When do you think bitcoin will be able to use in buying things online? When? Since around 5-6 years ago. Bitcoin is being used for online purchases. If you mean mainstream adoption (whatever that means), I'd say it'll happen only if there's enough people who have some sort of income in bitcoins (either main or secondary).

You can already buy (almost) anything that you want using Bitcoin. It comes down to where you live, and from where you want to buy. A perfect example would be Amazon: Even though Amazon does not accept Bitcoin, there are plenty of people (on the forum) and some services (e.g. gyft) that enable you to buy Amazon gift cards and buy items from it. If you mean mainstream adoption (whatever that means), I'd say it'll happen only if there's enough people who have some sort of income in bitcoins (either main or secondary).
As far as the online retailers are concerned, primarily Amazon and Ebay are missing(the rest would likely follow their steps).

Bitcoin is being used online to purchase things online. From virtual product (games etc) to even physical product (NewEgg etc)! What makes you ask this question?
If you mean having as many company support Bitcoin as PayPal, well that will take sometime. With the recent Bitcoin price increase, I think that businesses will start to notice Bitcoin and may support them as payment method.

It's already available. Not in so many stores and services that people would like to but the list of available online stores is spreading each day. I think that here on forum was also published the list of stores that accept Bitcoins. Although the risk for merchants who accept Bitcoins is much bigger the for others whow make business only with fiat money.

As far as the online retailers are concerned, primarily Amazon and Ebay are missing(the rest would likely follow their steps). To be completely fair, it would be much better if you could just pay with Bitcoin directly on Amazon, but in the meantime gift cards are an option. But in my country (Belgium) it's already possible to buy food through pizza.be with bitcoin and it has been an option for almost 2 years now. They have websites for other European countries, but don't know if it's possible to pay with Bitcoin on those. Note that this is a very popular service here and they have a Bitcoin logo on their front page and you pay no fees as opposed to paying through Paypal.

Yep some online stores are accepting bitcoin as payments. But if you want to buy an item in an online store but doesnt accept bitcoin, Try to trade it to paypal. Many here are trading their bitcoins to paypal

More and more online sites will start accepting bitcoin but the question is, "are you ready to participate in this?"
Without sufficient users, it will be difficult for these sites to survive just by accepting bitcoins.

Hmm. I thought the Philippines was one of the premier league Bitcoin hotspots. Or maybe it is and the OP needs to look a little closer. I've no idea.

Well even if it is a hotspot man there are only few stores that accepts bitcoin and it is not convenient for us to buy at amazon because it will go trough the tough inspection of customs that will take a long time. Although it would be easier to buy when lazada starts to accept bitcoin as payment so it will be convenient for us to buy anything online. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Maybe we can easily trade it to airtime, it is also easier to convert it to fiat, but it is hard for some of us to buy things online.

Heh, Seriously, for now, you can buy anything on the online store, maybe you can check on the internet and find more information about this, some online store on the internet can accept bitcoin become their payment for now.

Currently bitcoin is only practical for buying things online that you can't buy with fiat. Not until community focuses more on payroll integration will this change. ~~

I think you haven't checked the internet, purchasing with bitcoin online is already available in the Philippines though it wasn't widely used coz of the the limited BTC users, but little by little Coins.ph campaign on reaching out people to use bitcoin is somehow succesful. I suggest that you check https://coins.ph and register there to check and use their services, they even have list of merchants where you can use BTC as payment.

hat's right, as time goes by bitcoin will always thrive in our community and maybe directly proportional the increases online store can accept bitcoin become one of their payment.
