so convenient, thanks!

p.s. one thing that would make it better though would be if no email back&forth were required... if it were all done on site.

Hey there,

I agree that would make it easier, but I want both customers and myself to have an email record of what transpired. Make sense?

yes, makes sense unless the customer doesn't want such a record.

you are requiring that customers have a valid email address in order to make payments.

you can just keep a record of the form submission.

p.s. i'm not unhappy with the service, i guess i'm just suggesting that there is still a hole in the market - for a service exactly like yours but one that doesn't require email interaction.

Thanks. And I am very happy with any feedback any time regarding how my service can be improved. Just wanted to explain my thinking.

We have just added a new page which allows you to purchase from practically any website with your bitcoins. The bitcoin rate is slightly lower to cover our costs, time and produce a profit, but it does offer you the chance to buy anything at practically any website worldwide.

You are also voting with your bitcoins. The more orders we get for a particular site, the more we will push to get an affiliate relationship with them to put them on the main page with the NO FEES rate.

So, go shopping anywhere now... http://anything.spendbitcoins.com.

Sweet!

For Newegg

Use www.bitegg.net

I use it all the time.

This guy charges a fee unlike SpendBitcoins.

Know any other like bitegg.net?

What happened to newegg? I know you use to have it, now that i actually have some coin, you dont use them anymore - i would also like to see ebay gift certificates:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ebay-gift-certificate

Ebay gift certificates would be great. Only problem is he'd have to calculate the "affiliate fee" he'd get for each one. Paypal denied his affiliate request. Newegg apparently was a pain in the ass to deal with, which is why he dropped it. For the most part, you can get everything off amazon (and sometimes more) than with newegg.

I think food and housing are too things that need to be available via bitcoin to help it take off. once we can get those two we are well on our way to being able to be "off the grid" so to speak.

I agree! I'll look into Kroger ASAP. As far as housing goes, if anyone is willing to accept bitcoins for rent, please list it here: http://spendbitcoins.com/wp/category/housing/

Would be so cool to see that take off!

hotels for bitcoin http://hojomaingate.com/blog/now-accepting-bitcoin-for-your-stay/ maybe you can get an affiliate deal with him and make some money while helping him get traffic?

Bandcamp. Support the indie artists while support the indie currency.

+1 to this. I really doubt this can be done through spendbitcoins, but I think bandcamp should implement this themselves. I think a common hurdle in paying for online music is the fact that you need a credit/debit card, and possibly go through paypal or something similar, so that paying in small amounts is difficult. If I say 'pay me whatever you feel like for my music in bitcoins' I might start receiving a few bitcents now and then, which I'm perfectly happy with. Although, my music is always up for free.

I wonder if there's anyone in the community that would host a "bitcoin for mp3" site for a couple % off the top.

That's beyond my coding ability or I'd do it, but I would think it would be popular... digital music is a perfect product for bitcoins in my mind.

It'd be cool to see a grocery store like Kroger or somebody available, even if you had to pay a fee. I think food and housing are too things that need to be available via bitcoin to help it take off. once we can get those two we are well on our way to being able to be "off the grid" so to speak.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

dont know if people have said it, but definitely newegg

Unfortunately we had to cancel New Egg due to terrible customer service and a rejection of our affiliate application.

If you are looking for mining equipment, check Memory Dealers, the first store on our home page.

Cheers!

I would like to offer up to you a wraparound solution to include New Egg as a shopping option for your customers. Although it doesn't address the customer service aspect of New Egg, I see no reason why they would reject your next affiliate program application with my idea.

Set up an adjunct, self-hosted Wordpress themed micro site, specifically used for selling New Egg products. Of course, don't mention Bitcoin anywhere on the new site, nor link to it via spendbitcoins.com until the affiliate program application has been approved. After approval, utilize the same wraparound idea you did for Amazon, directing your customers to your New Egg site whereupon they'll use their gift cards so that you'll be able to enjoy the kickback.

I hope this idea is sound and works for you. BTW, I enjoy your site. Smoothe! (that's odd--my spell checker shows that smoothe ain't a word--that aren't smoothe!)
