Buy in Amazon with Bitcoins.

[mocker001]

Yes, you can buy stuff on Amazon using BTC. There is a wallet called Ipayyou (it is 2 years old age now) that allows you to buy on Amazon using your bitcoins. The wallet has a featured called “Amazon Direct” that lets you transfer any dollar amount of bitcoin to use for purchases on Amazon. I might be mistaken but I think this is the only way, for now, to buy things on amazon using bitcoins.

You can also use Purse[1], and you can get discounts too! I've read decent reviews about it though I really haven't tried it myself. If only Amazon doesn't charge abysmal internetional shipping fees.

Errr. I would suggest all members here to be weary of utilizing this service. There is no proper contact information, company information, owner information available on this website.

Even worse, they apparently hold user's PRIVATE keys in order to utilize their service.

Re: Private Keys: We hold them because typical, non-technical users lose them. We handle dozens of "Lost Password" resets daily. If they held their own keys, they would lose all access to funds with no recovery. Of course, most wallets don't care if their customers lose private keys as long as it's not their fault. We do care about our customers.

Went through few links for buy in Amazon through Bitcoin itseems like we need more clarity, one the other end it looks like scam. Well if things goes big like shopping carts accept payment through cryptos then its time to jump on cryptos, I believe digital currency will change the life style of this world. Hopefully we are nearing to the new generation.

Correct, actually there many vendors who help us to use bitcoin to buy good, service or even pay tuition. One of my favorite is purse.io . It seems the way it works is almost the same. And actually amazon don't really receive bitcoin but still recieve fiat, all transactions is managed by those vendors.

The problem I have with services like this is the return policy when something goes wrong. I think they buy goods on your behalf and then add shipping fees to send the goods to you, so you not dealing with Amazon directly. 

The reason why Purse.io is getting things at a discount price, is because they are buying a lot of goods via their account and they pass some of the discounts onto the users that use their services.

I would rather deal with Amazon directly, because you know they offer you some protection, when something goes wrong.

it is a good achievement that amazon can accept bitcoin and i like to use bitcoin for the online payment of many things and i hope that in the near future many companies will accept crypto  for future and bitcoin is the ever green currency for the new generation. it will more rise in the services industry in the coming years.

We need officially payment method with BTC. This is the only way to contribute for cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin need accepting from anywhere. But Amazon would be great.

If this is true then a lot news and links might have came about this because Amazon is very big and number one e-commerce site in the world also the whole world is using Amazon across the globe, the link which you have provided is not at trust worthy mate. If this is true then I assume it as miracle's are often happens in crypto too. Kidding mate give a true information.

[StrangeDominic]

is it real? can't believe they accept BTC. can you give me more information? thank you

[Nickcerny]

No,amazon does not allow Bitcoin as a payment method. Amazon doesn't accept Bitcoins directly, you can use a service called Purse to convert your e-monies to Amazon gift cards that can then be used to buy products on the e-commerce platform.The gift card holders purchase the item you choose for you in exchange for Bitcoin, which is the easiest way to redeem an Amazon gift card for money.

Amazon has now implemented good things for a technology like Bitcoin, Amazon can put the position of Bitcoin for media sales like money. so I think this is a good thing for buyers on Amazon, especially crypto users, so this makes sales easier.

[velive08]

Amazon has become an online buying and selling site that is now developing bitcoin payments, so I think this is something that might be the best moment for buyers on the Amazon site to use crypto.

Do you have any source to prove your statement? There has been rumours in the past of Amazon planning on accepting bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency. While I don't think it's impossible for Amazon to receive bitcoin in the future, no one has given any source whatsoever as proof for the rumours.

[Atomic.2017]

Oh really? Thank you for sharing. I think this is just what I need right now since they blocked my Amazon account saying that they could not verify my payment information when in fact, it's the same card I used for other online purchases. I'll go check this out.

I haven't used their service but it seems they hold private keys which is little bizarre for sites like that. It is interesting if it works as people are always buying things from amzon but I would suggest that if you're first time buyer, don't buy anything too expensive, buy something cheap to try it to see if it works and how smooth transaction goes before you buy anything expensive.

Regardless of that service, you should be careful when it comes to service that supports BCH or promotes Roger Fair's ideas.
The fees they talk about are prohibitive, and all transactions are handled by them "Not your keys not your coins."

Bitcoin Purchases: Minimum purchase amount of $100 USD; bitcoin buy price is the same as the Coinbase buy price when you place your order.

Deposits: iPayYou charges a flat fee of 3% For ACH transfers from all listed US banks.

Selling Bitcoin: Bitcoin sell price is the same as the Coinbase bitcoin sell price; iPayYou charges a flat fee of 3% along with a small iPayYou / network fee (this is the bitcoin transaction fee, and it typically costs about $1.50 to $3).

Canceling Transactions: If you cancel a payment, iPayYou will charge a flat fee of $0.75 USD along with the small iPayYou / network fee.

Generally, it is better to deal with reliable people or companies when purchasing gift cards.

As an alternative, you can buy from Amazon using copay's[1] wallet.

If the news is authentic then it will be one of the best achievements of bitcoin. But I have a little bit doubt is amazon accepted bitcoin to buy products? Amazon is one of the largest e-commerce sites we know so now, people will buy something on Amazon by using bitcoin. Thanks, Amazon for accepting bitcoin.

Well I have a standard policy of generating hard passwords and not keeping them if I use a web site only once - if a time comes I need to reuse it, I just ask for a password reset via email and that's it. When, on the other hand, I have an important password, like a bitcoin private key, I am very meticulous about storing it safely. So, I don't buy their argument at all.

Take a minute to actually look at the sites that's been mentioned in this thread. Amazon is currently NOT accepting bitcoin. The sites that were suggested in this thread are just sort of 3rd party services that accepts your bitcoin as payment then orders the item(s) for you through fiat.
