[ANNOUNCEMENT] BTC Buy (www.btcbuy.info): trade BTC for gift cards

[coga]

What are the fee's on a $100 Amazon gift card?

I might be misunderstanding the question, but isn't the web site self-expanatory? Here's the screenshot: http://vvcap.net/db/EHE4vOEySMaYqS4ygq7G.htp

Any possibility of offering amazon.ca certificates?

Constantly evaluating such possibility, as well as .de and .co.uk. Not yet, mainly because we have no presence in those countries, and the cost of buying certificates from USA would rack up so much commission, that nobody will be ordering. There is a chance that we will get something eventually.

Is there a reason that the rate is $84.96 right now when it used to (a week ago?) be about what the exchanges were at? (would/should be 93-95 or so now I guess)

Also: Current Amazon $2000 price is 23.56BTC. This is 2001.6576 USD at the 84.96 rate.
Should be 23.54048964218455743879472693032 = 23.54 (or 23.55 if you rounded up) not the 23.56BTC
$500 should be 5.885BTC (5.89 I suppose) not 5.9 as listed
$100 should be 1.17 or 1.18 but is 1.19

and so on. It is a small amount, sure, but it adds up when you do many transactions. Seems like it's round up to nearest .01BTC and add .01BTC although a week or 2 ago the difference was slightly greater if I'm remember right.

Other than the (now) large discrepancy in rate used vs current exchange rates and the slight, let's say, "rounding error", it is a great service that I've used many times and will continue to use once(if) rates are back to normal.

Sorry for the bad prices. Lately, we are getting a lot of orders, and we are running out of capacity. So, it's either reduce the rate or stop accepting orders altogether. If you see a bad rate, best course of action is to wait

Makes sense. That's exactly what I've been doing. Working out wonderfully so far.
Should I expect that "rounding error" to remain in there or will that eventually get fixed? Less important being able to do $2000-2500 at a time instead of 10 $500 transactions for instance but still there.

You shall. That error originated due to some javascript rounding, that caused system to false flag some orders as invalid, when they really were. But those were the times when bitcoin was worth 5 dollars, not 100, so it wasn't a big deal back then. I could see how that would cause some discontent now.
