I have the script ready for distribution when the BTC is ready.
Includes:
Dynamic BitcoinPayFlow Library (bitcoinpayflow.php)
BitcoinPayFlow Test (payflowTest.php)
Callback using SHA2 for verification (callback.php)
BTW, their documentation is seriously lacking content. I have written 100's of API libraries and you always get a clear indication of the API url...
EDIT: Open Source - See sig

Thanks a lot for doing this. I'm going to try and incorporate your wrapper into an OpenCart plugin, when I do I'll open source it as well.

Why is Mybitcoin.com advertised all over the place like they are some sort of reliable bitcoin service? I sent them a little over 2 Bitcoins and they appeared in my account very fast. I then withdrew them from Mybitcoin.com and sent them somewhere else only to find they never got there. I tried using their internal messaging system and no reply. It has been almost 24 hours and my Bitcoins are still missing. The balance on Mybitcoin.com is back to 0 and the transfer history shows they were sent, however, the address I sent them to does not appear in the block explorer. I am sure they were never sent and Mybitcoin.com has my balance at zero. I ask again: Why is Mybitcoin.com treated as a legitimate business? Once this happened I searched for info about this company and all I found was several people saying they were robbed too. Mybitcoin.com deserves to get sued and the Bitcoin community needs to blacklist them publicly so newbies don't get discouraged after being robbed.
I know it's been several hours since this thread was started but... it can take some time for transactions to be processed and appear in Block Explorer and your wallet. If you haven't downloaded all of the blocks on your computer then you won't be able to see your incoming transaction. You have not provided us with the address that you sent your bitcoins to and have left us no way of verifying your claim.
I'm just covering some of the basics and I'm not defending MyBitcoin at all. I just checked and their site is down, who knows why or when it'll be up.
I've been working on a sort of MyBitcoin competition - bit-bank.org. It's quite similar to MyBitcoin, however I certainly hope it doesn't attain the reputation MyBitcoin has. 
Quite a simple interface - you're able to deposit / withdraw bitcoins, send them (instantly) to other Bit-Bank accounts, etc. Registered users are also given a custom URL - such as bit-bank.org/user/seeARMS for my own - which simply displays your BitCoin address.
If anyone has any opinions / feature requests, I'm all ears. I aim to be as open as possible to avoid the inevitable trust issue.

A shopping cart interface with ready-made modules for the main opensource e-commerce platforms, like prestashop for instance. You would kill mybitcoin in 1 week if you did that
I talked to my roaster today and we also have 40g bags and 200g bags. Pricing and shipping hasn't been determined for them yet, but the larger bags will be better value.
I have edited the first post with a bit more information.

Looks like the plan is starting to come together for you. Good luck
It really is. I'm still working on the shopping cart software and what the best way to list the coffee/bags. I've asked a webdesigner friend of mine to have a look at the site then it's a matter of swapping domains and setting up the SSL.
I prefer hot chocolate...
Thanks for letting us know...

Update:
I'm going to be talking to my roaster today to see about getting smaller bags so people can sample the coffee before making bigger orders.
You can see the work-in-progress store here: http://coffee.exiledcode.ca/ payment through the website has been disabled until the store is officially open. The pricing should be correct - if you would like to make an order please PM me on the forum and I'll process it manually.

Several different comments:
1. Since coffee is really a personal taste type thing, perhaps you should offer a sample pack? You have five different coffees listed so five small foil packs of 40g each, one for each blend, for .6 BTC + shipping? That's enough to make one press (about 4 cups) of each type to sample. Just a thought.
2. Not to pick on you specifically but Bitcoin is something that's suppose to be a worldwide type thing. While adding more merchants that take Bitcoin is nice, it kinda defeats part of the purpose if everyone is going "We accept Bitcoins, but we only ship to Canada/EU/US/Japan/somewhere." If someone is willing to pay the shipping, I don't see the problem in selling them whatever is for sale. Granted that they might end up paying 10 Bitcoins in shipping a 2 Bitcoin item, but that should be left up to the buyer. Give fair warning, then let them do what they want.
I like my Eight O'Clock Original Roast

Thanks for the feedback, it really is appreciated.
Small sample bags is a great idea, I will talk to my roaster today. In terms of international shipping, we're small and want to keep things simple. I don't know much about what regulations or limitations are in place. If things pick up within Canada, it's possible we'll look into expanding our reach.
Again, thanks for the feedback.
Hi all,
I'm setting up an online store (still a work in progress) to sell organic fair trade coffee.
All Coffee comes in 400g sealed foil bags.
Coffee is roasted to order so it's always fresh.
Coffee:
.86 BTC each
.71 BTC for 2+
.93 BTC each
.79 BTC for 2+
Shipping:
.62 for British Columbia
.98 for the rest of Canada
Orders of 2-3 bags is recommended as they fit well in our packaging.
Will grind coffee if requested (not recommended as it looses freshness).
Feel free to ask any questions.
Canada ONLY

Is this going to be open source? I'm sorry but I wouldn't trust my credentials with a closed sourced application unless it was backed by a well known company.
No hard feelings and good luck with your application.

Hi,
I'm working on creating an online store selling coffee. The old "static" website is http://qualicumcoffee.com the new site will be at the same domain and accept bitcoins.
Thanks,
Simon

I don't drink coffee, but I will wish you luck in selling your product since it's fair trade. 
Thanks!
Haroooo!!!
Nice to see a few fellow Canadians around. Sorry I can't help with your venture...I live too dam close to a Timmys....but will keep you in mind!

Fair enough, each to their own.
I will say that our coffee makes a great gift - we can ship straight to them with a message/card.
How good is this compared to regular Starbucks coffee?
It's a tough comparison in the sense that they're very different. Our coffee is roasted to order so it's much fresher - Starbucks can't compete with that. Taste-wise it comes down to what you like. Personally I generally don't like dark coffee, but I do like our dark Mexican roast.
It's a bit of a leap of faith. You have to shell out a bit of money and you risk not liking the roast, but on the other hand you might find a roast that you love.
When do you think you'll be ready for business?
We're ready for business now.
The online store is a work in progress. I'm running it by a friend who's a web designer. Then I have to sort a couple things out with the domain name and SSL. Finally I have to do a quick security check and make sure the payment system works as it should. Could be ready in a week or two depending on how things move.
Actually, Canada has a very advanced bitcoin exchange operating at http://www.cavirtex.com. It's compliant with all laws and regulations, and there are always hundreds of btc for sale there. The best part, you can deposit by Interac email money transfer! If you have any questions, come to #bitcoin-cad on irc (freenode).

Very professional site. I transferred $50 to them via online bill payment with $0 fee. They just lowered their trade fee from 1% to.59%.
