Topic: What are the big merchants that accept Bitcoin payments? (Read 268 times)

Ebay is not a website who can decide to accept bitcoin or not, but a group of sellers on a marketplace.
Ebay can just make it possible for the sellers to accept bitcoin if they want, but this is what they don't want to do.
This is a bit understandable, because if they allow the buyers to pay with bitcoin, it requires that the sellers have to have the knowledge about the bitcoin payments...
Ebay has to protect their sellers also like it protects their buyers...

Nice try,OP.Compiling some random list with companies that accept btc and putting your "best social media agency in the world" at the bottom.This is post is an AD.I'm I right?
There were 1000 posts about the list of companies accepting bitcoin.Another post like those won't bring anything new to the topic or the conversation.
Good luck with your business,but I hate sneaky hidden advertisements.

Once upon a time, Steam also made the mistake of using Bitpay, then, after the transaction fee craze of early 2018 they suspended the service. Now Bitpay can easily be replaced with btcpay, and you could do it yourself or hire anyone (not just bitpay) to do the processing, but they haven't bothered ever since.

Newegg is peculiar. For long they have only accepted American only credit card (which is why i never got to use them. I have to wonder if, using bitcoin i could send the goods anywhere and not just US addresses?

Purchasing gift cards with bitcoin has been going on and even i managed to do it once, but it had to be an European supplier (America has long denied or purchases long before "sanctions", they simply didn't like our trashy banks or the nearly comprehensible money exchange rules back when that existed.

Where is eBay in all of this? Still refusing bitcoin... Adoption is too slow for certain sites, i guess its time for replacements to come up.

I know some of the most famous merchants for gift cards or payment for games and other online services such as G2A. they accept bitcoin and hosting services these days also accept crypto via third parties such namecheap . but for shopping for real goods so far, I prefer credit card or banking transfer. crypto payment is more often used to pay for digital goods and digital services.

I think you already answered the question you gave

The Newegg merchants were highly recommended. I tried to buy one of my computer accessories there, BTC payment, standard and uninterrupted delivery.

nb: do it at your own risk

However, it can happen that not all listed still accept bitcoin.
For example, Expedia discontinued payments using bitcoin as far as I know.

The lesson is not to accept Bitcoin payments, but rather how to accept? directly or exchange it to cash.
You can buy almost anything using BTC, whether you pay directly or indirectly so unless those shops accept it directly, this is not accepted.
I mean, I can accept the banana coin to make payments as long as I receive money in dollars. Just as Bitpay does.

The availability of better alternatives makes accepting BTC risky.

Often pay for purchases with bitcoin in Whole Foods

One of the first large retailers that started accepting Bitcoin as a payment option was Overstock. < On January 9, 2014 > The rest of the major retailers has either not accepted it yet or they accept Bitcoin payment via third party payment processors.

I think the fact that Bitcoin is still defined as a commodity and not a payment option or a currency, influences the merchant adoption in the market. These companies are audited and they have to adhere to specific rules and regulations within their country and this makes the decision a bit more complex. 

Anyone know if Newegg still accepts Bitcoin payments? I remember I bought many GPUs and other computer hardware there for mining. Then from what I remember they removed the option to pay by Bitcoin in Canada due to payment processing issues while in the USA they still accepted it. It was a very smart business practise for them because many miners who kept BTC would rather buy on Newegg by BTC rather than buy it elsewhere by fiat.

However it wasn't KYC free. You basically had to have a prior purchase on your account which was paid by a Credit card to prove identity. You couldn't just make a new account and buy a bunch of hardware without providing this info.

Accepting payment through bitcoin is getting popular day by day and it will increase with more pace in the near future. For getting your answer you may visit here to see the list of merchants who are using bitcoin as their payment method.
