Its a good idea, but you will have to look out for people that want to scam you because that is also possible.
Another thing to keep in mind is if people will do this because people need to trust you fully because otherwise they will never do this.
At the end its a good idea you just need to work your idea out and need to build up contact and let people fully trust you so you will happy customers and can create a whole empire with customers.

It could be a good idea but you have to work it out due to the people that you want to attract with it, you should look up your real target.
Overall its a good idea because some people do not want to convert their bitcoins at all I think you also have to gain trust at people because otherwise they will do this.

I think it would be a great idea if the service will be automated and will include lots and lots of marketplaces which only accept fiat.
And you should concentrate on countries which don't have paypal

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?

Idea is not new and not so uncommon. We have seen many people trying to be retailers for people offering bitcoin as payment.
The problem however is that more and more services are capitalizing on this concept as well.

For PC games we have G2A directly accepting bitcoin with great deals and stability. There are some minor services like https://steambitshop.com/ offering the same.

For Amazon purchases we have Purse.io where you can save 15% on each deal etc.

For this idea to work you have to find another niche and products which are hardly available for bitcoin users.

Yeah like most of the things you need to find a niche and specialize in it.
Own the niche and you will make a big profit. Remember though eventually you will find another niche because other players will also step in.

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.
Of course so many people will use it in future. Because this is really amazing Idea. Accepting bitcoin and fiat is very good combination. But one suggestion. Do it for both situation. You are only sell with bitcoin and buy with fiat.

I think that this would be a good idea. I think a lot of people would pay you Bitcoin for games and stuff.

Overall the idea is not bad, still I see a few problems you should think about:
1. Risk - who will support the risk if between ordering and payment BTC price jumps or falls a lot?
2. Trust - you will have to find ways to make people trust you and your business. Usually that's not for free.
3. Price - people will use your service if they have a benefit. You'll have to offer good prices, else people will use other ways (for example BTC debit cards). If you have access to coupons you can use, then you have a business. Else you may just end up losing time and money.

Good luck!

I think its a good idea but you really need to work out otherwise you will not succeed, make sure you can be trusted that is one of the most important rules.
Because of the fact there are a lot of scammers you should have to be trust-able and make sure your buyers are also not scammers.

Yep. Just a few more tweaks and you will have yourself a really awesome strat. I think this will really payoff.

It will payoff but its of course a matter of time, you just have to be trusted for the people, maybe give some kind of vouch away so you can be reviewed as trusted, also be trusted with information about yourself.
It really helps people trust you because of that, some people do not trust something like this so there will also be people that stay away.

You can make those happen but the question is till where people will trust the money to you?If you suceed you will have some clients that may ask buy with you ,but why to dont exchange bitcoin at fiat and buy themselfes those?Before exchanges this service would had boom ,now i believe you can get some costumers but in the end you wont be doing nothing more then became busy with buy and send orders.

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?

Yes this is a good idea if you have a funds in paypal you can start buy goods if costumer wants to buy some thing in amazon or g2a
And payment is bitcoin use your funds in paypal as your money to buy in amazon and g2a and make sure use escrow to hold costumer's bitcoin before you buy things in amazon or g2a.. so that you are far in scammers..

bitcoin is flexible,as long buyer and seller know what bitcoin is,they not must be worry about value of that payment,its a good idea,keep support bitcoin and use it for investement or currency Smiley

good idea,some people here already do that,and its makes you have more ways to promote your product,its will increase your buyer from bitcoin holder and another people in this forum or around the world.

I buy for things that only accept real cash

And I receive Bitcoin

How is that not making sense?
I buy something for real cash (NOT AVAILABLE IN BITCOIN) and sell it with BTC to the user who wanted it.
Still not making sense?
