If you pay from a paypal balance and do not use ebay, you have no guaranteed protection.  Paypal COULD side with you, but they might not.  Even if they do side with you, if they can not recover funds you still get no refund.

If you pay by a credit card you get more protection.  Just do not make the mistake of dealing with your credit card first with the dispute.  Try the dispute with paypal, even though it may fail.  This SHOULD give you the ability to keep your paypal account if you would like it in the future.   If the paypal dispute fails, then deal with your credit card company for a refund.  If nothing was shipped, the odds are you will get your money back up to three months.  Because you filed a dispute with paypal first (you followed paypals rules) they can not set your account to negative after the chargeback EVEN THOUGH YOU LOST THE FIRST DISPUTE WITH PAYPAL.  

Some credit cards, like AMEX, will allow a chargeback even six months down the line.

Thank you all for all your feedback!

A couple updates:
 
  * Minimum order requirements have been removed
  * International orders have been added. If you would like to help translate the bill into your local language, I can do that with that for no extra charge.

I also changed the address part of the form to a text area block. This should accommodate for some of the more interesting addresses in other countries.



I was wondering, why would making the list of public addresses be a good thing? Doesn't that destroy the anonymity factor?

I was thinking a better way would just be a verification page. Enter in a public address and complete a captcha, and it verifies whether this was a bill that was shipped.

I do not think publicly listing the addresses serves your customers.  A customer of yours can list the addresses of their bills themselves if they (why??) wanted to. 
2644  Economy / Marketplace / Re: I want a merchant to accept my bitcoins, which merchant solution to suggest? on: November 27, 2011, 05:21:32 AM
Look into both bit-pay.com and btcinch.com, they both seem to do what the merchant is looking for.

Can you show us what it looks like after the sticker is taken off?
2647  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Lots of buy orders at Crypto X Change... sold coins at $2.94 on: November 27, 2011, 02:18:14 AM
I would be interested in the exchange, but the $15 fee for withdrawals and deposits makes it not worth it for me.  Even with $500, $15 is 3%.

I also am seeing only a slight premium to mtgox right now, not enough to cover the $15.  I pay .25 cents to withdraw to Dwolla on mtgox and zero for a check at Tradehill and a slightly lower trading fee at mtgox or Tradehill. 

Again, I always like alternatives and would try, but the $15 fee makes it fail for me. 
2648  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] NEW Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000w on: November 26, 2011, 03:59:28 AM
The Cooler Master has only 1 +12v rail, and is 80+ Gold.  A much higher quality part than the Antec.  I can do $175 at the lowest.

-EP

You can argue both, but majority of reviews out there put Antec as better then Cooler Master.  Number of rails is really not important to me, some people think one is good, others have pretty good documents showing that multiple is actually safer.

2649  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] NEW Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000w on: November 26, 2011, 02:16:48 AM
I would pay $135 for it.  Otherwise I could get an Antec for a little less which I also like:

Yes.  It is in the December print edition.  It is not easily found on the front page of wired.com right now though.
2651  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wired article on Bitcoin : The Rise and Fall of Bitcoin on: November 23, 2011, 10:08:47 PM
Not a bad article, the most negative part is the title.  Seems pretty factual and avoids most sensationalism.  I wish it was on the front page of Wired though.
2652  Economy / Speculation / Re: [POLL] Have you paid for products or services with bitcoins? on: November 23, 2011, 10:02:52 PM
Hm, I'm not even sure if I can remember everything I've bought.  T-shirt, Polo, stickers, AK-47, bitbills, cassicus coins, a seiko, silver and more silver, pocket knife, crossbow, 100 trillion dollar bills, resin bitcoin, a bitcoin sterling silver ring, an LED flashlight, Amazon gift cards, cash in the mail,  and more that I've probably forgotten.

I doubt that I can remember all as well. 

physical bitcoins by casascius, A laptop from Gavin, Dexter Blu-ray, A green screen, bitcoin keychain, artwork services, testing services, cpu's, motherboards, DDR3 ram.  I am sure I left something out!

Check out our new stickers at the online store as well. Remember, 99 cents shipping in the USA no matter how big the order is. 
2656  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I will be interviewed about Bitcoin on more than 100 Radio stations! on: November 19, 2011, 06:06:11 PM
I one point should be put out there:

Bitcoin is an alternative to Paypal for movements as well as individuals.  I think that alone makes it worth while.

With OWS and Wikileaks being blocked people need a way to get around financial 'censorship' .

Could it compete with an AMD GPU?
Of course not. It's not a GPU.

But it will be very useful for the socalled "cpu coins" like litecoins and others.

And, more important, for scientific things that run bad on GPU cause of low cache.

Correct.  This is a pretty specialized cpu and is not going to be good for most tasks.  It has nothing like the number of cores in a GPU, but they are easier to program.  It won't make your desktop faster with a 1ghz clock rate, and it won't make your graphics faster then a standard GPU.  But for science and complex formulas that can be broken into threads, it is going to be killer. 

And if for some reason CPU coins are still around, it will be choice of CPU coin miners and do in standard cpu's for that job.

@ martychubbs

Thank you for bring this to our attention.

There is a detailed thread in the BitClockers support section available HERE

I am still having that error, "please bear with us" and unable to get payouts.

Submit 1 bitcoin, wait for 2 others to do this, and double!
Everyone does this, everyone benefits.

And it has already over 86, i doubled 5 times!

Join now, and get in the money rakes.

I submitted months ago, twice.  No payout.  As far as I am concerned it is a scam. 
2660  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The invulnerabe Bitcoin myth. (Basic math risk analysis) on: November 18, 2011, 01:10:41 PM
Your numbers are wrong.  Not going to waste any more time on them but "the banks" (there is no such single entity) don't have more computing power than Bitcoin.  Bitcoin is larger than 500 largest super computers combined.
Bitcoin can be defined as larger than the top 500 only if you decided to measure power by the amount of one of the most basic form of calculation almost nobody has use for.

For the purposes of attacking bitcoin that is exactly how we can and will define it.  Because if you were to attack bitcoin with standard
super computers you would need more then the entire top 500.  You basically proved deathandtaxes point.
