Would this be a good idea?

[Equinoxx]

I have funds outside of Bitcoin, do you think a service where I buy for things that only accept real cash i.e https://g2a.com, amazon.com or anything else. And I receive Bitcoin?
Obviously escrow can be used, or people can pay upfront, whatever the case is.

Bottom line, is this a good idea?

Not sure if I get exactly what's your idea but if you will be accepting fiat money from CCs, Paypal and even cash, you should be very careful about scammers.

If it is the other way around, then I think it's much easier and definitely a good idea, just make them pay upfront as you said and it should be no problem. The only issue I see is that I'm not sure how many people will use your service. If they already have Bitcoin, they surely got it by purchasing it via CCs, bank accounts, etc.

No no, I accept fiat and sell in BTC. For example if you wanted a game from g2a.com you could give me the BTC and I buy with fiat and we do a transaction like that.

G2A.com is accepting Bitcoin since October I suppose : https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3ohqe7/gaming_giant_g2a_now_accepts_bitcoin_through/
and for Amazon , people prefer to use purse.io since they will get % off the price , however if you are willing to include other websites and services on the net then yes why not .. I guess it would be a good idea !

It could be a good idea. I will see if there is any attraction. I will make a poll or something. I will let this thread go on and see if people like it or nah.

As I said, if there is more attraction I wouldn't mind doing this.

This is definitely a good idea. Ever since Humble Bundle stopped allowing people to buy with bitcoin in the Humble Store I'm been a little pressed for games. You should offer this as soon as possible!

I used to buy from Humble years ago! I hadn't a clue the were still around. Maybe I'll make a post having a few sites that I use.
Right now the attractions are: eBay and Humble Bundle. Please suggest more guys!

g2a already accepts Bitcoin as a form of currency

It is going to be a great idea for there are several merchants who do not accept btc and if you provide a service like this,people who want to pay with bitcoin,will find your service very handy

This is the definition of a confirming house.

A confirming house is a specialised UK agency that purchases and arranges the export of goods on the behalf of overseas buyers. They finance the movement of goods into the country by offering short-term credit to importers and guaranteeing, or confirming, payment to the suppliers in the suppliers own domestic currency.

You could make an extra profit by buying goodsthat are local to your country, and exporting them for Bitcoin payments. Maybe you shouldn't offer the credit though.

So let me get this straight, I want game/toy/whatever X for $20 I send you $20 worth of btc and you buy it for me?


Ok so why would I use you when I can use my own cash? Or find a site that accepts btc.

Or if your trying to get btc use a exchange. You will be at far less risk

[DebitMe]

You can do this over at purse.io.  People list what they want from amazon and you can go and use your credit card to purchase it for them and they pay in bitcoin.

Yes that is the right idea.

Ok so why would I use you when I can use my own cash? Or find a site that accepts btc.

I know so many people on this forum that doesn't use PayPal / Skrill but for example wants something like that. I know a lot of people that earn Bitcoin but not real cash.
Finding a site that accepts btc... Yes Bitcoin is becoming more popular now and being accepted in a lot of new sites / shops / etc... But there are still A LOT of things that you can't buy with Bitcoin.

Or if your trying to get btc use a exchange. You will be at far less risk

Using an exchange is very impracticable and I see more exchanges being done on this forum.

But thanks for commenting and adding to the topic. In the op you would've seen that I said this is just an idea.

That covers one website; amazon.com. What about other sites? For example some sites that I USE that I would like to accept bitcoin would be:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/
https://teespring.com/

And mentioning online clothing, I don't see a lot that accept Bitcoin. But it's just an idea.. Thanks!

[Jeremycoin]

This is a good idea, and I think you should do this on a site that sells real things. Because nowadays, people can easily buy a digital goods with Bitcoin but not for real goods.

[bitbaby]

I don't see anything wrong with this. The biggest obstacle would be getting people to trust you or your site but maybe escrow can help with that.

But if you do decide to do this then have a request section there too where people can request things to be ordered which are not available to be ordered with bitcoins.
