Great place to save when it works, but several major flaws
Purse is a great place to buy products on Amazon. When Earners are honest and trustworthy, products arrive fast and at a significant discount. I've spent $25,000 with Purse to buy almost everything I own over the past few years, and Purse not only provides a significant discount, but it also saves exchange fees from needing to sell our mined bitcoin and bitcoin cash blocks. Purse has three major problems. First, Purse provides misleading information on its site. A "33% discount" actually can be as low as 20%, because Purse does not include taxes and their own fees in the totals. At the very least, Purse should list the discount after its own fee is taken to be more accurate. Second, I still use Instacart for groceries, even though Amazon is often cheaper for many food items. That's because Purse sometimes erroneously charges tax for food, and food is not taxable in Pennsylvania. Amazon itself does not charge taxes for the same items, so Purse has a bug in its system that is costing it revenue. Finally, the success rate of orders is around 60%. Purse does not penalize earners sufficiently who cancel orders. I would pay 4% more for a trustworthy Earner who would not cancel, but Purse never followed through on the trial of that feature they did in 2018. Overall, Purse is a good site, but several technical flaws prevent it from being a great site. That's a shame, because they already have the hard part - marketing and a customer base - taken care of. Fixing technical bugs is easy, but they don't seem to be able to get that done.
