no safe method ofcourse there always a risk.

I'll buy them from you hehe :) $10 for it?

Yes, its up to him to do what he thinks most appropriate investment, storing or giving it out for free to anyone thats wants to take. In case the op wants to give it out for free I will be among those to accept it, please put me in the list I am waiting to hear response from you. just joking. Personally I like to suggest to hold for long term.

Once OP get use to the things that are going on here in the forum later, this guy won't even ask what to do with his btc but simply buy or invest some to some coins. He seem to be genuinely newbie.

I think this thread should be close or lock because op is not replying right now and i think his problem was solve and get his item from amazon already using purse.io..  its not hard to buy item in purse.io, the good they are giving rebate.

Its up to you if want you want to do with your bitcoin.But first you really do some research
to have major major extra knowledge.

Well, bitcoin is the right platform to earn.You can do trading with your btc but you need good skills for that.And another way to earn is holding btc and wait for the price go up.when btc price hit a good number then sold your btc.

Those are the major way to use in earning more bitcoins with the bitcoin you already have mentioned. It is very important that you also know the tricks to use in trading before you fully take it as that can be a little bit challenging if we enter any prior experience, mock trading would be the key here.

One way I have managed to purchase items from Amazon with bitcoin is by using a vcc, I use cryptopay, it costs $/£/€2.50 initially and it is like a normal bitcoin wallet but you can use it as a credit card to purchase goods from Amazon.

$14 isn't that much. I would recommend you to join a signature campaign and try to earn from there and double your money. It's really easy, and you can do that in just a few weeks and buy something more useful maybe. Otherwise, I don't know. You can try to trade it.

This should help: http://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2014/02/17/how-to-use-bitcoin-to-shop-at-amazon-home-depot-cvs-and-more/

The only possible way i heard about buying things from amazon using bitcoin is purse.io, but their system is quite complicated, first you need to make sure if amazon ships the item in your place and then you should place your order according to what purse.io tells you, and then if a buyer accepts your offer and buys you the thing then that will be shipped to you, so in case if you don't get a buyer, your order will just remain an order in purse.io.

I do  heard  about this  kind  of transaction which  been  offered   by a  local wallet provider   on a certain country which is a  little bit  hassle   to use  this  kind   of  transaction which you would  fully rely   to a  person   if he would able  to  buy a certain  thing from  amazon  which could  definitely  charge you even  more  on   fees and   shipment fee.  Adoption  is  not  fully widespread    to a certain country which  we could able   to spend  directly  our bitcoins.

Besides spending bitcoins directly, we should atleast have a bitcoin marketplace where we could buy our desired thing and paying directly with bitcoin for it as we do on amazon and many other marketplaces online, if that service would have been announced by someone then i'm sure it would get a great success among bitcoin community, but only if it supports international shipping.

I think you should exchange that Bitcoin to dollars then use it to purchase what you want and were ever you want it.

That's a very simply way a good suggestion, you are one of kind man, you are suggesting someone to spend his bitcoin by buying things he want while most of us here suggesting to put it on investment.

You can do many thing to increase your bitcoin.Firstly do trading if you have a good knowledge and skills then you can start.It will give you good profit in quick time.Again,if you don't wanna do trading then you can just hold it for couple of days cause bitcoins price is increasing.

Yeah if he don't possess the knowledge of trading then its better not to risk with coins by investing it there and instead its better to simply hold them as price has started to rise now and we can expect much higher price as we get closer to the end of the year so only holding can also bring good profits for him in future.

but i think no need to exchange it in dollar and specially in present time when the price is increasing continuously, i think it is the  best time to hold bitcoin for some time and hope that it will give you a good profit.

You can do many things to increase your bitcoin.
The most common thing is to do the trading if you have sufficient knowledge and skills then you can start now. You can also earn if you know how to trade well.

There are still a lot of sites that allow you to purchase items with Bitcoins. Two of the bigger online retailers that accept bitcoin are Newegg & Overstock

You can definitely find something to purchase there!

Let your BITCOIN grow.
Dont be in a hurry to use them now.  Let them grow first. Invest and buy more and then learn trading.
You may use your bitcoin to trade other cryptos...

Wait till there are more establishments that accept BTC.

Though growing bitcoins is good but maybe if he is having just a small amount he wont be able to grow it a lot as if you have a bigger amount it will be easier to grow it with the time.


Just checked Overstock and found it really expensive, the things that we get here in really cheap rate are there with really expensive rates.

when i was new i also faced similar problems so insted of trying to find a way to buy from btc i first saw what they are accepting and then i first converted my bitcoins into that currency then i bought it.or else you can simply withdrawl the btc into a bank ac and then shop from there

That is a good point that you need to grow it first. since the price of bitcoin is increasingly fast.. so better to save it and grow it.. or invest more before its late that the price will increase more because of segwit added..

try to use itwell by investing in loan site like bitbond coinbase

I had that problem as well and got me a virtual creditcard.
One of those where I can upload my coins, and they convert them into fiat for me so that I could use them for every kind of online purchase I want.
I am relatively sure there are plenty of those cards offered in the marketplace here.

i think you have the right to do any thing with your bitcoin as you are the owner of your own bitcoin and i will like to tell you that if you invest your bitcoin in some good potential alt coins, you can make even good money there.

You could change the Bitcoin to PayPal and then spend it on Amazon and other sites. It is a shame that many sites do not accept Bitcoin as payment. However, there is a site that I have used before and they accept Bitcoins. I have found all the products that I had been looking for and the quality and price was good overall. I have the provided the link, here-below:
