has anyone tried this site already, im debating..
Actually, we had over $4,000 in sales last week and had to refund them all because our business violated the Terms of the credit card processor. A few more have come in this week since the massive refund using PayPal as a credit card processor now, but we are more than happy to let anyone else who has used the service successfully speak for us. Aside from the massive refunding, everything has been smooth so we believe you should be able to find some positive feedback.
If you do decide to use our service, be sure to check Twitter for a discount code released this morning!

For those who didn't notice we changed the OP, our credit card processor is now PayPal. When placing an order, use the "Pay with PayPal" button which will redirect you to a log in page. Under the log in fields, there is an option to pay with a credit/debit card.
New code today on Twitter for the close win by the Longhorns last night! Good through today only 
With our new site, we have a page to keep users updated with our progress. Please checkout http://btcbycc.com/about for updates and any additional information needed when placing an order.

PayPal payment feature should now be fully operational
A new feature available with our new store is the ability to offer DISCOUNT CODES! Follow us on twitter to find our code announcements!
Goodluck with your project.
Yes, good luck! The vendor, if they are honest, is going to be having a battle with Visa, Mastercard, etc every time there's a claim by a dishonest buyer that no good or services were received from the vendor. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. It might even make new precedent, or at least end up in Yahoo News!
Yes, this has been on my mind since I started this a couple weeks ago. I have been keeping meticulous records of Bitcoin addresses and TX ID numbers when shipment is made. When a chargeback comes in, I have a set amount of time to respond and defend myself and a payment is not just automatically taken from me. So far, my customers have been happy and most of my business has been repeat business

Shipping in 5 business days ? LOL
Good luck with that !
Good luck with that !
Actually it says depending upon the amount. Nothing different from Coinbase there. Once the payment processes, it will ship immediately if it is on hand.
Coinbase offers instant buys.
Right, but they do not allow "pay with credit card" buys.

Okay, after a small hiccup with my previous credit card processor I have rolled out a new website. Being brand new, I have labeled it beta because I am still testing exactly how long the new payment options take to process payments. As before, Visa/MasterCard/Discover/American-Express are accepted and have added a PayPal payment feature. Also, any feedback about the new site is certainly welcome.
Follow us on twitter @BTCbyCC to see the latest specials! New deal up today. Can the 'Horns beat the Sooners in the Red River Showdown?
Another circumstance I have just come across:
If an order total is over $25,000.00 USD I need to get prior approval before my payment processor will approve the order so please be sure to email me ahead of time so I can get the necessary approval. I would assume most orders of this size will be custom orders which I will simply issue a personal invoice for, but wanted to be sure to share the information as I become aware of it.

u have PM
Just so everyone else can be made aware:
The issue here was with a non-US credit card. I have confirmed that most non-US issued credit cards DO work with my payment processor if they have a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American-Express or JCB logo. If the credit card is issued in a country other than the US, be sure to put "00000" as your billing zip code to ensure the order processes. Additionally, if an order fails to process it could be due to a currency conversion issue with your credit card issuer (my payment processor only accepts funds in USD) so be sure to contact your issuer if there are failed attempts and 00000 was used as a billing zip code.
u have PM
U accept only US customers or worldwide ?
It should be worldwide. Per the payment processor, "works with any US-issued and most non-US issued cards bearing a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or JCB logo."
EDIT: I say 'should' because I have not had any overseas customers yet. Also the processor says if your international card does not process, contact the issuer because there may be an issue with currency conversion since payment can only be received in a USD amount.
U accept only US customers or worldwide ?
one more thing i dont see to specify on your website, where does the buyer enter his BTC wallet address ?
There is a note about it in the 'About' section, but once you place an order in the cart there is a section to "Send a note to the seller" (I believe is the wording) and I indicate to enter it there along with an email address. It helps to keep all of the info together until I can finish processing the order.

U dont have to be like Coinbase, u have to be better , otherwise people will just use Coinbase
EDIT : U should specify what timezone you are, not just 10PM
Coinbase does not accept credit cards for purchases. I use Coinbase and a few others to purchase when my current supply does not meet needs, so I post the longest possible time it could take to receive an order. One of the services I use is attempting to streamline their service to drastically reduce the wait. I do appreciate the feedback though.
I am in the Eastern US timezone which is how I have the hours set, but for some reason they do not display on the site. I am really at the host's mercy as far as that goes. Those are only the times I am available to respond though. The store should remain open to receive orders 24 hours a day. You may not receive an immediate response from me, however, if it is between 10pm and 8am EDT.
Thats why u should make a note on website what timezone are u on.
PS : im just trying to help
I understand and appreciate it! After your first post I thought it might have been a troll attempt but dismissed that once I read your second post. I will update the 'About' section now. Any other feedback is, of course, appreciated as well.

One bitcoin is $425? Only $376 at the moment... What exactly is a small profit?
I am actually constantly readjusting pricing as the market fluctuates and you happened to catch me in the middle of it. The current rice should be $415 and after credit card processing fees (which I don't even see because fees are deducted before I receive payment) it leaves on average $20 - $25 to cover any bank fees I would encounter if a charge is reversed. That said, the small amount doesn't even quite cover overdraft fees and I also reduce fees for returning customers once there is an established payment history.
As I have posted on the site and just about every media outlet I can reach, please feel free to email [email protected] with a specific request and I can tailor a custom invoice with the most current pricing and it will contain a link to pay online with a credit card. Fees are also drastically lowered if payment is made with my cash via text/email option. That only requires a debit card to complete and the payment processors do not charge a fee like they do with the credit card processing.

To those questioning pricing:
I do my best to keep up with the market fluctuations. Some people seem to think that I have a huge markup on the coins, but in all honestly I do not. Please remember that I am a middle man willing to take the credit card risk where others do not, and I have to pay credit card fees for every transaction. Once fees and coins are paid for, there is actually a very small profit margin built into the pricing. The main reason for profit being if someone reverses a charge, I have enough to cover any risk of overdraft fees. Please feel free to post any feedback or questions about my service

EDIT: We have temporarily taken the site down while trying to straighten out a newb who filed a chargeback because he doesn't understand what bitcoin is or how to use it. (So why would he purchase in the first place you may ask, we have NO CLUE...) Additionally, we had a scammer (goes by 'WBTC', 'norix', 'pinnchen' and a few other nicks on this forum - AVOID THIS USER! Based in Germany, email us for more details) use different personas with different stolen credit cards so we are dealing with that. Currently supplying all of the information available to PayPal/Law Enforcement to stop this user from attacking anyone else. Please bear with us while we get these issues straightened out.
After seeing many people asking how to purchase BTCitcoin using a credit card, I have decided to take the initiative and start a business to do just that. Below is all contact information you may need and I have set up several ways to accept funds in an attempt to make the process as simple for everyone as possible. I also offer Litecoin and LitecoinDark through my website. You can also feel free to send me any special requests you may have and I will send a quote based on the coin and quantity you are looking for.
