There was once a website called Brawker that worked on the interesting principal. Let's say you wanted to buy something from ebay or amazon for 10$, you'd find a person there who would pay and order your item and you'll pay them slightly more, like 12-13$. You can try the same thing here on the forum.

I learned that Amazon and Ebay are researching to apply bitcoin to online payments on their systems. But now things have not been done yet, but I think that these two sites will soon be doing that. The use of bitcoin brings too many benefits to users in online payments so Amazon and EBay certainly will not skip it.

No. I dont know one and that is the problem actually.
We will have to change our bitcoin with fiat just so we will not be needing to go to the department store to buy.
We will buy using the COD (cash on delivery) or using our credit cards up until now for online stores.
But bitcoin is young as they say. Give it a chance. Let us see if there will be a merchant who will be willing to risk making a company using bitcoin as a payment method.

Hm, about adoption - most of the people claim that the security and technology (scaling) are the largest obstacles. Although it is true that those are very large obstacles that Bitcoin has yet to step over, I actually think that the volatility is the biggest problem for adoption with merchants. It is more easy for sponsorship, small ventures etc - they all see Bitcoin as an opportunity and sometimes are willing to risk, same as all of us that are here, but a large vendor needs a stable currency or token, there is no sense in risking a stable business. They can invest in Bitcoin, but that is another thing.
