Hey folks! I'm building an app to let anyone shop on Amazon with crypto.

How it works: [1] Add "baggins.ai/" before any Amazon product URL [2] Fill in your shipping details [3] Pay with your preferred wallet (BTC, ETH, DOGE, USDC, and more)

Features: - Supports 1-2 day Prime shipping - Uses Coinbase Commerce for secure transactions

Here's an early version for y'all to test: https://www.baggins.ai/

Keen to get feedback on the UX and feature requests!

My LI to show that it’s not a scam :) https://www.linkedin.com/in/kisum-chan/

So basically I pay you with crypto, and you buy the stuff for me with fiat? With no privacy policy, napkin for terms and conditions, basically "trust me bro"? I really don't want to sound hostile, but you are asking for a lot of trust...

Would you personally use this service in its current form, if not you, but I made it?

Thank you for the feedback! Totally agree that there is work needed to get this into a state where folks would use it.

I appreciate that this comes across as scammy - happy to sponsor a purchase for a test. Have a test wallet I can send some crypto to?

What do you think about the overall the concept & ux?

I agree and why would anyone use this over just buying a gift card from bitrefill, etc.

"Yes, we charge exactly what Amazon charges. We don't add any markups or fees for the price of the product"

How do you make money / not lose money then? Coinbase is charging you 1%
