Not that much difference really, people in other countries can purchase from UK as well(no shipping problem ;)). Consider the hostile regulatory environment in U.S and many other places, I would say it's probably as far as they can go.

Does this mean the UK is the most liberal bitcoin environment that eBay operates in? That does surprise me ;) Title: Re: [2014-01-16] eBay UK to Allow Sale of Virtual Currency from 10th February Post by: oakpacific on January 17, 2014, 05:12:22 AM That's brilliant news - just the UK though?

That does surprise me ;) Certainly not, but it maybe what their powerbrokers and relation people can secure for them.(they are really good at that, Paypal is about the only foreign payment company which can legally circumvent China's capital control) I personally do not favor a coordinated global launch, not to attract the U.S regulators attention too early...

Hey overstock just launched in US, porn.com, newegg.com to hopefully follow soon. If the US regulators haven't noticed yet what's going, they must not be connected to the Net ;) Title: Re: [2014-01-16] eBay UK to Allow Sale of Virtual Currency from 10th February Post by: oakpacific on January 17, 2014, 05:21:06 AM That's brilliant news - just the UK though?

OK cool. Get your point. Still think its a huge step forward, I thought it would a be a long time before eBay in any country would move towards accepting virtual currency sales. Bodes well for the next few months.

Absolutely, as I have said, Chinese can theoretically transfer unlimited RMB using Paypal as well, now those hardcore apparatchiks are going to have a really hard time... ;) Title: Re: [2014-01-16] eBay UK to Allow Sale of Virtual Currency from 10th February Post by: e521 on January 17, 2014, 11:31:49 PM eBay allow sale of bitcoin, OK, how is this going to work with paypal and buyer protection?
if paypal doesn't update the rules as well it will be so easy to scam free coins Title: Re: [2014-01-16] eBay UK to Allow Sale of Virtual Currency from 10th February Post by: exstasie on January 18, 2014, 01:46:01 AM I wonder if this will start a precedence for the other eBay sites, besides the US. I guess it doesn't really matter as exchange rates don't really apply to BTC lol

What's the "final value fee" percentage on sales ?? TIA .. Triff .. It need to be in the Virtual Currency section, also no auction is allow. I guess this is good news, I hope the price of BTC will go up with this.

When eBay US does the same thing, the price of bitcoin will move up. eBay UK isn't big enough to affect market sentiment in a major way |
