Title: Cashout BTC for NewEgg or Amazon purchase
Post by: alexmat on June 13, 2012, 03:40:21 AM
Selling NewEgg gift card codes and Amazon gift card codes. I can also buy something off your amazon wish list.

Accepting BTC in exchange. PM me if interested.

Wishlist would work better  :)

You should just sell gift cards/codes like this guy: https://www.spendbitcoins.com/convert/amazon/

Much easier for the buyer, much easier for you, and nobody has to give you their address and bug you for status updates.

Of course, it's hard to beat 0 fees on amazon, but if you're doing it to get ahold of bitcoin, then you can probably match him.  Also, you should be able to beat him on newegg giftcards since he seems to only offer newegg thorough paypal, which does have fees.

Wishlist buying means the other person buys it, and person with the wishlist get ls all the status updates and a email that a item that something on their wishlist was purchased.

Didn't know that.  Still, giftcodes seem easier.

Both seem like good options. Thanks for the insight. I'll update the topic.

can you still get the prime shipping with a wishlist?

Yes, it is shipped with the prime status of the purchaser, not the recipient. Unfortunately, terms of service for Prime don't allow use for resale. I think it's fine for person-to-person small time barter-style purchases, but I'm pretty sure you'd get in trouble doing it with any high volume business.

In that case since I have prime, it will get utilized even though it is linked to my address?

Yes, when you purchase an item off another person's wishlist, you will get your prime shipping rate even though you're shipping to their address.

Awesome. Not really a policy issue yet. My volume is pretty low on these kinds of transactions, and most are for electronic gift cards. But a nice added perk in case anyone want's to use the wishlist.
