We'll have to get rid of governments then
Or at least of governments that steal so much from us. We should copy countries like Hong Kong, where there aren't custom taxes. Overstock shipping fee is too expensive. Not worth buying...
how much are shipping fees, anybody knows?It is very good news overstock is accepting bitcoins!

The problem with international shipping is import tax. Not that we can't buy with bitcoins.
Import tax will be there even if you pay using credit card.
But you will save some money on foreign transaction fee using bitcoin.
I also expect overstock to give some discount for those using bitcoins, after some time.
After all, they make some savings on the credit card transaction charges.
This is true in theory but in reality the shops usually increase by 3-5% the price if the costumer pays with btc.
There are a few merchants that have gotten a bad deal from their bitcoin payment provider who are unknowingly charging a higher price for bitcoin.
And there are some who charge a 'transaction fee' if you pay using bitcoins.

These companies say "We accept bitcoins" just to get media attention. Once they receive publicity, they don't really care. They seem to be real short-sighted.

I would argue that in order for this media attention to work the companies would need to, at the very least offer the same terms for bitcoin customers as they do for other customers. Otherwise the media could very well report that the company is punishing people who pay in bitcoin when it is incurring lesser costs. Sometime ago, it was news when a company started accepting bitcoin. Terms be damned.

Yes, if they can get their shipping provider to be more efficient then I would move over from amazon or a similar company in a heartbeat but as it is unless the product is significantly more expensive elsewhere there are other bitcoin alternatives like newegg that make more sense to me when factoring in the cost of shipping as well into my purchases.

They need to stop fucking around with the fees otherwise no one but big ass holders are even going to bother buying with BTC. Make using BTC an advantage and not charge more if you want BTC to be a success merchants

Once again the retailer has hit the headlines for similar reasons as it plans to start allowing international customers, from all over the world, to pay with Bitcoin.

Hope to see it soon. And if it is successful in driving up sales, we can expect all merchants to follow suit.
It's a good news,it would be easy now for many international costumers who lack proper payment options while shopping from sites like that

Their CEO is very pro bitcoin. They are going to pay their employees' bonuses in BTC this year and are retaining 10% of their BTC revenue in their "coffers" Read the full story completely @ http://coinfinance.com/news/overstock-to-let-international-customers-pay-with-bitcoin
They are making a very big bet on bitcoin and this is not at all unexpected IMO.
The employees who choose to get paid in BTC are going to get a little bit extra as well. Isn't that wonderful.
I've been reading about this for days now, but when will it be anounced officially by overstock? Also we will still get fucked by international transport taxes.

Bitcoins are great for Overstock or any other supplier that accepts Bitcoins, so they should consider giving a discount for payments with Bitcoins. That will also motivate more users to start using Bitcoins.

Good way to expand customer base without added risk of payment fraud.
They should give higher discount to bitcoin users since the transaction fee and fraud rate are lower.
