OK, nice.
But it is BIG FAIL!!! It is available only on US site. On international site this type of payment is not available. This is again one of basic ideas of cryptocurrencies - worldwide, borderless!!!!

Yet. It is not available yet. They are probably waiting to see if there is any uptake on the US site, and if there is then they will expand to the rest of the world.

They told me they're working on it.

I just hope this works well for them. The only thing I an see that may go wrong is when Bitcoins take a dive and they technically loose profit. I'm pretty sure they have that figured out anyways.

Coinbase has an option to automatically convert it into USD. They are probably doing that for most of their incoming funds.

I just ordered something and checked out with bitcoin so it is not a rumor, it is a fact and works just fine. 

Please try to find something you need on there and order it and pay with BTC so we can reward them for making this bold step and helping our community and the world as a whole.

We need to show support for them taking a risk with adopting BTC as payment.  Even if you don't need something, buy something small so they can report high transaction counts.

I agree. What is their international site which ships to the UK? Are products sent over from America or do they have European distribution.

Paying with BTC is only an option for items shipped to the US right now, other countries might be added later.

I know, pretty sure they said they will implement it later, but I wanted to know if they only ship from Stateside.
