Does this mean what I think it might mean???

Title: Re: BitPay Integrates Bitcoin with Fulfillment by Amazon.com Post by: Technomage on March 06, 2013, 01:54:35 PM This means that there is now a convenient way for anyone (registered business @ Amazon) to sell anything with bitcoins through Amazon.

Correct. It uses the Amazon fulfillment service and integrates it with WordPress blogging software (which many websites use). It is not equal to Amazon accepting bitcoins; although it is a significant and material step in that direction.

Maybe.Quote PayPal does not offer the same service that BitPay can, so we have to manually process any orders which are paid through PayPal. It means Gavin needs to get started on allowing the network scale to match PayPal's transaction volume right now, because the need for that many transactions will arrive sooner than anyone thinks is possible.Title: Re: BitPay Integrates Bitcoin with Fulfillment by Amazon.com Post by: lebing on March 06, 2013, 02:03:03 PM Holy jesus.

Doesn't seem that huge if so.

No, Amazon did not, or do not need to, approve it because it is just a plugin to the WooCommerce plugin. Yes, Amazon knows about Bitcoin. Unknown whether they know about Bitpay.

That's why we stopped selling on Amazon." Problem solved with Bitcoin. Now if you are selling through Amazon and accept bitcoins there is no risk of fraudulent transactions and you get to leverage Amazon's infrastructure! Win-Win....And Amazon gets to keep their sellers happy.

Here's hoping for even bigger things!

I just read a news article that stated you can use bitcoin on Amazon, and I thought they were just making things up. I had no idea this happened. Congrats BitPay!
