It seems like the previous 1 star…

It seems like the previous 1 star reviews were correct. Purse.io is no longer a functioning website and they will intentionally disable your account once you try to withdraw your Bitcoin. I only lost $90 so not a big deal, I'm lucky I didn't get scammed for more.

Update: They said it was a bot that disabled my account on accident, I guess they are okay now.

Bunch of Scammers

Fraud website. Scammed me. I completed the order successfully and the bitcoins were released. Now, at the time of withdrawing, they disabled my account. I am not able to withdraw my funds. It's a disgusting website. Support is useless and does not even respond. Lies, deception and Scam on Purse io.

Scamming dishonest thieves

Purse took my money and suspended my account with no explanation and no access to my funds after I ordered a large number of products off Amazon for purse users

I have been a purse.io user since 2015

I have been a purse.io user since 2015. Found a very good market with arbitraging Giftcards. in 2015 i made abit of money with buying amazon Giftcards at 50% off on certain websites. and then i would apply them to my personal amazon account. Ended up rasing a bit of money however hit a brick wall when amazon started giving issues with my account.. I then came back to the busienss in 2018 with a much different mindest and utalized different systems in order to scal my operation. I built teams of 5 and realized that amazon would allow more of these cards to be applied on certain peoples accounts rather then others... so on certain accounts i would apply 40k a month etc etc etc... so i got really good at managing accounts and scaling. from 2018-2019 i raised .3-.4m in capital in bitcoin using purse and other companies in the space. I then started building systems to apply this credit to certain teammates accounts... The team did about 2.5m+ in rev with 20-30% margins. got things automated to a point where i only had to do about 2-3 hours of work a day to raise about 3-4k..

After raising this money i ended up investing it in many entrepreneurs.
With visions and commitment to allowing people to perform any peaceful or physical task in both mature and economically developing societies. AI and cryptocurrencies are ideally suited to this decentralized crowdsourcing aspiration. This technology is already proven, well understood, and ubiquitous!

Had a hard time with these systems in the middle east.. Plus covid... So,,, lost all my traction..

Might get back into the business soon full time.
If you signup with purse via my affiliation. Ill give you coaching so you don't get scammed..

Great online shopping

Great online shopping with a great bargain, but the customer service falls short when it comes to fulfilling my request.
The order went through without a hitch, and everything arrived in perfect condition.
Would order again, please manage your customer support on this.

They scammed me on my order

They scammed me on my order. I ordered 4 packages they only ordered 3 and have been ignoring my emails for over a 2 weeks now. They stopped me from contacting them. I would never use this scam platform ever again.

Update

The response from purse.io means absolutely nothing I have been back and forth with them for several months through email and the admins were very rude and unprofessional and tried to blame Amazon when the order was never placed by them.

They should refund me but refuse to do so.

Hey Nomy - sorry to hear you had a dispute about package delivery.

We use 3rd Party Tracking to determine if an Amazon package has been delivered, and if there is an issue, Amazon has a procedure to protect you. Have you raised the issue with them?

Please let us know how we can help by talking to a Customer Support agent on the Website Chat or by emailing Support@purse.io.

Please let me know how I can assist you!

Good experience paying with crypto

Good experience paying with crypto. My packages have always arrived timely and you get a discount too. Your crypto is held in escrow, so that the shopper doesn't get paid until you receive your order. Highly recommend.

Hey Calicali - I am sorry that your account got disabled over this issue. It seems to be a mistake. It looks like there is a flaw in our tracking system where we only allow Tracking Links to be used once to prevent issues. I have added this to our issue board to figure out a solution that will enable different orders to have the same tracking link for the same Shopper.

As for our Support Staff, the longest we would take to answer back is 24 hours. If you are still having issues with this, please reach out to Support@Purse.io to get this resolved.

Excellent for Buyers using Amazon wishing to spend Bitcoin

From a buyer's point of view, Purse works very well and is easy to use. In many cases delivery is faster than if you order direct from Amazon. You can select a discount on the price if you are willing to accept some delay before your order is accepted but generally it does not take long before the order is picked up. Purse support act quickly when there is an issue - in one case goods were damaged in shipment but no problem in getting refund or making return arrangements.
