Out of curiosity: are there sellers on BL who accept Bitcoin as a payment method
for their customers?

If so, how did you organize it?

I have owned some Bitcoin for years and in the last year it has almost tripled
in value, so as a buyer I have some money to spend.

I have seen at least 1 store who accepts it, but unfortunately I can’t be of
any more then that as I don’t remember the stores name and I’ve no idea how they
set it up. I do believe they were in the USA but that dosent really narrow it
down 😅. A small possible “idea” is “manually” via stripe if that’s something
that can be done as if I’m not mistaken they accept crypto as payment tho that’s
just a possible lead and I don’t know more sorry to say

Yes, I've seen a few.


  If so, how did you organize it?

They use the "Cash" payment method for example.
It's a manual invoice, I guess they convert the currency to a crypto and
send you the amount to pay in this or that crypto... The conversion is valid
for some relatively short time I guess.

Please pick a reputed seller; otherwise it's like cash there's no way
to get a refund in case of problem.

Is the refund in the currency value or is it in Bitcoin?

That is: if you pay BTC0.01 when BTC1 = $100,000, do you get refunded $100
or BTC0.01 when BTC1 = $50,000?

(Not even talking about the fees….)

... and the taxes, and the fact seller must have an indirect payment method.

OP you may better register to Kraken and sell your cryptos - of course that depends
of how much you've to spend, and if it's worth your time and energy.

probably impossible for those sellers located in a place where bricklink must
collect taxes as well, it's not an Onsite payment method
