Would this be a good idea?

[expert4knowledge]

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?

it seems very good idea, just please let me know two things: 1. What is your  rate for doing these and for example if we want to buy a 10$ item how much do you charge us? 2. Do you want to work only here or run a website for this?

I think g2a.com accepting bitcoins right now via bitpay.. try this link for those who need it
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3p546v/online_gaming_giant_g2a_starts_accepting_bitcoin/

Yes, however the guy is saying that he wants to buy things from many websites, do you think how much is their charge?

Much has changed since your thread started. You now can use bitcoin with those places.

You can still be of help , not all places take bitcoin yet. Maybe if you can find some things people are interested in you can offer similar or the same items but in bitcoin. If you sell game keys then you can collect links from different sites that don't accept bitcoin yet. They can be from any site that gather's enough interest.

I think there are a lot of third party escrow ready to be if you want to conduct a transaction. but for sites like amazon I think they trusted sites that you do not need to wear escrow

I think that it would be pretty good idea, just you should use escrow

He is already acting as an intermediate between the transaction so it is obviously very risk.if you add escrow to it then it becomes more complicated.

Just keep in your mind that people can cheat you.

Some people are buying things using a credit card, and then calling their credit card company to cancel the transaction, or even worse, some people are purchasing items over the internet with a stolen credit card, and then the real owner chargebacks and you stay without the money and without the product.

You should make the price higher due to those risks in my opinion

I think the idea is possible but as more and more merchants accept bitcoin and there are more ways to circumvent the limitations that we may have in the use of bitcoin I think this business is going to dry up.

Yes, its possible idea and i thinks this business won't dry up as long as you are a positive person and open minded in dealing through those merchants. Patience is the key towards succesful business.
Don't be discourage on situation that provokes you negative vibes.

Thats a good idea,but I think that you should get yourself a good escrow that people trusts in order to gain some trust from your customer.

A decent escrow does not cost a lot today,and you can end up paying less then 10$ a month for a trusted service.

Yes this is a good idea, and something like this can work. I will suggest one thing too you, look for discounts! For real cash you can find stores with high discount, in that way you can find cheap things, sell them for little higher price and everyone will be satisfied.
Just for this I think you need to be well informed about discounts in your town and close shopping malls. Maybe you will need to wait in lines to buy something cheaper that others wish. Where are you from, do you have some black Friday close to you?
I think in some countries there is good prices for some things, they are much cheaper then in mine. You can make this work if you make a good effort.

[Mastsetad]

Idea is not bad at all, i'm sure you would get a lot of customers if you open a service on this forum offering this, because i have seen a lot of people wishing to buy things from sites but the sites were not accepting bitcoins, so if you can do this for them it would be a good news for them.

[ipanks]

i think its a good idea and for now you can do with a help from third party website like purse.io and else. beside that, it will be a good too for bitcoin itself. but if you don't need help from third party, then you should consider to make integrated between other site to your site.

Good idea? No doubt! I personally would love to have a deal with someone like he buys me something with dollars and i pay him with bitcoins the same amount or just a bit extra for his commission because most of the times i don't get to buy things because they are not sold for bitcoins and i don't have any other payment processors.

There are many online businesses accepting bitcoin but I do not like making payment with bitcoin on any website that accept bitcoin payment through Bitpay because encounter lots of issues with them. The best service you should consider is the one that accept bitcoin payment through coinbase,that is always great.

[Qunenin]

I think it is a good idea, may be it work but it depend on people, but letter bit i can't understand, i think you wanna tell, that if we do some trasaction, then you accept only fiat and give us on bitcoins. I mean, i will pay you fiat currency and you will give us bitcoin, Right?

THere already ways to do this for the bigger websites like amazon etc though you amde this post in 2015 but even today you can offer a service where you will buy anything anyone wants from anywhere and they can simply pay you in bitcoin. You will need escrows and profiles and things for people as well as to foward all needed details like tracking numbers .

is is better Ideal and some use this think in sites like Bitify   you can check it

Ok so why am I using you when I can use my own cash? Or find a site that accepts btc. Or if you try to get btc using a swap. You will be less risky, Bitcoin is becoming more popular now and is accepted in many sites / stores / etc ... But there are still many things that you can not buy with Bitcoin.
But it's just an idea .. Thanks!

It is good to keep bitcoin and if you have the potential to increase the power of the bitcoin is through making it popular among the users. Through this a lot of new people will get to know about bitcoin and they will find it easy to use. So it will be good to increase the users of the bitcoin because through this the price of the bitcoin will increase and the profit will be double.

If he’s trying to work as an escrow, I don’t think it would really be possible, because there are already lots of escrow services around; a difficult job to start up. Some people now prefer going to sites like Bitpremier to purchase straight, but I wouldn’t do such.

I would prefer using my bitcoin to purchase an Amazon gift card which I can then use to buy whatever I need from their store.

Whole system is based on trust i think. Not very appealing.
