I've bought stuff at least a couple of times. Most notable was when a client paid money onto a Namecheap account (for a domain name) but accidentally missed a sub-charge (and I forgot about it too). This meant that the account balance was a few pennies short of the price of a domain. If I used my credit card or Paypal not only could I end up linking my card with someone elses account but there was also a minimum of $5 charge (you could not add pennies). So I added the remaining pennies in Bitcoins and just a few seconds latter the balance had gone up and I could buy the domain name. :) I had a very good experience and it was a lot faster than even logging in with Paypal. I would also strongly recommend Namecheap to anyone. It's a very good company.
