While it looks kinda nice on mobile, I have to say I'm disappointed that the internal wallet balance is no longer shown in big numbers on top. It's a hassle to have to constantly click once for USD balance and click twice for BTC balance - and knowing how much is left is essential for smooth shopping. =\

Did you give your feedback to Purse directly, as well? I had a comment tab pop up on my account when I went to the site to check it out; so I gave my feedback to them directly while I was there. I don't know how much they'll be visiting this thread to read comments here. But I should think they do value user input on the new design.

Yes, I prefer the old interface and I prefer BTC as the default.

It says in their video that Purse connects people with btc and gift cards. Is that a hidden thing from the users, or is there some interaction between the users? I just used Foldapp today for the first time and was extremely pleased. I am hoping Purse will be similar.

Nothing at all hidden from users. The person with bitcoin to spend makes an order from Amazon and deposits bitcoin payment in Purse escrow. Person with gift card or credit card picks up the order and pays for it. When it's received by buyer, Purse releases bitcoin to person that paid for the order.

Bitcoin spender has his Amazon order paid for by other party, who is then reimbursed with the bitcoin of the first person.

Sounds like a great way to convert stolen credit card numbers to anonymous currency. Or are there really that many people out there willing to lose 5-20%+ of their money to convert it to a currency they can buy basically nothing with?

Also, I love having my name connected with a payment method I had nothing to do with. Suspicious bank account or stolen credit card number just had a package shipped to this address? Better talk to them first.

I like it!

It didn't work well on phones before, so this is a nice upgrade.

With purse I am not using my own amazon account, right? So do I still get the advantages of amazon prime and how would I deal with sending a product back?

[–]redditHi 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You get the advantages of prime if the seller has it on his or her account. And apparently you can send it back (if defective) you with the gift receipt they provide for you. I've never had the occasion to do so

It's nice but I don't know why they wouldn't put save up to 50% instead of the 5% people would much rather see a big 50% with the word savings near it rather than 5% with the word savings near it. I dunno, just me.

[–]imaginary_username 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

5% is their in-house service, PurseInstant, where they further simplify the process of bidding-for-your-wishlist by acting as a real middleman, assuming all the risk on both buying and selling side. If you go straight to the purchaser by pasting your wishlist you can ask for more discount.

[–]VoDoka 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

How does the discount actually work? Are the people who purchase the goods on amazon just paying a premium to receive the Bitcoins through purse or is there anything else that warrants selling new products at a 20% discount?

Also, on another note, when I try to set up an account it tells me my e-mail adress is not supported, is that because of the .de ending?

The spender of bitcoin placing the Amazon order.. he gets the price discount on Amazon. The order buyer paying for the order.. he pays the premium for the bitcoin. Purse takes a small commission in the middle.

Here's information on Purse's international support: https://support.purse.io/general-questions/international-support/

Means nothing to me when my $500 Amazon GC is useless due to CC fraud that Purse is NOT willing to address. Who's the $10,000 Customer Protection Guarantee protecting? The guy receiving the bitcoin?

[–]ivanzhou -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

If those who downvoted me spent 20 seconds to read my reddit history, they'd know that I had always been very supportive of Purse. And I will be on their side again if the problem I have with GC is fixed.

Can you provide a link with details of the problems you had with purse?

AGuy getting his house searched due to purse enabling Fraud

Someones $500 voucher not spent for a month is found to be fradulant by Amazon. Suprising huh

Purse locked someone out of thier account for "Suspecious activity" but there is no fraud in purse right? They let him back in anyway a few days later

This person had his $100 credit revoked by Amazon after 6 weeks. Guess that was when the card was reported

Another one having thier Amazon account frozen

Purse themselves say:

The fraudster is the person who used the stolen credit card to purchase the item on Amazon, NOT the gift recipient. Also, Amazon is good at detecting fraud and rejecting transactions.

They also refuse to give out information that in most countries is required by law to be on their webpage such as a business adress and compnay registration number again nothing shady here.

All they give is "We are based in the Mission District in San Francisco. " Are they a LLP company? what is thier company number? why hide something that should be a public record anyway?

^ ^ FUD ALERT ^ ^ Here and on some of the other posts that have shown up overnight on this thread. Seems to be the usual covey of trolls that come out under the cover of darkness and just can't let stand any positive post about Purse, without countering their own worn out, inflammatory complaints.

Odd that you post on every single purse thread calling any criticism a "FUD alert". You also post about purses new features etc. One could almost think you were an employee of purse eh?

Also I am linking to factual things that have happened. I'm not a troll, i have one reddit account (apart from a joke account for my cat with one post).

Warning people about credit card fraud should be something that does not trigger such a reaction. Just like i will call out IGOT scammers etc.

I don't particularly like Eric Vorhees but i don't post anything like this about shapeshift because they are not engaged (as far as i know) in blatant fraudulent activity.

Also go thorugh our relelvant post historys. You can see me posting to /r/Buttcoin /r/Warthunder /r/Nootropics /r/MilitaryPorn /r/networking etc. Look at /u/allgoodthings1 history and its mostly the same cut and paste things about purse.

You decide who is trolling

Is the time spent on this redesign, the reason that the customer service sucked so badly recently? Hopefully now that it's redone then the service will go back to normal.

[–]qawsed123456 -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

People working as Customer support don't usually program the website too.
