Accepting BTC directly would really be ideal from large vendors. But one very interesting thing about our service is the worldwide shipping. Newegg makes it very difficult to buy with a non-US (or non-Canadian) credit card. They won't ship outside the US or Canada either. So it really opens up the market to other people. Things like this are exactly what we at bitspend want bitcoin to be successful in. Opening up new markets.
- stock_toaster 15y agoI would imagine there is more to accepting international orders (and shipping there) than simply 'using non-US credit cards'. Things like tariffs, export restrictions, taxes (both source and destination company), international corporate status, fraud, etc. In light this, I find bitcoin espoused as 'opening up new markets' a bit of an odd statement.
- malandrew 15y agoFor individual orders by the end user, there really isn't that much more. Most of the additional costs such as import duties are typically the responsibility of the receiver.
- Egregore 15y agoYou should also make something similar for dealextreme, you even will not have to handle shipping, they ship to all countries, but they accept only paypal, and there are countries where paypal doesn't work.
