Title: Buying general goods with BTC
Post by: Goosebump on September 03, 2017, 07:03:18 PM
Hello users, I was wondering if anyone has some trusted and useful sites for buying general goods with bitcoin. Items like clothing, shoes, tech, etc.

I read on a different forum here on bitcointalk that the site www.overstock.com accepts bitcoins and sells those things you want but I'm a newbie to this so I didn't try it out

You can buy at overstock, I don't know how it is now but in the past I have bought there without problems. A safer option is purse.io which enables you to buy Amazon goods and pay with bitcoin is another good option.

Well the local time on your profile suggests that your timezone is UTC -1, so I'm guessing you live in one of the countries listed on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_time_offsets) in that timezone (probably in Europe).  Most good merchants ship to Europe so you should have quite a few of them shipping to you.

You could try using a search engine for BTC merchants (https://spendabit.co/).  If necessary, you could look for physical stores (https://coinmap.org), but IMO Bitcoin transactions are better online.

A few major merchants are Steam, Overstock and Newegg.

Yeah, it really depends on the type of item you are looking for. Without knowing the type of item you are looking to purchase, it is hard to provide recommendations. The 3 listed above are definitely could sites to check out though and tend to be the most popular. You can also purchase gift cards for other merchants using services such as Gyft or similar.

You can also try to follow services involved in BTC paymet processing like bitpay, coinbase, mycelium gear  ... they usually have reference which shops/companies uses their service.

Maybe there are few store or sites that offer BTC as a payment. But beware of choosing those sites . Nowadays there are lots of scammers. Just try searching on BTC merchant.

You can buy Amazon gift cards at https://www.egifter.com/bitcoin with btc, which gives you access to a pretty huge marketplace. There is a few others alternatives, but this one has been in the place a while ago.

Yes, there are many trusted sites from where you can buy goods and services using Bitcoins. I am quoting some external links for you

* List of Companies Who Accepts Bitcoins as Payment! (https://99bitcoins.com/who-accepts-bitcoins-payment-companies-stores-take-bitcoins/).

* List of Merchants that Accept Bitcoins (https://blog.wetrust.io/list-of-merchants-that-accept-bitcoins-9f4f991b95d1).

* Coinmap by Satoshilabs (https://coinmap.org/welcome/).

* 2017 List of Big Companies that Accept Bitcoin & Cryptocurrencies (https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@steemitguide/2017-top-list-of-big-companies-that-accept-bitcoin-and-cryptocurrencies).

I hope the list of these sites will help you to find the best website to spend your Bitcoins directly without converting it into the fiat currencies.

Purse.io are good and i think they are also giving you rebate but for now we are seeing more site right now are accepting bitcoin as payment and i think you can buy more lots of products online.. But there are site that asking high price than the other than giving you  a good rebate or discount if you are paying in bitcoin..  Like in purse.io.

There are only a few shops that accepts bitcoin as payment method so you dont have much to choose from. I recommend using bitcoin as payments method if really there is no other method of payment. It is better to exchange the bitcoins in usd , because the market on general goods with usd is full and it is safer.
