Here is the first auction house that is willing to take bitcoin The Information Technology Xchange you can see the list of auctions here. https://theitx.com/itx-1.php shows it here Currency: US Dollar or Bitcoin at halfway toward the bottom. let me know what you think or do you know of any other auction places that take it?

Ah and maybe the "Submit your business" button should be "Submit a business" instead?
This way, it can allow contributors (like me) to add / suggest the inclusion of new businesses.

May I suggest another feature?
To add a little "Last verified" date for each merchant. I suppose that over time, some will stop using Bitcoin so it might be important to ensure that each of these businesses are re-verified on a periodic base to make sure that usebitcoins.info remains a quality website to find businesses accepting Bitcoin. Especially at the beggining because those merchants will probably receive more buyers from usebitcoins.info over time, but not at the start.
I just tried to login with no success, I get a 500 error. Any idea why?
Edit : It worked this time. Maybe I wasn't typing my password correctly.. I dunno.

I have posted these in the other thread, but here are many other competing similar website that could help finding more shops (and maybe interested people to help with this project, I dunno). Most of these are either just plain text directory or they seem to be inactive or filled with advertizing. I guess there is room for improvements.

Nice site.
I actually found some places on it I did not yet know of. I will surely use this quite often.
I agree with everything my preposter said as far as suggestions go.

Such a repository is highly needed to help a market of consumers and merchants to develop. It can play a key role IMO as long as the people who run the site keep doing a good job on the long run. Bitcoin is "a chicken and a eggs" problem until merchants and consumers can find themselves easily.
Various suggestions :
Make sure you have enough people so that this project is not abandonned at some point.
Increase site responsiveness. It is very nice looking but also very slow (at least from where I am) and it is an important thing that might define if your visitors will leave or stay.
Show more shops in one page (3 - 4 shops large would be nice IMO, you could keep the right buttons on the main page only)
Remove the social network sharing button from the categories pages. Only show them on each shop page when the user click on one shop. This can reduce the number of buttons and make a cleaner search page, with more emphasis on each shops.
The menu is not so visible. Maybe that its background color could be different to help with this?
Make a favicon
Edit : Maybe also drop news and only focus on one thing and do it well? (And keep 100% of your space for shops categories)
And.. hope these can help!
