How to Be a Good Earner

Accepted Answer

Earning Crypto with Purse

Being an Earner on Purse is a fairly streamlined process. You can build a great reputation with our Shoppers, and provide a valuable service to our users by fulfilling Amazon orders with your unused Amazon gift card credit, and earn Bitcoin (BTC) or Bitcoin Cash (BCH) in return.

After you accept your first Earn transaction, there a few key steps that you will need to follow to ensure your Earn order goes smoothly and efficiently:

Rules to Remember

Before accepting a Purse Order

Ensure the order you are going to fulfill has accurate pricing information (so that you don't overpay for it due to tax fees not included in the Purse order), and carefully review the amount of Bitcoin you will receive for it.
You can only complete orders based upon your current Earner Level, as you continue to process more orders successfully, the limits for orders you can place will increase.

After placing the order on Amazon

Make sure to specify the estimated delivery date (also known as ETA) when entering the Amazon order ID. For specific instructions on this, please see the step 8 in this guide. By entering the estimated delivery date, you will let the shopper kn

Question 4

Adding Tracking Numbers/Order IDs

Accepted Answer

Tracking Numbers for Amazon Orders

The Shopper has to confirm they’ve received the item(s) in order for the Earner to receive the funds from escrow. This process is more seamless when the Earner provides tracking information with every order that’s being fulfilled. In particular, providing tracking for large orders with multiple Order IDs and Tracking numbers is crucial for ensuring a timely payment. As a best practice, Earners should provide the tracking numbers for their Purse orders.

By submitting tracking numbers with every order, Purse’s automated tracking system will follow the delivery status and notify the Shopper upon its arrival. Note that many shoppers in our platform use freight-forwarders and the only way to confirm delivery of packages in such cases is through a tracking number. Transactions might be canceled if the tracking information is not provided.

Obtaining Tracking Info for Amazon Orders

There are two different methods for obtaining tracking information: browser extension and bookmarklet tool.

Preferred method: Purse’s browser extension (Brave/Chrome/Firefox) allows you to upload the tracking number from the Amazon tracking page to the corresponding Purse order.
Alternatively, the bookmarklet tool will grab the tracking number from within the Amazon Page and automatically upload it to the corresponding Purse order. This tool only works with Desktop browsers (PC, Mac, Linux). The bookmarklet tool can be found here: https://purse.github.io

Question 5

Earner Fees (Effective Rate Explanation)

Accepted Answer

How much does Purse charge earners?

Purse’s wallet to send, receive and store digital currency is free. Network transaction fees apply.

What's unique about Earning on Purse is you will select an offer to purchase in exchange for Bitcoin. The rate for each order varies.

Effective Rate

In the Earn section of Purse you will find an order book. All the offers are organized by rate. This is the '% above market rate' you will pay for the Bitcoin if you decide to purchase the order. The orders are organized by this rate, and the best offers float to the top.

|| This "Earner" effective rate is calculated as the inverse of the discount rate the shopper has requested. For example, a shopper discount of 20% equals a earner markup of 25%, e.g. 1/(1-0.2) = 1.25. This percentage above or below market rate is fixed, but the rate will fluctuate based on the value of the asset at that time, and will be locked in as soon as you accept the offer.

You can see the effective rate for the offer when you click into it. Hover over the effective rate to see the % above the Bitcoin market rate

No Additional Fees

We do not charge any fees on top of this effective rate for Earners. We do collect a small fee from the Shopper for the order.
