The problem for such physical seller is the shipping works. In my country the cost of shipping worldwide is pretty much than the price of goods and the guaranteed to the integrality of goods is the considering, actually it can use an insurance but of course add an extra cost.
How you think? Are you interested?

No, I'm not.

I'm always interested to buy physical goods actually I just bought my new gaming headset for free shipping. If you think that shipping is a burden then just moderate the transactions that you are having out of your area. Just get the people closest to you or else you are going to add up and let the buyers shoulder the cost of shipping, just make it look that shipping is free but actually you are adding it to the original price of the goods that their buying.

Yes the statement above is right if you want to sell physical goods, then its not necessarily that you will have a shipping fee but make it free as tabas said. And give  particular area only if where do you have to ship it, if its only in EU or US area or both. Though I dont have the experience to buy physical goods with bitcoin but do I bought already just using paypal as it dont accept bitcoin yet and it delivers from out of our country so I waited 2-3 weeks before I get it.

Yes, I do transaction with this so many times but it is just a nation wide dealer, how do I feel with that, is it is nervous at first because I do not know whom I talked to, I do not know his identity or who ever is he, but when I had my first deal it results with my good trust to the website where I asked or order the product, shipping fee is a bit costly, but we have a minimum order where you can avail a free shipping fee, but I never try international shipping, I want to but yeah it is too much costly than the one you purchased.

If the physical goods would be within the same country or quite easy to ship it like within the European Union, that I can consider to be plausible. But having to ship international and would cost you so much that it would cost almost the same as the item itself, then I'd rather not buy anymore. Maybe if you are selling something really unique that I want, I could reconsider.

I had an experience in buying physical goods with Bitcoin though a group buying site. I was able to buy a laptop and a smart phone. There is no physical contact from the seller that happened. But you still cannot remain anonymous, since buying online requires you post your shipping address and name.

Buying a physical item overseas is not a good idea if you ask me because of the time frame given from originating point to terminating point. Sometimes 1 month of waiting for an item is not worth it.

Of course there will be people interested. Look at the darknet markets theres a whole lot of interested people right there. Also look at purse.io, they have a lot of users buying products from Amazon at a discount.

But if shipping will cost more than the product then you will have to raise your prices of tour products. So never mind. One incentive to use BTC in purse.io are the discounts. If I have to pay more, Id rather use cash.

To reduce the burden of high shipping cost I have a solution that if we buy bulk goods then we will pay a reduced amount as shipping cost and after getting that goods we have to resell them in our area or to the people in our area. You also can start a selling thread on this forum for your countrymates you will get some buyers if they will see that the seller is from their own country.

That is possible, but that is when you want to be a reseller. What if you are the only person who wants the physical goods and not really looking to resell it? Then the problem is back. You recommendation assumes that there is a great demand for the product to be bought, if it is unique to you only then there is no point in buying in bulk.

Shipping does not a matter to pay in bitcoin to buy a physical goods actually we need a fine seller who is best trust around the market to being in the business. If that is fine. Sure shipping cost no need to check and we can purchase physical items from anyone.

Yes indeed sent between countries takes a long time and the price is so great. To buy physical goods I was not interested to buy between countries because it would take a long time (I am include people who do not like to wait a long time) and cost is also be a problem even send and insurance price can be the same with price of goods. I am better for buy by going directly to the country, so can go on vacation too :D If have to use a shipping service maybe better to buy in nearest country, it will reduce costs.

I have been thinking of that idea before, yes it's can attract people because the shipping cost is free, but the problem is the cost itself is various for every country. Actually I can do an adjustments for put the price to "win-win" for a buyer and seller.


Relatively the shipping estimate here is not more than 2 weeks, except if you live in the corner of corner country which the access to there is difficult.

if you mean buying physical goods from another country, I do not like it. you are right that the shipping cost is higher than the price of the good itself. that's why I never buy any physical goods here. but if I find a seller from the same country, and I like the good, probably I will buy because the shipping cost is not too high and it is safer.

aren't. Insurance isn't always useful. Too hard to claim.

Shipping, tax, it will make me spend a lot of money rather than the price of the stuff.

I may pay double for the stuff. I don't ever feel secure for sending the physical goods from the outside of my country.

Agree on this one thats why i dont really bother to buy on other place because of the high shipment fee specially i do live in a far country from the east.
Buying on the same place will be the beast deal since you wont charge too much because of shipment.

Yes I also agree with you, and it really dont bother buying on other place and no shipment fees anymore is charged. Its much better for us to buy local good in the place near us since more people lived to the far places, and it will not make you spend a lot of money in purchasing it. You can actually help the economic growth of the businesses of those individuals who are selling physical goods.

This course will get to be a profitable investment. but when the goods are shipped then we have to accept all the risks that exist when the goods we receive. of course, we need to know the quality of the seller, so that we are right and feel secure in purchasing any goods we want. for me to buy goods from those who do not know then I would not be interested.

yeah right shipping cost too much, but my suggestion if you are planning to have shop online is to sell some thing that's not easy to buy to others, or the things that limited so that the customer wouldn't think the shipping cost. Like me, I'm one of the fans of rapper, they're shops sell some shirts that limited only, I will buy  even if the shipping fee is cost too much.
