Title: BTCShop.org - I can finally reveal my online store that accepts Bitcoin! :)
Post by: Zakendoen on April 28, 2013, 01:03:31 AM
Moving hosts at the moment. Will be back in 1-2 hours. Done! Fully up and running.

Hey guys,

So I have been working hard for the past few days, and I'm very excited to finish up my fully functioning online Bitcoin store: http://BTCShop.org. (hope I can share it with you guys).

Of course I still need to add a lot of products etc. but I woud LOVE to hear any feedback you might have. Would be awesome if you could check it out. Also I don't want this to be seen as spam or anything. Just looking to get any feedback and share to people that probably haven't seen an online BTC store before  8)

Regards

Nice!

And no, making an opening announcement is not spam.

Better to hear of a new merchant accepting BTC than the normal ranty angry threads posted here :)

Nice--the more btc shops, the better, online or in the real world.

Who cares if your work blocks a site?  that doesn't make it malicious--what is malicious is your post--an unfair attack on someone building the btc economy

WOT not like either.

Edit : Seems like WOT have gotten it's info from Surbl, and that the distrust is due to spamming.

I'm sure OP has some really good explanation, and that he is not a spamming fcktard.

lol, my bad, server is hosted in Russia.

195.69.144.125   191.692   AMS-PE-1.megafonvolga.ru

also seems to be some kind of layering in the reverse dns to hide location

Even if he is legit, that's a good way to fail.

My apologies.

Ah damn, should I switch hosts? Yes it is hosted on a good/cheap host I could find, didn't know it was located in Russia to be honest.

I am legit. I guess I should change hosts? Any recommendations?

Where are you based? I couldn't find any real info on who you are, where you ship from etc. on the site. If it's there, maybe it's too buried...

seing as how the vertical strikethrough the B is the property of thailand and designated to the Baht.

it might be worth using Ƀ instead

I am based from my home in The Netherlands. I'm a Dutch student and I'm around 20 years of age :) Maybe I should be more clear about this somewhere or even add a 'Who we are' page, but I'm kind of a big fan of my privacy and the BTC world isn't exactly a place where I like to throw out my full personal information and house address.

Hm perhaps. Not sure if I like the look of that though.

That's your choice to make, but you may find it'll take a long time to build trust if you remain anonymous. Regardless of anonymity, a basic shipping info page would be useful, and should be easily found before making an order. I, at least, want to know whether I may need to deal with customs when ordering something.

+1

An online shop based in the EU would be cool.

You won't have to deal with customs :)

Also I've added an About and FAQ page.

I get paid to sit at a computer and monitor log files on the chance that something breaks. Like an overpaid security guard.

Hi Zakendoen,

just placed an order & the bitcoins are on their way from my MtGox account ;-)
Will the order details site (the https://btcshop.org/checkout/order-received/?order=???&key=order_?????? URL - censored for the forum ;-)) update on how much has been received?

Maybe you should make it more clear which shipping option to take - I ordered from Germany and was presented with a 0.19btc and a 0.09btc option, of which I picked the latter. Seemed appropiate as Germany is in the EUR1 Zone and your FAQ stated 9 EUR shipping fees.
At least translate the table under that FAQ point to English and add BTC prices for shipping to it :)

Out of curiosity: How do you handle your local taxes stuff?

Last but not least: Please add your legal information to the site. Even if this isn't required by law (in Germany it is, but I am not sure if that's a european directive or just some local thing to us), this will increase trust massivly (!).

Cheers,
ArchimedesMP

(ofc I will let the forum know how long shipping took)

Hello, thanks for your order. Is it okay if we send the 2 mice in seperate deliveries? The second mouse would shipped 1 day later.

Hi, in your faq you say 9 EUR for shipping europe zone 1 ....

when I say "germany" i get 0.09 ...ok,

for France it is 0.19 ...

Why ???

Thanks

Nice site by the way .

Thanks.

Nice find. I have checked and France was in fact displayed incorrectly. I appreciate the heads up and it has been fixed now. :)

I couldn't find any rep on reddit, just a few people generally discussing the service.
I'd take a pair of the Beats Headphones if you did an escrow on here; I'm not greatly in need of a pair but is more so to test your service.

I'd be happy to be of service but we're not doing escrow services.

My order has been processing for over a week now.

Post by: Frho on November 17, 2013, 05:47:01 PM
I've been waiting for the delivery of my order since the second of October 2013. It has the status 'Processing' ever since.
They do not respond to e-mails or messages placed on their contact form. Furthermore is there no telephone number to be found on their entire website.

Is there someone who has received delivery the last couple of months or is BTCshop.org yet become an other scam?
