Bitpost.shop Works: A Trusted User Confirms a Completed Trade
Bitpost.shop, the Italian marketplace where people pay in bitcoin and others buy Amazon items for them, is working, including for users in the United States. Someone Profoundd knows and trusts has completed a transaction on it, other users report the same, and we have found no complaints. If you have used it, we want to hear from you.

Bitpost.shop is working. Someone Profoundd knows and trusts has now completed a transaction on it. That matches what other users, including some in the United States, have told us since our first report in September, and in a month of looking we have found no complaints about the service anywhere.

How it works

Bitpost connects two kinds of people. A buyer who wants to pay in bitcoin posts a link to an Amazon item. A "Bitworker" who wants bitcoin buys that item with ordinary money and ships it to an Amazon locker or pickup point. In return the Bitworker receives the buyer's bitcoin, at a discount the buyer sets, up to 13%. Bitpost charges no fee.

While an order is open, the buyer's bitcoin sits in a multi-signature wallet, a wallet that needs more than one key to release the money. Bitpost holds one of the keys, which it says it uses only to settle disputes, so Bitpost cannot move anyone's money by itself. A Bitworker can prove a purchase with Amazon's order email, and every completed trade adds to a user's reputation score.

Italian-run, used in the U.S.

Bitpost is Italian. It describes itself as an Italian startup, its Italian-language Telegram channel has about 490 subscribers to the English channel's 71, and the six early reviews on its site are all in Italian. The founder posts under the name "Zio Satoshi," Italian for "Uncle Satoshi," and the company says its outside investor is Protocolli Creativi, a software firm in Tolentino, in central Italy.

The service is not limited to Italy. Bitpost announced its first American Bitworker on September 1, and in March it completed a delivery from Italy to an Amazon locker in the United Kingdom.

Bitpost has been building in public for a year. Its first Telegram channel opened in October 2025, a working web app was online by January 2026, invited users began testing in March, and the public launch was July 10. By its own count, it had completed 85 transactions with more than 200 registered users by late August. The company also says Bitpost has been picked as a semifinalist in CypherTank, a startup competition run by the Swiss city of Lugano's bitcoin program, where it pitches on October 14.

Two pauses, both caused by outside attacks

Bitpost stopped trading twice this summer, both times because services it relied on came under attack: the Boltz swap service in August and the Liquid Network in September. Both were reported independently: the Boltz halt by Decrypt and The Defiant, the Liquid exploit by The Block. Bitpost says its own systems were not compromised, and we found no report of any Bitpost user losing money. It reopened on September 29 with payments directly on the main bitcoin network (a €20 minimum), a phone version, and an address on the Tor privacy network.

What our first report got wrong

Our September report undersold Bitpost in three ways, and we have added a correction to it. It treated the site as about two months old; Bitpost has been public for a year. It said the site had no reviews; the "0" we saw is what the page shows before it finishes loading, and the site carries six five-star reviews from its early testers. And it found no press coverage, because we searched only in English; the Italian site Miglioverde published a favorable profile in July.

Before your first order

A bitcoin payment cannot be reversed by a bank, so start with a small order while you learn the process. Bitworkers should keep their 12-word recovery phrase safe: Bitpost's FAQ says that if it is lost while an order is open, the money cannot be recovered yet.
