Title: Buy anything on amazon.com (USA only) for $10 including shipping for 0.01 btc
Post by: twister on September 25, 2014, 03:55:38 AM
I got a $10 gift card balance in my amazon.com account and since I am not in usa, I can't buy anything because the shipment is too high. So If anyone wants to buy something from amazon.com for $10, I will buy it for them for 0.01 btc and have it shipped to their usa address. Let me know.

You save $6 doing this. Escrow is accepted. If you're a sr. member or above and trusted, I am willing to send first, and you can pay when you receive the product.

Just sell it here in the Digital Goods section if you want btc for it. You can move this thread there if you want at the bottom left. Just edit the title to reflect the changes.

No, you guys are not getting me, I had a gift card and I applied it to my amazon.com account and I can't buy another amazon gift card from that, so it's basically $10 in my account which I can't find a way to use.

May be somebody on here needs to purchase something from amazon which costs $10 including shipping and I can buy and send them and they can give me 0.01 btc, so it will be like $6 saving for them and I'll get something out of it.

Why can you not buy another gift card or even transfer the balance to another user? You can do what you're suggesting and offer to buy something for someone and get it shipped directly to them though. Make a listing or move this thread to Services if so.

I don't know much about amazon.com, seriously, when I tried to buy another gift card it doesn't gives option to use the gift card balance in my account. And it can't be transferred to other user account too.

This is their policy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201138990

Quote
Amazon.com Gift Cards can't be used to purchase other gift cards or applied to any order containing another gift card. You'll need to provide a credit card, debit card, or other valid payment method to pay for the order if you have gift cards in your Shopping Cart. Amazon.com Gift Cards can't be transferred to another account once the claim code has been redeemed. Amazon.com Gift Cards and Third-Party Gift Cards aren't returnable or refundable, except as required by law.

I'll move this thread to services. Thx

I just had another idea, Can anyone put up some bitcoin to be sold on amazon.com in digital goods section, let's say put up 0.01 btc for $10 and I will buy that and you can send me bitcoin to my addy and you will have $10 in your amazon.com account?

Is someone selling bitcoin on amazon? Put up a listing to sell 0.01 for $10 in the digital goods section and I'll buy it.

I'm an Amazon seller. There is no "digital goods section".

Can't one put up a listing here: https://www.amazon.com/yourdigitalitems ?

I don't know much about amazon.com selling. But if you want you can put up a listing at any section and I'll buy 0.01 for $10. They're just sitting there in my account and I can't find anything to buy for $10.

Or you can put up anything for $10 with your amazon seller account and I'll buy it and say product delivered and you can give me 0.01 here?  :-\

No. To sell digital goods, you need to go through hell with API, developer account, separate accounts. Also a seller risks account termination and at the least, payment reversal, if trying to sell BTC as a physical good. There is no "say product delivered" that Amazon requires buyers to do. They will just assume that the product was delivered if the seller marked it as shipped, until...

a dispute and/or fraud, then Amazon will request proof of delivery, and effectively only signature confirmation restricted delivery to the name on the Amazon account will let the seller win.

And even if someone were to risk their account and payment reversal over this, the least fee'd section for sellers would require a $3.01 sales price+$6.99 shipping, incurring $2.69 in fees, and giving the seller $7.31 of your $10.

More trouble than worth.

I understand. So buying bitcoin through amazon idea is out. I guess I am just stuck with it now. Until I deposit more or get more GC, I can't get it out.

So someone told me it's possible to transfer GC balance to other accounts. Does anyone knows anything about that? I'll transfer $10 GC balance to your account for 0.01.

I also had 10$ on my amazon.com account and didn't know what to order, because postage to Europe is usually 13-18$, so I found this seller ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=&seller=A3TD26FQW63E6C ) who has free shipping even to my small country. So I bought 8gb usb, wifi mouse and usb audio card for 10$. Then I sold mouse and usb card each for 5€ so I got 10€ + usb key from 10$  :D
