[Steem Purse] Get 10% off Anything from Amazon with STEEM

This post was originally a comment on @steemshop's post, but since it quickly got some upvotes even though I was commenting on a 4 day old post, I decided to post the idea. Thanks to @wackou, @anyx, @arcange, @ebargains, @steemvest17, @sjennon, @reisman, @evildeathcore, @vermute, @lyaandayani, @mhaivo, @kuvo, @dirty.hera for the motivation!

Please feel free shoot holes in this idea and tell me why it won't work. I may make a buy post next if I can't see a reason not to. Also feel free to run with the idea and make it happen.

This was the comment:

I was thinking of a way to be able to buy anything from Amazon at a discount with STEEM like purse.io does with bitcoin, but couldn't decided on percentage. Not sure if people would want to do or not.

The idea would work like purse.io So you can get say a 10% discount for whatever you want to buy from Amazon.com if paying with STEEM. buyer will pay a 10% premium for exchanging USD to STEEM by purchasing sellers wishlist.

If there is interest in this, there would be a way to set up an escrow account in which the STEEM will be held until the shipment has been confirmed, just like on purse.io
in a simple version a buyer could make a post expressing intent to buy or there could be a website that works just like purse.io

Save 10% on your Amazon Wishlist with STEEM

[1] Log In to Amazon.com
[2] Add Products to Wishlist
[3] Copy Wishlist Share Link

Create a sharable wishlist

Step 1. Add Products to Wishlist on Amazon

Click “Add to List”
If you’re new to wish lists, select “Create Wish List” (make sure the list is public)

Step 2. Configure Wish List

Click “List Settings”

Click “View Details”

Step 3. Add Address to Wish List

Fill out ‘ship to’ section with your address
Make sure that “Third party shipping” is checked
Make sure that “Don’t spoil my surprises” is unchecked

Step 4. Copy List URL

Navigate on Amazon to your wish list and click “share”.

Copy the share link.

Step 5. Submit Wish List

paste link on steempurse website or as a comment on buyers post

Step 6. Verification

buyer looks at the wish list and make sure there are no problems

If there are no problems, buyer replies to the comment with "verified" followed by the amount of STEEM to send to make the purchase ([Price of your wish list minus 10%] divided by the current price of STEEM in USD)

For example: If your wish list has items totaling 33$
33$ -3.3(10%) = 29.7/0.229918($price of STEEM) = 129.176489 STEEM

Step 7. Send STEEM to buyer

If seller agrees with the amount of STEEM, you copy and paste that amount and send it.

Step 8. Buyer completes the Amazon order

and replies with tracking information
