Shop online with cryptocurrency. Pay with Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether or Bitcoin Cash. Use the Lightning Network to make payments. Pay With Anon

seems very sus

I think there are some good verified stuff here: https://kycnot.me/

They're just operating as an intermediary. They take your crypto and buy you a gift card to purchase stuff.

But let me ask you this: Where are they going to send the stuff you purchased?

This is interesting.  It looks like a gift card program.  They allow you to create a card and fund it using crypto up to $1,000 USD.  Once a funded card account is depleted it cannot be reloaded (this is how they skirt KYC).  Their accounts cannot be used for cash withdrawal (covers AML).  They do have a mechanism for moving funds between card accounts though.  The FAQ was able to answer all the questions I thought of regarding the program.

Seems worth a measured explore.  I used to work in a job that encouraged playing around with payment and money transfer networks a bit though.
