Don't listen to those shitheads, Bitcoin's taxability has nothing at all to do with the price of fish in kenya.
You're in California? I've known friends who've had run-ins with the State board of Equalization there, and they're animals... if they suspect you're fucking the state over at all, or that your numbers don't add up, they will make up numbers based off any equivalent business they can find. You're doing the right thing by paying your taxes, though if you can't make it not charge out of staters I would tack a tiny bit onto your prices to cover the average number of California buyers and remove the sales tax from the site, and "eat" the sales tax for anyone buying from California.
AFAIK "charging" sales tax that's not owed and not paying it to the state is even worse than not paying sales tax you actually owe.
Thanks for that awesome insight.  |

Bitcoin is not meant evade governments or purchase illegal things I believe it is created to help fight against identity-theft.
LOL, citation please. Site looks good by the way, OP. Thanks for the compliment!  bitcoin is what you make it no citation needed but if you really want me to prove that bitcoins are ment to help fight against identity theft... go to this website living proof we don't need our personal information in the hands of business owners who don't give a crap about customer security all bussiness owners need to know is "Did we get paid?, yes..cooll do we have a place to ship? yes... cool, SHIP IT!!" |

i have tried making some changes to my account "details" etc.. When I click the update button (for the section I just updated) it says syncing data then refreshes - with no data entered. Goes back to blank.
So the items are actually in stock or do you have everything set to in stock for testing?
I don't seem to be experiencing this issue although I will definably be looking into this problem. As of right now "Optional Information" doesn't record any information is that what you could be talking about? Yes items are stocked ready to go..... Ah yes, that was what I tried. And also the bitcoin address as well didn't save. Ready to go huh? I knew I wasn't going to be able to save any coins, I'm forced to spend em now Thanks I'm not ready to take down optional information yet but now that i know it bothers customers I will get it fixed. besides that everything has been tested, i've hired people of this community to hack up my application and they all deemed it safe... |

I don't think you need to charge a tax if you are only accepting BTC as payment. BTC isint taxable....
lol BTC would be technically impossible to tax. the government wouldent have the resources to go rummaging through the block chain trying to figure out what went where lol.
Regardless, I have sell things by purchasing them with $$$ so I'm technically required by law. Its a fine line which I'm not ready to test the waters yet(nor do I plan on it) Some big billionaire can make a biz and evade taxes and test the government if they care about it or not, but by California state law I'm required to record all invoices accurately as well as apply 7.25% tax on all purchases. They will want to know what I did with all the money..... Just think about it this way... if goats were currency... and someone paid me 20 goats for a video card, but my suppliers don't accept goats as payment.... So i sell my goats into dollars($$$) through the MT.Goats exchange, i purchase the video card from suppliers with that money and then hand the video card to the customer.... Basically what just happened is that everyone got paid except for the california.... we all know what happens when you piss off the government. it really isn't that big of a deal I'm working on getting zip code recongintion so no tax is applied when purchasing out side of california. Like someone else suggested I could use my "store credit" feature to give back the money in the mean time. |

you should put the sales tax as deposits into your awesome store credit thing.
the Asus 5870 on the site, is that a reference cooler-style or is it one of the Asus DirectCU II-style? could you post exact model #'s, i'll probably order a 5870.
I will have SKU number displayed directly on the website ASAP for now here is the SKU number to the 5870 you were talking about EAH5870-V2-PCIE-1GB-PB-R I couldn't exactly find what you were looking for as far as the cooling question goes but the SKU should help solve things just type it in froogle or google. |

Could you change the font? I don't know about other people, but it drives my eyes bonkers reading it in descriptions. I actually copied it to notepad.
Thanks for the suggestion! I will get that changed ASAP |

I checked out your store, it looks pretty good but how do you keep the price in BTC updated to reflect changes in market value?
Do you have some sort of php script that does it on the backend?
Just curious how it your site works.
You should really read the front page paragraph. It details why I don't put up with exchange rates. Honestly it would be more work to follow exchange rates, I mean by the time I log online and check your orders exchange rates can change by a couple of cents which could lead to a $$ which if I'm trying to penny save by following exchange rates I wont make any money ever and its almost impossible to track how much income i made. I also have an About Us page(i'm getting it reviewed soon for spelling errors and grammer errors) over at https://cheaperinbitcoins.com/aboutusYea, but what happens if the price drops to like 2 cents per BTC and you have like a 60 inch TV for sale for only like 30BTC? lol I have alot of padding, at worst if the exchange rate drops below my set price by $3 i will be initially losing money yes.... but I can't give out all my money making secrets now can I. |

why not just remove it?
Remove state tax? it is required if you live in the same state as where my business is registered, this is a legal operating business. Bitcoin is not meant evade governments or purchase illegal things I believe it is created to help fight against identity-theft. |

whats up with the state sales tax? i doubt i'm in your state.
I have not integrated a zip code look up system yet so its constantly charging tax I can reimburse you when you purchase? |

Yep that is true. There is a lot of "misinfo" out in the community about what is an attack, what has happened in the past, etc. It's a complicated subject and doesn't make for easy reading.
Apparently there's also a lot of misinfo about whether or not I frequently tell jokes... At least everyone got the Bitcoin Jesus one. Which is on meh wallpaper btw HEHE I still lolz from that |
