What ShopinBit is
ShopinBit is a concierge shopping service that buys goods, travel and vehicles on a customer's behalf and accepts payment in cryptocurrency. The site says it has served customers worldwide from the EU since 2018, that requests can be started with no account and no email, and that human agents rather than automated systems handle orders. Its stated fee structure is 10% of the purchase price, with a €100 minimum for orders under €1,000. A self-service flight-booking tool is described as shielding the customer's email and phone number from the airline. Delivery of physical goods still requires a shipping address.
