If you people are really into talking to Amazon support, don't forget to remember them that bitcoin can be a strong competitor to Paypal, which belongs to e-bay, a direct competitor of Amazon.

Its not like Amazon is going to increase it sales by accepting bitcoins
No, but it could make some easy money by investing in BTC.
1) Acquire many BTC (100,000 or more) cheaply (under 10 USD/BTC).
2) Announce that they will be accepting bitcoin.
3) Wait.
4) Sell.
They could easily get 5x their initial investment and it would (IMO) be low risk.
They wouldn't even need to do that, just accept them, yea prices will go up fast for a while, but the increased market for them(buying and selling goods) would drastically increase the price thereafter. Likely before they had a chance to cash out, thus they would have more value by the time they cashed out, so lets say a 20 dollar item, they'd make over 40 dollars, easy on that.
Just an idea to possibly remind them.
After acquiring 100K BTC, when the price doubles or triples, spend the profit on computer upgrades and the like. Spend down to the original 100K of which they keep on the books. Only spend again when there's a increase in BTC. Hell with converting it to fiat. Worse case scenario down the road, Bitcoin crashes and they lose the 100K BTC but have 200K+ of products and services. But that won't happen, for if just one major entity started amassing coins via acceptance, others will follow suit, then Wam Bam Thank You Mam--Bitcoin is mainstream!

I sent an email to these guys to see if they will accept Bitcoins: http://www.irs.gov/
I will let you know.
I dare someone to send a private key loaded with Bitcoins with instructions on how to redeem it to the IRS as their yearly tax payment.I will let you know.
You first! Those fucking Neo-Nazis scare me. I've been audited before and they knew shit about me that I forgot about years ago.

Thank you for waiting.
We don't accept bitcoin as a payment method on our website at this point.
Me:That's disappointing. Do you know if you will be anytime soon?
Ganeshan:I'm sorry, we don't have more information about that. But I will pass your message on to the appropriate department in our company.

C. Ratte from Amazon.de had no clue about bitcoin but googled it.
She asked somebody but didn't get an answer.
I asked to be added to a notification list like was discussed above but she told me to check their website and that they generally don't do such notifications.

Thank you for writing, as well as for your idea for improving Etsy!
We do realize that many of our members would prefer to submit electronic payments on Etsy without the use of a third party processing service, such as PayPal, and we are currently taking that into consideration. While I can't really tell you when or if such a feature would be put into effect, I can assure you that it's not something we've forgotten. I will definitely pass along your link to our engineers!
Thank you so much again for your suggestion! We really do take member feedback into account when making changes to the site, so it's always nice when someone writes in with ideas.
Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns, and have a nice day!

I don't know what you guys have been doing, but some guy named Jeff just called me. Here's the transcript:
You are now connected to Bruno from BitcoinTalk.org.
Me: Hello. May I help you?
Jeff: Yes. This is Jeff B. at Amazon.com. What do you know about the recent questions we've been receiving regarding Bitcoin?
Me: Not sure what you mean, Jeff. Let me look into this. BRB! (went to take a whiz)
Jeff: K
Me: Back. It looks likes there are several people inquiring about Amazon.com accepting Bitcoin after viewing the Baker's Wife on TV last night.
Jeff: Damn! I missed it! I love Demi Moore!
Me: Me, too. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
Jeff: No. Except, tell all your friends that we have a limited edition coffee table for sale by a user named Rassah.
Me: Consider it done. Bye, Jeff.
Jeff: (I think I was just put off.)
Me: (That should put him off for awhile.)
You should have told him people only buy Rassah's coffee table with Bitcoin!You are now connected to Bruno from BitcoinTalk.org.

I asked as well while dealing with a separate issue and I got (what looks to be the norm) "we will pass it along to the marketing dept".
I don't see BTC support coming any sooner then Paypal. But it doesn't hurt to be optimistic and it definitively doesn't hurt to ask for it.

I'm going ask them to tag my account and tell me when they do accept bitcoin
everyone hear should do the same.

Its in their best interest to accept bitcoins. If they accept directly and another site I have to go about it in a roundabout way (ie Gift Cards) then I would definitely be picking amazon over the competition. My next purchase will be a second 6950 so this is $250 or so in sales they can take or lose.
