Hey guys,

I'm considering building a site which allows people to cash out bitcoins for Amazon e-gift cards. The service would transact instantly, as soon as I receive a verified payment, the user would receive an email with the amazon gift card code.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Does this seem like a good service for the community?

Yeah if it works for Amazon.co.uk as well as the other European Amazon URL's.

Sounds like a most excellent idea.

Thanks guys,

I've put in quite a lot of work, and the site is almost ready. I'll be releasing it soon! Keep an eye out during the next week.

How would the transaction be instant? I would guess it would be by selling set values of gift cards (like $25, $50, $100)?

What kind of fees would you charge?

I believe there's already a website for amazon gift codes.  However, it only works for amazon.com, not any of its other sites.

http://btcbuy.info/  This should be it.  I haven't used it yet, so I can't give it an aye or nay.

Cool thanks for the information guys. Our first iteration is going to include Amazon giftcards, however we will be adding other types of gift cards shortly after.

Another question I have is:

What would be the ideal way for you guys to send bitcoins? Do most people feel comfortable using the client, or do some people use wallet services? I'm exploring the idea of building OAuth integrations with the major wallet providers to allow payment without leaving the site.
