Well, buying drugs is easy to protect against in the way I imagine such
a service, but even buying regular things could still trigger ALM/KYC
laws.

I'm running my own business and I know first hand how revolting it is to
have anything at all to do with banks and the government.

I think, for this service to be even remotely feasible, it would have to
hide in plain sight. You would have to have x "purchasers" with personal
credit cards, and spread the customers out among them to ensure that
neither purchasers consumes too much in any given month.

Best regards, 
Daniel
