I've seen a few sites like this now, but I don't understand how you can buy things from ebay like this..

How do you handle ebay disputes, returns and refunds?

neat concept, thanks for sharing.

We accept Bitcoins, and purchase the Ebay item for you automatically using the Ebay API. The only other site that I am aware of that functioned in exactly this manner (although manually, rather than through API) was Bitspend, however they appear to no longer be operating.
We handle all disputes in our marketplace, ebay or otherwise, in the same manner. Each ebay item has a specified shipping time; after this time, there is a 7 day grace period, during which the purchaser may file a dispute (and, during which we hold the funds in escrow if the seller is not from ebay). When a user files a dispute, we will relay that dispute to ebay if we need to. After the 7 day grace period has expired, if no dispute has been filed, the funds are then paid to the seller irrevocably and the customer loses the ability to file a dispute.

In the case of an Ebay refund, we will refund our user upon receiving our refund from ebay.

I didn't know Bitspend was closed, but all4btc.com is another option and I think they're a bit cheaper too.

My main concern with these websites is how refunds are handled. A large percentage of ebay purchases end with a refund, a return or a dispute. Disputes can get messy, especially when you're handling them on someone else's behalf, but i'm more interested in your specific refund policy.

Just as an example..
I want to buy a mobile phone from ebay for $120.
I use your website and pay 1BTC.
Two weeks later my new phone hasn't arrived and 1BTC is now worth $150.
I want a full refund.
Do I get 1BTC or 0.8BTC?

If you purchase from Ebay, you will get 0.8 BTC. If you purchase from one of our own Cloud Coin marketplace sellers, you will get 1 BTC.

Spend bitcoin on ebay looks great. I might use it in the future.

Bumping.
