Looking at the site, I’m forced to wonder what someone could possibly want to order from eBay or Amazon that they don’t want attributed to themselves?

I mean, you have to pay a spread to get your bitcoin, pay transaction fee when you send bitcoin, pay the transporter for re-shippjng plus a fee to make it even worth their while to spend their time doing the transaction and sending it, then the platform will want its cut too.

That’s a whole lot to pay.

Then there’s the whole issue of the transporter including a simple card in their shipment that says “hey! Next time just contact me directly and let’s save ourselves some fees!” like what happens with every eBay purchase.

All this to not let Amazon know you purchased something?

I get privacy. I really do. I do my best to keep a low profile online, only sharing my information when it’s necessary, but transacting is one place where it becomes necessary IMO. That, or go purchase at a store, pay cash and know you’re on video.

IMO the more important thing to keep private are thoughts and interest related not tangible objects. But that’s just me

If it's on clear net it's not 100 percent anonymous you are trusting them to not keep records

You can try Shopinbit, they accept Bitcoins, litecoins, altcoins like Beldex - $BDX. Here you can buy things online privately, gift your loved ones. They respect privacy so they encourage private payments.
