let me get this straight it costs $7 usd for 5 dollar amazon? I am sorry but theres a user on here giving us more then the value of btc.

Enjoy pointing out all of my flaws, dontcha lol.
I can't compete with that I guess. Our prices are set off the base price, and we add a fair fee for processing(better then a percentage). Also all the cards listed on the site are actual cards and not some code that could have been generated out of nowhere.
If it makes you feel any better, that card comes to 1.16 btc.
We'd go broke if we didn't add some sort of fee to the cards(not that anyone cares about that or anything).

Your site is pretty slick looking. It's nice to have a lot of different alternatives for buying gift cards. Hope this all goes well for you.

Ok folks, all prices listed on the site are USD value intil checkout.
This format will continue until I can find someone to code me a auto price updater script for Zen Cart.
I would also like the note deleting the gift cards for Coldstone Creamery, Ouitback Steak House, and T-Mobile(but added membership card for runescape). Also, somehow I misplaced the magic cards so there won't be any listed on the site till their found(their here in the office somewhere).

SEPTEMBER SPECIALS
If $50 or more in site items are bought, I'll toss in a random gift card of a random value.
If $150 or more in site items are bought, I'll toss in a Wal-Mart or McDonalds gift card.

converting all btc prices to USD & dropping the shipping fee.
Let me explain. The Zen Cart plugin for bitcoins does not actually process bitcoins.
The cart sents the bitcoin payment address in the confirmation email that the customer then has to manualy pay for it. Wish there was another way around that, but it'll have to do until I can get that auto-price script going. Total completion for all 176 item prices should be roughly 2 hours.

I saw that, but I don't think I could get that into zen cart, unless I post it where the price value goes.

Check out the link in my signature.

You could either use it, or something similar. Or contract my help  Tongue

*Edit - To be clear, I mean my script can be called from html. Like http://irage.ca/2btc.php?a=25" />

You're right, then again I'm use to not everyone yelling scam at this, that and everything else.
I think what would fix this would be a auto-price updater script, but as I said, I have no experience in this type of code. Yeah I could go in there and manualy edit the price but yeesh.. that's 150+ items o.O

I'm just providing you with my opinion is all. If I saw the owner of a shop panhandling on the corner of his store, I wouldn't go in and buy a coffee.

well heres the thing... from yesterday to today the price of bitcoins did not lower that much -_- and the prices of bitcoins were not that high yesterday.. when converted from btc to usd the price was still really low for lets say a giftcard. Today it costs so much that even if you are not a scam then no one will still buy it. I would just put the USD price on each card on the site and then have the payment option have the equivalent price to btc for that time.

I can't do that.. the default pricing module is in bitcoins and goes directly to my wallet on my pc. It would help if there was an auto price updater for zen cart, but I know nothing about php/perl/etc.. so if the price flxuates again, I have no control over it.

No offense, but you aren't attracting too many customers by posts like this. If you're running a business like a website, treat it like a business and remember that you really can't talk to people like that without losing face. And having threads practically explicitly begging for donations and constantly bumping them puts you in a semi-negative light, at least in my eyes.

Doesn't seem like I'm attracting any customers at all with everyone running around shouting scam. Ok so I'm trying to get our site up and running(after switching to bitcoin webhosting) and trying to get a much needed vehicle. You make it seem like I need to choose one or the other which isn't right.(not that anyone cares about my personal needs or anything).

You shut your mouth.. not scam. I don't have acess to an updater script to keep up and wouldn't know how to make one. I'm trying to keep the BTC value equil the USD price. If the price fluxuates, I really have no control over that but no one cares about that.
