Title: Need your opinion.

How you think , will it popular to offer ppl buy any goods using btc or alts ? Create website where ppl can paste links on items , name and shipping address, after they will  pay X amount of btc, just order this item, using real money and ship to their addresses.

If I understand you correctly you're proposing a similar business model as the business model of purse.io? Purse.io let's you order things on Amazon using bitcoin and someone else buys you the item with fiat. So if that's what you meant your idea isn't original so you either will have to drop the idem or you can become competition but it will be though.

I've seen a bunch of such projects. Suddenly these were "baits" of low-trust ICO's - they made shops with real items which you could purchase with their coin, so they raised hype around their project.
If you want to put you idea in reality - you firstly think about trustfullness and safety of your project - otherwise people will not send you any coin.

Actual Market doesn't support this kind of services although all the startups with the same vision (conquerence). At what case should i buy products with bitcoin when i can pay them with FIAT currencies and how this can be added to a blockchain?? BitPay is a nice example but he already invaded all the market with a good reputation via different parteners. Your idea is not original and should adding more value to your ideas.

I don't think it would be a good idea. I've used these services in the past, when it was much harder to buy things with Bitcoin, but now there's so many more solutions, i.e. Bitcoin debit cards, more sites accept Bitcoin, purse.io for amazon, stuff like that. I'm afraid you're probably about 3-4 years too late.

I can't understand it mate, what you are suggesting is first to make a market place(website) where people can buy goods with bitcoin and alt coins which is clear. This is like the service of https://www.openbazaar.org/

I've seen a bunch of such projects. Suddenly these were "baits" of low-trust ICO's - they made shops with real items which you could purchase with their coin, so they raised hype around their project.

Yeah it's like a gateway and theme of ICOs that they'll make their own marketplace, "used by many people and companies". But if it's different to that idea and its like a free market place where there does have variety and specific crypto's to accept I think it's possible.

There were projects and stores that are existing like this. You should search them through search engines and they'll pop up immediately.

I think he don't want to make his own project by the same projection with ICO's. He want to start his own business by this way and I think it's a good idea but there's too much competition already.

A similiar project has already been developed in some countries of South America, just go to Mr Google and search; enbitcoins.com
It will redirect you to a website in where you can pay in bitcoin / altcoins for your local money, it means that if you want to pay your bills, buy some clothes, or just pay for other stuff you can do it through bitcoins, but the seller is going to receive fiat money, it is very weird, but it works because i have a friend who has already used it.

Hm i'm on TenX now, but I don't see any actual shopping list there, do I see the shop, when I convert the currencies? Or it's just a converting system?

it is my understanding that you will be paying an additional fee to the centralized service that issued that debit card for you when using their services.
also you will not be using bitcoin, you are using a third party!

if there is a direct way of purchasing with bitcoin without anyone in the middle that would be 10000 times better than using a bitcoin debit card through a third party and pay them!

The fees are basically how their entire business model works. Of course there's a business behind those debit cards (if not they how would they keep the services up and running). This is obvioulsy not the best option, economically speaking, but it's the best bet we've got at the moment if you really want to spend bitcoin in real life. However if at some point bitcoin is massively adopted you won't be needing services like this and the only fee you'd have to pay is the regular bitcoin transaction fee.
