Isn't this project... OpenBazaar?

Nope, OpenBazaar is a decentralized market place, where this guy wants to create a site similar to Amazon that is centralized. Sites like this are prone to fail, because centralized services needs a lot of money to succeed. They come under constant attacks, because they are a HoneyPot for hackers to compromised people's accounts.

Good luck OP, I hope you realize what you are getting yourself into with this. ^smile^

Duh! I thought he wanted to do something like OpenBazaar, couldn't even imagine he wanted to make just another centralized marketplace! So old stuff!

What is your budget man?

What is your budget man?

+1.  I wrote http://www.coindesk.com/meet-onewallet-new-auction-site-bitcoiners/, but the owner closed it down due to lack or turn over.  I could spin up again if budget was right.

and we have a new Bill Gates among us. He wants to start a new Amazon. Hahaha

Do you really think this is that easy? Since you do have only 3 posts, I d suggest you read a lot about crypto before you do anything. Taxes, shipping, marketing, refunds, etc. Have you considered all these aspects?

There are already BTC based stores and marketplaces, and now major retailers accept Bitcoin (Overstock for example)

Besides, shoppers have Purse, cheap and high quality products from amazon.

How will you compete with that ?

[Goms]

Bitcoin is master cryptocurrency, My suggestion is use other altcoins too as a payment services. Already there are certain services which offer instant exchange with help of API to receive payment from altcoins.

Nice.
Now if the online store accepts not only bitcoins but some major alts as well, it will be an added advantage over the other bitcoin online stores.

You seriously can't win against amazon here or even get close to where they're at. Let's remember, Amazon was born in the early stages of the internet. Where only a few competition was there. Then Amazon also has a unique selling point, which was the biggest online bookstore (until today).

If you're seriously gonna challenge Amazon, you have to have some unique selling point that would capture the hearts of the people. Not just copy them and spin it off a bit. You won't go far.

Hello, I am looking to build a store like amazon a place where you place an order and pay with bitcoins. What do you guys think?

I need to repeat myself, something I always say when we talk about selling things for bitcoins, people would like yo see good sales, low prices. Amazon is big, they order big and they have good prices for their products, its hard to be competitive with them. You need to find a way to have unique products with low price.
If you can arrange that then you can make some profit with your project, if you can't then people will sell bitcoins and buy things for dollars or they will just use purse.

Amazon type store have costs - millions USD each year. It is not possible to make so large international online shop, if you do not have let say 10 millions USD or around 14 000 Bitcoins. You can make small shop with Bitcoins, but even then you will need strong advertising, which costs a lot. So it is question if such store will make profit ?
