Does Bitcoin work for online shopping?

[peter0093]

bitcoin is a good online shopping now a day here well be creating shopping now a day by bitcoin because its also a currency but it is a online currency to get shopping by it

[Restmand]

When you buy something on eBay or Amazon, you pay the seller, he ships the product and upload a tracking number.
If you haven't received the item, you can call eBay or Amazon and, basically, what happens is that if they have a tracking number that shows that the item has been delivered, then it is ok, otherwise eBay or Amazon reverses the transaction and you get your money back.
Is that possible with bitcoin? What if I buy a boat online for 2 bitcoins and I never receive it? Is bitcoin able to solve this problem?

Thanks

bitcoin is work only in the online shopping and its not exist in the real word bitcoin cannot solve the problem in that scenario like you said because its only for online. its not an fiat money so they cant turn it back and i think that's your fault because why do you buy a 2 boat in the online shopping ? yes you can guarantee that you're item will be delivered to you but what if the hackers and the scammers will intervense your item ? so its your fault you know that the risk is always near you when you talk about money

Bitcoin was designed to make transactions irreversible. It has many advantages but for some people it's the main reason why they don't want to switch to Bitcoin. There are few companies which accept Bitcoin from you and pay with fiat to merchant. So far, I have only used bitpay.com. It's quite convenient and works without any problem. However, I try not to spend my BTC.

That is a disadvantage of using bitcoin. As we don't have any chance to bring back our money just in a single mistake. I don't discourage people to do not used bitcoin, actually this is an information that might happen in any transaction. But this is not usually happen, in fact using bitcoin could be more effecient if we used it wisely and  a secured transaction.

In more places bitcoin is use for online shopping only, but still there are some places where bitcoin is also use in offline shops also. For example in my area there is one Shopping Mall who are accepting bitcoin for shopping. Similarly in  Brazil there are so many other shops who are also accepting bitcoin, similarly in Japan I am sure that there will also be so many shops who will be accepting bitcoin, because they have already accepted bitcoin as legal currency.

I think there are online stores that use Bitcoin as a transaction tool. Not only online businesses that use Bitcoin as payment, but I think in various online stores in the Deep Web, some use Bitcoin. That's because people feel, by using Bitcoin they become safe and untraceable. And also there is no limit as there is on Paypal or bank. For example there are limits such as the transferred limit, or if in the bank .. people who do large transactions will be suspected and may be questioned.

I actually works best in online shopping in my opinion since I'm not actually a fan of debit and credit cards and I find the processing to much of a hassle so I really appreciate how fast and user friendly bitcoin is. I actually tried even using it to buy ingame local credits and shop items from other people seamlessly with just internet and phone would do. I find it more secure also that actually sending and storing real money.

[cryptodyn]

Sure it does. There are plenty of websites accepting bitcoin. Search on google.

[Fasdartin]

Now Amazon, Ebay online shopping have started  accept bitcoin without deliver items. And it's not sure they will give you your money back or not.
As bitcoin is a online currency so online shopping site should accept it without delay.Hope in future it would be easy to shopping with bitcoin.

Yes you can use bitcoin for anywhere, for all of your online shopping. But be careful in some online shop because some of them is fraud. You can also use it in transferring money without third person to oversee it.

It cannot be undone since bitcoin I think is irreversible.  If you paid the item using bitcoin in online transaction and it was delivered but your item that has been purchased online was not, then it is the company or the seller that you should contact with just like what you said in your first three sentences.  Considering the high price of bitcoin and you bought something to unknown and not familiar online store or shop, then it is a problem as you do not know where to ask for the refund.  Unlike the big store such as eBay and Amazon where they are well known.

Yes for me bitcoin can work for online shopping because there are so many people who wants to have a bitcoin so you can use your bitcoin for online shopping. Just like what others said even Amazon accept bitcoin so I think other online shop will accept it because why they refuse to it if bitcoin is just a limited? that's my opinion

It's not as problematic as they think, I bet they want to make popular amaxon pay, paypal, not bitcoin. Bitcoin is bad idea for refunding but there is a way to solve it, we need something like bitpay where we will identify documents and get similar wallet of paypal, where major currency will be bitcoin and transactions will be like it's on xapo, with no fees for it's users. In this way, refunding will be comfortable and instant.
And the reason why it's great way is that some shops don't accept interbational cards and I have to request my friend(s) in usa to buy things for me. So bitcoin will be fix of this problem. I can still write so much about it..

[Delarock]

Using Bitcoin as an online shopping payment makes it easier for users to buy things without having to go out to bank for transfers the money.

[conceivedspoon2]

Bitcoin does not create a room for refund of bitcoin. But majorly it is rare for there not to be delivery of your fund  though. Every merchant has a wallet to check the correspondence of transaction if there's any issue.

[siddu67]

I heard from my friends that some  websites or online basis marketing use btc as their payment method .  it is really a great way   it is safe and secured.  And it is containing low fees as well .
