Maybe I'm ignorant, but what do you get out of it?

I don't know about Jeremy's motivation, but this is a good way to buy Bitcoins without incurring any transaction costs. I wonder how he plans to handle warranty and return issues. |

This is a smooth move. Correct me if I am wrong but the buyer gets what they want at market price and incurs no fees like they normally would (thus being able to get more for the same btc), the amazon seller gets to obtain btc for market price (again minus fees), or less depending on what kind of commission/discounts he gets as an amazon affiliate.

How exactly are you doing the shipping? If you are using an Amazon Prime account to ship orders out to your customers, Amazon is going to shut you down as soon as they see you shipping to numerous addresses.
Amazon's terms of service basically prohibit you from using your own account to buy items for other people on a large scale.
From the Amazon Prime FAQ page:
"Prime is not available for customers who purchase products for the purpose of resale or use Prime to ship products to their customers or potential customers."
I don't know if this is what you're doing, but if it is I don't think it will last long because Amazon has definitely shut people down for similar things in the past.

Precisely. You're a smart cookie.  |

To avoid shipping to multiple addresses you could use a service like https://bongous.com/and get everything shipped there to one address and dispatch accordingly- It will add one shipment and some delays though. This one actually offers a whole bunch of currencies for payment, it would be really cool if they were to accept bitcoins- It would fall under a resell clause if any I guess |

and could you not make use of the wish list functionality? I believe they can be shared and it will be easier than pasting product links maybe

Why should we trust you? I see in ebay that your last trade was in november of the last year, and they were low value trades.

I've built up that reputation on eBay over nine years with both large and small transactions. As you can imagine, I want to keep it 100% positive, and get all positive feedback here as well. I'm happy to use a bitcoin escrow service at buyers expense. Cheers! Jeremy |

just noticed a typo on the site ..
'safegaurd' --> safeguard
I know it's nitpicking, but for any kind of financial services, professionalism is important.
