After a long conversation with a payment gateway provider, I've decided to go ahead and create a service to accept credit and debit cards in exchange for bitcoins. With a maximum monthly purchase of 0.5 BTC. This will be exclusively available for the UK.
I am also adding mobile carrier billing. This will be available to the UK, North America, and Canada.
I don't know what the rules are regarding endorsement here, so I can't say much else.
I'll tell you an amazing service that used to exist but stopped.
Snapcard.io is currently a wallet website, but used to be something completely different.
It has a bookmarklet which you could click on any webpage and then choose an item on the page that you wanted to buy.
It would take you to a snapcard.io payment page where you would pay the price of the item + a small fee. They would have a wide array of payment methods available and would hence buy the item for you and accept your BTC.
It was just amazing. It would work for anything, steam wallet, amazon, ebay, etc. And would allow you to spend Bitcoin on pretty much any online site without them accepting Bitcoin.
If you can somehow create a service like this again, I'll be your first customer
I love this idea, send me a PM explaining it please. I don't know how else that would be done other than issuing a voucher in exchange for bitcoins.
Thanks!
