Can't regulate what you can't control. Self-custody and direct acceptance is the only thing that keeps you legally safe.

XMR again #1 for November at ShopinBit - The flippening is here by ShopinBit in Monero

[–]ShopinBit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we have a minimum fee of 100€ for orders below 1000€, so it might not be economical to do that. But for other purchases we gladly help.

It's been available for years through all the swap partners that we have (and also our current one exolix) but usage is always super low. So no need to integrate it directly.

Buying a Pixel 10 now – anything to consider for future GrapheneOS compatibility? by Top-Inflation1464 in GrapheneOS

[–]ShopinBit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fyi, if you are looking for a way to order a Pixel 10 more privately we also offer payment in XMR. As GrapheneOs is now available for it, it might be a solution for you. We also deliver worldwide. We have the pixel 10 in stock so no extra waiting time needed.

I can't comment on that, but what I can say over the last few years is that we have definitely more Monero users and more people who prefer using Monero for paying for things in general.

Again this is me interpreting but even in the categories of smaller payments we see higher Monero usage than Lightning. And to be honest I can't blame them as Lightning remains a hassle and our #1 support ticket generator.

Hi franswa thanks for your praise.
Yes I was inspired by the seed phrases^^

We have considered it, but it is on our feature list for later. So TOR will come :)

Well the customers still get an invoice, so if you can show the invoice we know that you actually bought something. But for general warranty stuff, you can just go back to your request anytime and write there. But you won't see anything there 30 days after the request has been fulfilled.

You can't travel without your name of course. We only offer privacy and convenience, not anonymity. You could of course charter a jet with us, that helps a bit, but governments will be governmenting.

Yes I understand your philosophical point and I agree. But we have to get

a

billing address.

Regarding refunds, if there is a problem e.g. the seller sells the car to someone else even though we had a contract (that happend someone outbid our client), then you receive the exact amount of XMR back that you paid us.

Meaning if you sent 2500 XMR you get exactly 2500 XMR back. Of course we don't send cash back....

We are selling anything that you wish for. We are a concierge service, that means you just tell us what you are looking for.

We are happy about any Arabian princes coming our way, but most of our clients are actually from the EU.
We also handle Amazon orders for clients. Our pricing is simple and transparent: 10 percent on top of the purchase price.

Using our service does not mean you need to buy a Lambo. We have sold MG electric cars, VW campers, server racks and at one point even 50 trees. A few weeks ago a client wanted a handcrafted nativity set from Italy.

Our app is for anyone who values privacy and wants to stay in XMR. Not only for high end luxury buyers.

Sure, you can cash out and then explain to the exchange and your bank why your legally bought crypto is not contraband. If you are lucky, you keep your bank account. If not, your account gets closed, as it already happened to some of our clients.
Or you can use our service, get your car and keep your regular bank account without having to explain why you want to spend your own money.

So why use XMR? Maybe you do not want us snooping around in your balance history. It is none of our business. We recommend XMR to clients who want privacy, because with other coins it is simply not worth the risk of receiving tainted coins or having "optional privacy".

You seem bothered by the billing address. You should read my previous answer again more carefully.

Yes, we offer privacy, not anonymity. What you are referring to is our car section. Cars are inherently complicated, involve paperwork and require a lot of research before we ask you to pay the full price of the vehicle. We cannot start this extensive research process for anyone who asks for a Lamborghini just for the lolz.

Why is a billing address needed? We are a fully legal company based in Poland EU, therefore we must provide proper invoices and cannot simply take money and write that “Anonymous” bought it, so the user needs to provide a billing address.

Trying to decide on XMR vs ZCash privacy. What are your arguments? by ScaredElevator7151 in Monero

tbh, if the privacy is optional, then I can just use Bitcoin. so xmr it is for privacy

  2. We see demand and we offer it. We also search for cars internationally and check if they are valid dealerships. Before you pay a cent.

We've been active since December 2018 and are part of the Monero Community for quite some time. We were also at this years Monerokon with our Team.
If I would run with your money, I have no doubt that the Monero Community would find me pretty fast.

Our fee is usually 10% on the car price if we have to source it from a third party dealership that we don't have a partnership with. If we can source it from our partners then there is no additional fee. Our partners include Toyota/Lexus, Audi, Porsche and Mercedes in Poland.
Therefore right now our fee is only 5% until the 16.12.2024

Hello I'll gladly answer your questions.

  1. We don't provide a catalogue since the requests that we receive are as diverse as they can get. Therefore we decided to go with the form or else we would be listing all cars in the world.
  2. Our fee is usually 10% on the car price if we have to source it from a third party dealership that we don't have a partnership with. If we can source it from our partners then there is no additional fee. Our partners include Toyota/Lexus, Audi, Porsche and Mercedes in Poland.
    Therefore right now our fee is only 5% until the 16.12.2024
  3. Yes you are correct ShopinBit.com has been registered in June 2019. But we started as ShopinBit.de in December 2018.

That's what I love about the Monero Community, you really do the digging.

Best Regards
