sorry to sound deflated just can't see as huge news

Big News Friday should become the new saying, they do a tipping tuesday i hear so...

Weak and unimpressed

This is THE big news?

tzzzzzz

Thought it was something big but at least this is better than nothing. Even if it is not a direct purchase of items at ebay but at least it does create some opportunity for more coins adoption.

News of vendors now accepting Bitcoin as payment is no longer big news.  If two years ago Microsoft had said they were accepting Bitcoin, that would have been very big news indeed.  Today that is hardly the case.

On the other hand, if a major bank or company such as Paypal allowed you to convert your fiat to Bitcoin using their platform, that would be much larger news.

The barrier to entry for people at the moment is not the question of whether they'll be able to spend Bitcoin, but rather the difficulty in initially obtaining Bitcoin.

And no, this is not "the big news".

Pretty cool. Looking forward to the day we can just buy stuff directly on Fleabay with btc, failing that I'll just wait for Open Bazaar to get more user friendly.

Related to bitcoin, NO BIG NEWS!!!  >:(

don't take personally elwar you are one of members here I respect most  ;)

Ya, I guess it's not the big news.

Big news for me though. I have more shopping options. For me, that's all that matters with Bitcoin.

Bit of a let down its kind of shit news..you could of done this before if you really wanted too.

Sadly I agree, though I suppose it as at least good news but not what I was expecting. Has this been confirmed as the good news people were talking about, though? Something else could still be coming?

I guess its more shopping options but nt major news.

Its great to see the possibility to purchase anything with bitcoins now days.

The news is positive indeed, but 'big'? No.

Big would be if the Gyft service would be available outside the US :(

WTF?!!

Bitstamp just peaked at $384 might that be because this article?

Oh thanks for saying.
Sounds really nice that we can buy stuff from ebay now :)

Just got an email from Gyft about that. So it's on the same level as me buying an Amazon gift card with Bitcoin. It's a workaround for the fact that Amazon and eBay don't seem to "get" Bitcoin. But it ain't bad.

Not game changing news but something which is positive them guys on twitter I can never take them seriously again...
