AMAZING!

Hopefully if this is successful they'll streamline the process some more.

I'm really astounded at how fast this happened.

Thanks for the news!  ;D

I used spendcoins.com (the link in the first post) and I've received tracking numbers and an amazon receipt.

That's pretty cool, but does it support Prime-style shipping? I'd really enjoy getting 3.99 an item one day shipping.

Not as far as I can tell. Though they might be using Prime and making a profit by charging you shipping anyways. At the rate I'm currently proxy buying things on Amazon, I am considering a prime membership.

He's been on the Selling board for a while.

People seem happy with it, but I have no personal experience.

(No, you can't use Prime because he ships it from his own account and Prime doesn't allow reselling.)

Be careful using prime, you aren't allowed to drop ship, you can get your account canceled. and theres no way to hide multiple ship to addresses.
