It doesn't make any sense. Bitcoin is actually perfect for merchants since it's one of the only payment methods that can never be reversed.

Is that the "volatility" they talk about?  Doesn't sound right though.. should be comparable to market trends. 

How did the price change though?  Did it initially show as 20 but when you checked out it was 30?  How long was it in the cart?  Maybe the price changed.  IDK but shouldn't charge more for btc

I bought many time on newegg with bitcoin and never had problem. I paid the same price. You should check with customer service maybe.

So I am trying to use Bitcoin as much as possible when buying goods and services. I was pretty pleased when I saw NewEgg takes bitcoin, so i quickly pay with my Bread Wallet, bam done.

But oh wait, I just paid $30 in Bitcoin for a $20 flash drive!!!!!!

People this is just about enough to enrage me full psycho mode. I mean wtf!!!!

Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on??? Are ALL bitcoin purchase shady as hell?Huh?
