Until now, people from mostly the poorer and developing countries were not part of the global community when it comes to places like e-bay or amazon, because almighty Paypal won't let them, but bitcoin have leveled the play ground and anyone with some coins can stop by to shop.

Until eBay or Amazon actually accept payment in Bitcoin, people are still limited.

Right now your only option would be to get a BTC credit card from a company like Bitpay or Xapo

and use that to shop on Amazon.
Which means you are still incurring additional fees and being forced to use a third-party service.

Thats IF you can even find a way to convert local fiat currency to Bitcoin.
We need easier ways to convert fiat and more ways to actually spend BTC if the market is going to grow and make online shopping more accessible to people who can't use a service like paypal.

I have a different understanding on what you are saying, to be able to use that card you need to fun your account with your bitcoin, so for me it's mor like a debit card than a credit card. Please correct me if I am wrong..

Correct that bitcoin card is like debit card we can only spend it if there is a fund left in our card.
But i do not think bitcoin can helps poor countries because people need to work with simple requirements like gadgets and internet but not all people can afford that.

why do i always feel like some of the people think that internet and smartphones are not affordable to people in poor countries because they sure are as price as *insert here where you from*. internet and smartphones are in poor countries much cheaper. maybe not top notch, but still cheap enough to afford it.
