A unique, secure and Trusted Platform

I am using Purse for more than 2 years now and I am happy with the service. It helps me convert my Amazon gift card balance to Bitcoin. I am happy that Purse is here to stay. Because it is a secure and trusted platform, I will continue using its services for as long as possible. I really appreciate their customer support team for their prompt support.

Great place to save when it works, but several major flaws

Purse is a great place to buy products on Amazon. When Earners are honest and trustworthy, products arrive fast and at a significant discount. I've spent $25,000 with Purse to buy almost everything I own over the past few years, and Purse not only provides a significant discount, but it also saves exchange fees from needing to sell our mined bitcoin and bitcoin cash blocks.

Purse has three major problems. First, Purse provides misleading information on its site. A "33% discount" actually can be as low as 20%, because Purse does not include taxes and their own fees in the totals. At the very least, Purse should list the discount after its own fee is taken to be more accurate.

Second, I still use Instacart for groceries, even though Amazon is often cheaper for many food items. That's because Purse sometimes erroneously charges tax for food, and food is not taxable in Pennsylvania. Amazon itself does not charge taxes for the same items, so Purse has a bug in its system that is costing it revenue.

Finally, the success rate of orders is around 60%. Purse does not penalize earners sufficiently who cancel orders. I would pay 4% more for a trustworthy Earner who would not cancel, but Purse never followed through on the trial of that feature they did in 2018.

Overall, Purse is a good site, but several technical flaws prevent it from being a great site. That's a shame, because they already have the hard part - marketing and a customer base - taken care of. Fixing technical bugs is easy, but they don't seem to be able to get that done.

I've saved around £2000 so far using this website. The support team is always very helpful, even the odd time when my item didn't arrive the support team made sure I received the item or got a refund.

Great Platform

Platform works as intended. Only issues I've ever had is due to the earner's mistake him/herself. The purse system is great. Would recommend to others. There are some options they could implement such as being able to select a specific seller when notifying the earner. The earner currently only buys the product from the default seller for the product.

Purse.io is a frugal person's dream

Purse.io is a frugal person's dream. It's a market that connects people with access to Bitcoin (BCH or BTC) who want to purchase items on Amazon with people who want access to that electronic currency. Shoppers place their Amazon orders through purse. and Earners fill those orders and receive the Bitcoin. But since there is demand for access to the Bitcoin, Shoppers can set their own custom discount, and see if an Earner is willing to accept less than the price of the good in Bitcoin for the privilege of accessing it. Depending on how patient you are and the current market conditions, you can save anywhere from 5% to 33% on Amazon purchases. I tend to save from 15% to 25%, and have saved over a thousand dollars total using the service. As Bitcoin (both BTC and BCH) become more accessible, Purse's use case won't last, but for now it's an exceptionally convenient way for anyone with access to Bitcoin (via exchanges or local trading) to save a very significant chunk of change on their online purchases, while also making Bitcoin available to those who wouldn't otherwise have access to it.
