Hi,
There are few services or individuals that ask for 5-15% commission for online shopping from US websites.
I wouldn't mind buying using their services but if you want to buy $2000 worth stuff, paying $200+ commission for 1hr work is not a fair price.
I can't place the order myself as I'm EU citizen so that US site does not want to deal with GDPR regulations so they reject my card (they accept cards with US billing addresses).
So, any hints how can I buy stuff from US for lower fees/no fees via card?
My question is not linked to crypto but it could be an ideal choice that I can pay with crypto (converted to fiat or not) for such service too.
thanks

If you're sure that you're not able to shop because of the card, and not due to the site not being able to ship to the EU then you can use DashBargain. You can pay with BTC and the fees are not that high (a flat $3 and fixed 3.5%).

Personally when I want to buy something from US, I always use Shipzee.com https://www.shipzee.com/en I haven't found anything better so far. But if I'm not mistaken, they are shipping stuff just to few countries, not whole EU. But I suppose there should be some alternatives. |

Drop all the EUR and US shopping thing and start using crypto to pay on ebay, this website accepts crypto from anywhere in the world and again I'm able to use my mastercard on ebay and I'm not from europe or united states, why question is what online store are you trying to use? |

That's the work of logistics, I'm from Nigeria and I use shiptomydoor platforms, this logistic platform gives users US address to buy and ship products to and help them ship out the goods and items back to Nigeria in just 3 days, look for logistics that support EU delivery mate

Easy answer:  -snip- Some of these services can buy stuff in US for you with theyr card and ship it to you whereever you want. These solutions are not that good, not when you're trying to save anyway. Most of them limits their shipping carriers to DHL and FedEx which are quite expensive. |

Many thanks for you hint, I'll look it up, let's also see other options if anyone else know I bought an item in US (through Amazon) and I use my PayPal wallet for purchase, I'm not from America I lived in Asia, it took me less than a month to get my items, and when I receive it all works fine to me. I don't know why does your card gets denied, they will accept VISA, MASTERCARD, BANCNET or CIRRUS card. There's a thing called Dropshipping too, you will put that dropshipping address instead of yours and then from dropshipper's address to your home address, but I think additional fee might be needed. Check shopify for more info. |

the website does not allow paypal payments but only by card, in order the transaction to be authorized by the operator of that site, the shipping address of your card must be one from US or non-EU countries (due to GDPR regulations they do not want to comply).

Most of them limits their shipping carriers to DHL and FedEx which are quite expensive. Drop shipping logistic is the best way of avoiding DHL and FedEX, I used one to shop on almost every available stores in the US and they bring my goods right to my door but the charges can be unforgiving, I always make sure I order lots of goods to cut down expenses, find one online that supports shipping to europe countries |
