Bitspend has an amazing first week!

[Bitspend.net]

Bitspend has had an awesome first week bringing purchasing freedom to bitcoin owners, giving our community the ability to buy anything, anywhere, anytime. The orders have been flooding in with a 99% success rate. The 1% of issues had nothing to do with Bitspend but rather with the merchants not being able to ship certain items to the client.

Orders have come in from Australia, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Japan, United States and more. Site traffic is very high, we've had to increase our bandwidth at least 4 times already.

Trust, security, ease and anonymity are incredibly important to Bitspend and so far our clients have enjoyed our service. We will be releasing some new features this coming week as well so please check us out at http://www.bitspend.net

Tell us about your experience with Bitspend.net. We'd love to hear about it!

grats to you guys, it's great seeing all these businesses spring up.

The funniest story from this week now that you mention it: a gentleman sent us his grocery list. I'm sure he was trying to push us to the limit but it worked perfectly. We received his list of items, we ordered them for him and they were delivered on time. With some of our coming tools this will become even more easy. We couldn't be more thrilled with how things are going.

Can you use 3rd party escrow with BitSpend?

Can you use 3rd party escrow with BitSpend?

As of now no.  We know your trust is the hardest thing we have to earn as a company, but we are off to a great start.  Over $7,000 in orders have been placed with us this first 5 days!!  We have an open-office policy, meaning anyone can come by our South Florida office and say hi or even ask about Bitcoins(see our address and location on the contact us page on our site). 

We operate as transparent and open as possible, so we can earn the trust of the Bitcoin community.  If you are in FL, come by

Can I buy a car on ebay with bitspend?

[BitSpend]

I thought about a long and comical response to give you, but I figured the cold hard fact of a definitive answer would be best.

Can I buy a car on ebay with bitspend?

Yes.

I don't get the product.  It's not clear for your ringing endorsement of your own business or your web site.  It looks like you shop for a fee.  Maybe you should have a "How it works" page.

Are there other businesses that do this?  Do they make money?  I've never heard of it except for wealthy people who need their time for things other than shopping.

"Bitspend allows anyone, to shop anywhere online, and pay with Bitcoins when the merchant does not accept them. Order your item through Bitspend, pay in Bitcoins, and we pay the merchant in their chosen format for you!"

I apologize if it isn't clear to you--maybe we need to do some work on that on our end to better clarify for those who do not know what site they are visiting.  For the most part, those who visit us know exactly what they are there... to buy anything, from any website, using your Bitcoins as payment

Any chance for Gamestop gift cards??? Or Moneypaks?

Any chance for Gamestop gift cards??? Or Moneypaks?

We're intentionally avoiding any and all "gift cards" right now, until we have 100% legal clearance to do so, as there is a big grey area there when it comes to the Anti-Money Laundering laws, and we in no way want to violate any law which could threaten our otherwise legitimate business.

In the future, when(if) our attorneys give us the go on that, we will offer it

[dayasinfo]

Okay no problem! I knew it was some legal ish :-)

That is on you home page only 33% of the time.  I totally missed it.  Because it's part of a display that keeps changing I ignored it while looking elsewhere for a description.

Don't get us wrong, we love the constructive criticism, it lets us improve our service to you.  While the majority of those who visit Bitspend know why they are there, you have a great point.  We will work to make it more clear what our service is "in a nutshell", on a more prominent area of the main page.
