What about something with Amazon

Basically, people could buy anything from Amazon but within your site. Not sure how to implement the idea. Maybe using services like BitPay.
You could make a clone from Amazon website, people buy items (delivered by Amazon) and pay in cryptos. The coins are converted to fiat automatically (with Bitpay or any other) and your Amazon account is automatically topped up with a bank account (the one you used to receive BitPay payments)

I believe this has already been done in the past. I don't think you have to go as far as making a clone. Websites in the past just simply had a input where you could enter in the URL of the item, and it would open up a ticket for you to purchase the item on the customers behalf.

Be sure to have a large amount of funds available for early customers, unless you plan on converting the BTC to USD automatically, and making the purchase that way. You would have to profit off the spread.

Do you guys really think this is a viable business idea?
While there is no other sites like it that I can find, there are sites selling amazon gift vouchers for bitcoin.
From looking at it from the point of view as if i was the buyer, I would probably be more inclined to buy the gift card and make my order myself on amazon then to order it through a 3rd party.

Also, I'm not sure how amazon would react to me making many purchases all to be shipped to different addresses. Wouldn't they view this as suspicious?

If I am correct they stopped to sell Amazon gift cards for Bitcoin. And another thing is it was only selling Amazon.com gift cards (no .uk, .de, .in...). Many times I search for a site selling gift cards for Amazon in my country but I have never found any. So I was using Purse.io instead. I would be happy to be able to use Bitcoin with Amazon.

I don't think Amazon will see it suspicious to send multiple purchases to different addresses. It's not like if you were paying with different cards for each purchase
