Title: Any "buy anything for BTC on the internet" services available?
Post by: Vitalik Buterin on April 14, 2012, 09:07:45 AM
I know that SpendBitcoins once had the "Buy Anything" option where you can point to a URL and they will buy the product for you and charge you in BTC. Does anyone know if such a service still exists?

 - http://www.bitcoinagents.com is a project suspended due to lack of interest, reportedly.  

Simply posting in the "Services" subforum something to the following effect:
 "Need buyer in [location] to buy and ship to [location]" and state an amount you are willing to compensate.

 - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

You should have no problem finding numerous options.

I'm still happy to do it for you as well. Just send an email to jeremyATspendbitcoins.com anytime for any special requests. The only reason we removed that option is that most people started just using paypal for this as it is still cheaper than what we were charging for the service and then you still have complete control over your order including tracking, returns, etc.

But again, I'm totally open to special requests and would happily add it back to the site if there is enough interest.

EDIT: We're also still looking for the best, cheapest, most reliable way to do reloadable debit cards (or even to be able to credit credit cards). We found a solution in Australia.

If anyone knows a good solution in the USA, please drop us a line.
