I see no mention of it on the UK and Australia sites.
i think you see it on payment options when you buy something try a test of that Searing |
Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:) |

Holy cow. I thought it would be a bit longer before they implemented it - guess Overstock accepting it was a big turning point for them. Well it's nice to see more major retailers takig Bitcoin seriously, the more merchants there are the more consumers will be interested in it and possibly begin using it.
not too surprising. Tiger Direct has been accepting it for awhile now and I am sure Newegg doesn't like loosing all their potential bitcoin customers to their competition. |

From what I understand it is only in US right now, could be easily wrong but that is what I thought I read somewhere..... You can always check yourself by making an account and then when you get to the payment part, if BTC is an option, I guess you can use it. |

Checked the UK and Australia websites.
There is no option for bitcoin payment at check out unfortunately.
Hopefully this will change in future.
On a side note, delivery in Australia costs a fortune.

LOL! this community is funny. Nope, they're not taking BTC. They're taking USD from Bitpay. Of course they're not actually gonna touch something like BTC, wouldn't make much business sense at all.

is that the kind of thing you would have said about overstock too? newegg could eventually do what they do, and take out a portion of it. |

Kind of a silly thing to say. You could say the same thing about any payment method that isn't cash in the mail. "They don't actually take Visa, they let a 3rd party handle it and take cash from the payment processor." "They don't actually accept Euro, they have their bank convert it and take dollars." Etc etc for literally any payment method. What they do on their end is their business. People just want a choice in how to pay, and that isn't a bad thing. |

I have never shopped at newegg, but from what i have seen about the company, it looks really good for BTC. I checked out the website, I like how they announce BTC adoption right on the homepage. A lot of the larger corporations that started accepting BTC (like Dish Network), did not do that...

You're ignoring a huge difference between real money and BTC. A business cannot risk actually touching BTC, as their banks would likely stop doing business with them. They also risk becoming a target of launderers, and thus risk criminal investigation. Besides the wild fluctuations in value that make BTC as a currency very dumb, the rampant criminal activity in this community assures that no business will touch BTC except through shady VC-funded ops like Bitpay. |

man, you're from CA but never shopped at newegg? what is with that? outside of amazon, newegg is probably the biggest internet retailer in america. maybe you don't want to pay the 9% sales tax though. |

You're getting pretty desperate to justify your outdated viewpoint, keep the blinders on, the world will move on without you  . Sorry for feeding the troll, I'll stop. |

Sorry for feeding the troll, I'll stop. i'm not quite sure if he's a troll, but he's definitely wrong. overstock has hoarded some bitcoins, and im sure banks are still working with them. |
