Oh wow. I just read a news article that stated you can use bitcoin on Amazon, and I thought they were just making things up. I had no idea this happened. Congrats BitPay!

"As a retailer that tried selling through Amazon, I can tell you Amazon ALWAYS sided with the customer in disputes. That's why we stopped selling on Amazon."
Problem solved with Bitcoin.
Now if you are selling through Amazon and accept bitcoins there is no risk of fraudulent transactions and you get to leverage Amazon's infrastructure! Win-Win....And Amazon gets to keep their sellers happy.
exactly. Merchants selling on their own website can sell under their OWN terms and conditions, not Amazon's terms.

This manages to be both not all that tangible and a huge step for Bitcoin at the same time, lol! Here's hoping for even bigger things!

wow amazing news

Holy jesus. It's really happening.
We are watching history being made live.
Also, the Bitpay guys really know how to do their job. Amazing (Or rather: "Amazon"
). March 06, 2013, 09:29:51 AM
We want the date formatting to be like 2013-03-06 without the 8:32 AM.

Did Amazon approve this and do they know about bitcoin and bitpay.com?
No, Amazon did not, or do not need to, approve it because it is just a plugin to the WooCommerce plugin. Yes, Amazon knows about Bitcoin. Unknown whether they know about Bitpay.

How does this works? Bitpay anticipates the money to amazon that ships?
Doesn't seem that huge if so.

Does this mean what I think it might mean???
Maybe.Quote
PayPal does not offer the same service that BitPay can, so we have to manually process any orders which are paid through PayPal.
It means Gavin needs to get started on allowing the network scale to match PayPal's transaction volume right now, because the need for that many transactions will arrive sooner than anyone thinks is possible. March 06, 2013, 08:58:36 AM
NEED DATE FORMATING, SIRE!

This means that there is now a convenient way for anyone (registered business @ Amazon) to sell anything with bitcoins through Amazon.
Correct. It uses the Amazon fulfillment service and integrates it with WordPress blogging software (which many websites use).
It is not equal to Amazon accepting bitcoins; although it is a significant and material step in that direction.
