Title: Is ipayyou.io legit?
Post by: davis196 on July 13, 2020, 06:05:17 AM
A few months ago I discovered the website ipayyou.io.This website isn't popular at all,despite the fact that it has been around since 2016.I've seen a few positive reviews about the website,but the lack of popularity kinda makes me hesitant to try this service.Basically ipayyou.io is an alternative to purse.io.
Has anyone here used the website to sell amazon gift cards for BTC?Has anyone been scammed by this website? I would like to know your opinions.

Based on my 5 minute research, it doesn't seem like a scam. Most likely just a old service without a marketing team hence why only a small number of people right now know about it.

If I were you and you haven't found a more trustworthy alternative, I'd test it with a small amount($10 or $20).

Tried a little bit of research in terms of user reviews and fortunately I think I have found some legit rating at [1] https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/ipayyou/.

Lack of credibility, transparency. Customer service is very very poor. I was told my transaction would be on 7/13, but it actually arrived on 7/15 2 am EST. Because the delivery was late, I lost almost $100.00 since the bitcoin dropped. When I brought my complaints to their attention, they said there was nothing they could do. Full of corruption, deception, and dishonesty. I strongly recommend people not to do business with ipayyou because they're not accountable even when they made mistakes. Not even a half star in my view. Can't stress enough how BAD ipayyou is. I will SHOUT OUT to anyone who would listen before they think about doing business with this company.

The fees are high, the transactions can take days to complete, and the service is poor. One star for you!

Or see for yourself. Try buying at least $10.00 worth of giftcard or just stick with using bitrefill.

I’ve never heard of this site, but if you live in the USA and don’t feel safe using this site then you can use:

https://www.bitrefill.com/buy/amazon_com-usa/?hl=en

bitrefill has a great reputation, I don't live in the USA so I never tried this bitrefill service

The golden rule: When you buy gift cards, buy them from trusted sources.

It is suspicious and you have a lot of alternative options (Coinbee,BitRefill,...etc,)[1] so there is no reason to use them.
Since they are since 2016 and there are not many positive reviews for them, this is a bad sign.
They do not offer a lot of cards and most of them have a balance greater than $ 50, so there is no need for adventure.
They may sell stolen or hacked cards, so your account may be frozen, or you may face legal problems.
