I've used your service four times now and it's real easy.
I'm wondering how it's working for you? Are you having enough volume to make it worth wile.
It'd be fun to know....
Thanks for asking. It's working quite well. The volume was quite high when I started out, but has dropped back a bit as bitcoin value has decreased. It is still enough to make it worthwhile. Here's to another meteoric rise in bitcoin value!

Hi there. This was indeed my stuff up, not logansrysche's.
I was unaware of any of this until I woke up about 20 minutes ago (just past 7am here in Australia).
Here is what happened.
20 Sept 2011: --At 1913 UTC a payment of BTC 1.69 was confirmed in my wallet. --At approximately 2000 UTC I processed orders, and this GoDaddy gift code was sent to the email address from which it was ordered (I was not aware there was a third party involved). --A few times yesterday logansryche IM'd me "Are you there?" but I wasn't. --When I got to my IM, I replied "What's up?" but there was no response. --When I woke up this morning, there was an email from loganrysche saying he had not recieved the gift code and a PM from cablepair directing me to this thread. --I forwarded the quote I fulfilled to logansryche, noting that the email address on the quote was different from the email address he emailed me from. --Logansryche replied, saying it is not his email address, and he doesn't know who's it is. --I looked back at the quotes and realised I received two quotes for $10 GoDaddy gift codes at nearly the same time, and that I accidentally sent the gift code to the person who just got a quote and DID NOT send payment. I use different receiving addresses for each quote for this very reason, but as I have never received two quotes for the same thing at nearly the same time, I was careless and did not check the receiving address, just the amount. Won't do that again!
Anyway, I am refunding logansryche's bitcoins now as he does not want a GoDaddy gift code. Good thing this was only $10 and not $1000! I can afford a $10 lesson.

+1, successful transaction. Received gift card within 2-3 hours. The service would be even better if you hooked it up with the Amazon gift card API to send the card immediately after 6 confirmations.
Hey there! I agree (would be a lot less work for me too!). This is exactly what I have my programmers working on at the moment, but as you can understand with all the hacks on bitcoin related sites, we are making certain it is 1000% secure, so no ETA on when this might be put in place. Sorry

Would love to see an example showing a more specific listing (e.g, a location w/photo, date(s), and price) Sorry for the late reply. There are thousands of options worldwide, so I can really only give you a good idea if you let me know when and where you would like to go. However, here are just a few examples available at the moment: http://www.desertbreezesresort.com/gallery/exterior.aspPalm Springs, CA, USA 2 bedroom (up to 6 people) Sept 23-Sept 30 BTC 54.00 for the entire week! http://www.hillcresttimeshare.com/our_resortNew Orleans, LA, USA 1 bedroom (up to 4 people) Oct 28-Nov 4 BTC 54.00 for the entire week! http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g562820-d288275-Reviews-Palm_Beach_Club-Playa_de_las_Americas_Tenerife_Canary_Islands.htmlTenerife, Spain 2 bedroom (up to 6 people) Sept 30-Oct 7 BTC 54 for the entire week! As I said, these are just a few examples. Through the timeshare that I own I can book accommodation worldwide for anyone at these kinds of prices. If you are interested in a more specific example, please fill in the form at http://vacations.spendbitcoins.com with general details of when and where you would like to go, and I'll get a quote back to you ASAP. Happy spending!

cool, next question then:
do you have the cashflow to be able to pay a $5000 bill... or, what would be a reasonable limit to assume?
Not a problem. Happy spending!

if an australian biller doesn't accept BPAY, but accepts regular bank transfers, can you help with that?
Hi payb.tc, Not a problem. We will set up some fields on the site for that ASAP. For now, just fit the info in the form as is and email us with any additional info we will need. Cheers! Jeremy

Just to avoid the reading, I can but WHATEVER I whant in AMAZZON USA even the international shipping at regular amazon price. For it I should send you the BTC first or what? TIA.
You can buy anything on Amazon except gift cards and items which Amazon won't ship to your country. Best way to get full price including international shipping (and to make sure they will ship to you) is to go all the way through the order including putting in a credit card but stopping before clicking "PLACE YOUR ORDER". Then put your order details through on spendbitcoins.com, send the requested bitcoins to the given BTC address, and you will receive a gift code to go back to Amazon (through spendbitcoins.com) and apply to your order. Any other questions, please let me know. Happy spending!

Here's a fun fact: back in the '70s, American CEOs made 20-30 times more money than their average employee. Nowadays, they make 500 times what their employees make. Corporate profits went up 140% in the last 30 years but real wages have actually gone down 2% for regular workers. Executive salaries have soared exponentially. The rich are stealing our First World way of life away from us, and you think I'm the one who wants to make everyone poor?
Here's a fun fact: Since the 70s, the US has become far more corporatist at the expense of true free markets. Regulations (lobbied for by the very corporations which they supposedly keep in line) which cost can easily be absorbed by the large multi-national rich corporations have been piled on and piled on and have stopped new competitors from coming into those markets to knock those super rich off their pedestals and spread the wealth around a bit (in a free-market kind of way, rewarding hard-working, innovative people rather than just rewarding politicians' friends and punishing their enemies). Fun fact.

What about if I don't have the Bitcoins to fund the entire order. Can I pay for part of the order with whatever denomination of gift card my Bitcoins bring and pay for the other part with a credit card or something? For example, if I want to buy a couch for like $1200, but I only have a few hundred in BTC, can I pay the rest to Amazon with a credit card as I normally would? Sorry for all the annoying questions. I just want to totally understand this service before I start pipelining all my Bitcoins through it. Yes, this is not a problem at all. Just order the amount you have in bitcoins on our site and then when you check out with the gift code you get from us, it will just ask you for a credit card to pay the balance.
