Question 2

Earner Levels & Limits

Accepted Answer

How Earner Levels Work

Limits on earning Bitcoin on Purse are determined by Earner Levels. There are 6 levels for Earners and one, invite-only VIP status. Earners can level up by successfully completing transactions and receiving positive feedback.

Low discount orders are given to VIP earners first

Dynamic Order Availability

Starting on June, 2021, we've released an update to make orders available to lower-level earners if they sit untouched in the order book for more than 3 days. The system works as follows:

If a Purse order with a 5% effective rate isn't accepted by a level 6 earner (the only ones with access to such a low discount order) during the first 3 days since the order was placed, the order will become available to level 5 earners. If after 3 more days, the order wasn't picked up by anyone, the order will then become available to level 4 earners.
The orders will only be unlocked down to 2 levels in a period of 3 days each time.
Level 1 earners will not be able to accept orders that are above their level.

Please note that the Effective Rate is not the same as the Discount Limit, the effective rate is the percentage above the Bitcoin market price, for more information, please read this support document.

Earners can increase limits immediat

Question 3

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 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.

Question 6

Adding Tracking Numbers/Order IDs

Accepted Answer

Getting Tracking Numbers for your Amazon orders

When fulfilling shoppers’ Wish Lists on Purse, in order to receive the funds from escrow, the shopper has to confirm they’ve received their order. This process is more seamless, faster, and more enjoyable for the shopper (and you, the Earner) if you provide tracking information with every order you complete; especially large orders with multiple Order IDs and Tracking numbers.

As of November of 2020, Amazon started hiding the Tracking Numbers from the Tracking Page for an order, making it difficult to get accurate shipping status for our Purse shopper. Additionally, Amazon took the decision to make the Tracking Pages private, now only the Purse earner (who placed the Amazon order in their account) has access to the tracking information.

By submitting Tracking numbers with every order, our automated tracking system will follow the delivery status along the way, and will notify the customer upon its arrival — ensuring you get paid faster. Please note this is not optional. All earners must provide the tracking information for their Purse orders. Transactions might be canceled if tracking information is not provided.

Before starting

To simplify the process, we have created a bookmarklet tool (it's like a bookmark but smarter) that can grab the tracking number in the Amazon tracking page and automatically upload it to the corresponding Purse order. Currently, this met
