I think that would be a good idea. Even I would buy some games or products from you. Maybe.

Your Idea seems to be pretty good.
Especially for a site like eBay

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.

Your Idea seems to be pretty good.
Especially for a site like eBay

Thanks for the feedback guys! The more feedback I get - the more I am thinking about actually doing this.

Sounds good to me, but you'll have to establish trust with you users. Escrow and a rating/feedback system would be a great start.

If I were you I would start this out on the forums here and then move to a website and/or larger scale if all is successful. Though this may become obsolete once even more merchants jump on the bitcoin bandwagon.

I think its a good idea but it has some risks.
I think you have to be careful.
There are a lot of scammers that scam you and you can lose a lot of money with it.

I was thinking the same. But don't you think that anything to do with Bitcoin can turn around and scam you? Like exchanges are still new, I think you could only trust them after 20+ years.

Yes it has to be more secure for people so more people can do it, now its still a big risk for people that do it. Maybe in the future there will be a system for scammers.

I think the only way it would work is by using escrow. Having a trusted middleman could work.

I think its a good idea but its what people are already say a bit risky because there are a lot of scammers nowadays. If you can work out your idea it will be pretty nice and also nice to have.

Ejarwan (on this forum) is doing the same thing with Steam. You'll have to give discounts like him, because people will simply use their PayPal account. You need an incentive for people to use bitcoin, and a discount does just that.

Then what's the point? I am doing this because for someone like me, I don't earn fiat money yet. I am still studying.
So I have Bitcoins to spend.

But I do have fiat which is why I would like to do this.

I think it's a great idea.  It would just have to be set up carefully so that people can trust that you will actually buy what they want when they send you BTC.  I'm assuming you would charge a fee or something to make a profit?  I like the idea from the consumers point of view, but it sounds like it would be a headache to run (from you point of view).

I would make it non-profit. If I see it becoming a 'heavy' job then I might hire some helpers Smiley But that would result in charging fees :/

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?

i dont think this good idea,not all people want to use escrow,they have better use cash without escrow,but if you do transaction with trusted and maybe your friends,i dint think its matter,

Some escrow services are free and do not charge fees on this forum.
Escrow list can found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0

Maybe I should have created a poll :/ XD

It can be a good idea, but the problem is that most people can easier pay with real money than with bitcoin, so I think for the most people this idea is useless.
Because how do you got your whole bitcoin most people payed for it.

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.

Not but at all the buyer will not care how you purchase the stuff as long as the products or the stuffs he ask to buy is really what stated on your store if you have one or  description ,you need a site for that and if you are going to do it here you need a good reputation or trust grade

Nah. People who aware of bitcoin and who has wallet they will not go with fiat to pay for anything. Because we know How bitcoin is easier than fiat in many ways. People who doesn't know about bitcoin, They don't have any option to pay due to that only fiat currency is working with common people.

Its a pretty good idea but I do not know how many people will use it in the future.
It will take some time to work out this idea, but it can work for sure no doubts about that.
