Title: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: Cryptology on June 16, 2014, 07:17:58 AM I'm test auctioning 0.1 BTC in eBAY here: http://www.ebay.it/itm/121363179174
Payment via PayPal. Title: Re: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: twentyseventy on June 16, 2014, 02:33:09 PM Someone will buy it, get the BTC, and do a credit chargeback. You will lose the BTC.
Title: Re: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: AcoinL.L.C on June 16, 2014, 03:06:51 PM Someone will buy it, get the BTC, and do a credit chargeback. You will lose the BTC. Paypal / ebay give 0 support for cryptocurencies Not to mention they charge ridiculous fee's on cryptocurrencies (on ebay). You should put .1BTC on a physical wallet, and sell the wallet, so you can provide tracking to protect against chargebacks Title: Re: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: Cryptology on June 16, 2014, 03:21:19 PM I'm aware of that risk. Thanks for the feedback.

That was a while ago when paypal detested bitcoin though. Title: Re: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: Cryptology on June 16, 2014, 04:59:23 PM Someone will buy it, get the BTC, and do a credit chargeback.

Title: Re: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: Mountaingoat on June 16, 2014, 10:54:52 PM eBay doesn't accept things with cryptocurrency in The Netherlands and it is against the terms of service of Paypal to buy cryptocurrencies with it I am pretty sure.
Title: Re: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: Neotox on June 18, 2014, 05:28:42 AM get ready for chargebacks

Title: Re: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: Cryptology on June 18, 2014, 07:23:34 AM I'll buy it off you for Bitstamp current rate if you're interested. feel free to bid ;) Title: Re: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: nahtnam on June 20, 2014, 06:52:32 PM Its against the rules. You can get your paypal account banned.
Title: Re: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: Cryptology on June 20, 2014, 07:21:02 PM Its against the rules. You can get your paypal account banned. Actually eBay allows selling digital currencies but you're right with PayPal, they don't like it. I wasn't aware of this when I started the auction but now I know. In anycase I want to run this as an experiment so will let it go ahead and will not repeat using PayPal.

That way they cant chargeback. Title: Re: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: Cryptology on June 20, 2014, 07:27:40 PM Its against the rules. You can get your paypal account banned.

Anyhow for respect for honest people that have bid I will let it run and see what happens. Stay tuned.

Title: Re: [BTC] eBay Auction Post by: Cryptology on June 20, 2014, 08:22:14 PM Just had a security concerrn and closed both auctions. This forum is plenty of scammers looking for all soft edges. Beware honest people.
To close the trade both bidders were given the opportunity to close the deal at their bidding price even if this is against eBays' rules. I'm sure eBay would understand. Anyhow I do not recommend at all selling cryptos in eBay and even less collecting via PayPal. if you do that you'll end having trouble. Stay safe. C.
