Title: Now accepting bitcoin for items on my ebay site!
Post by: adwhite11 on January 25, 2014, 01:19:54 AM
Come have a look.  I try to put up new stuff every so often.  Usually adidas or nike sportswear.  We can discuss payment and escrow if needed.  Link to my store below.  Thank you for your interest!

Isn't this against eBay TOS?

Well you might get your listings removed for mentioning or accepting Bitcoin, but his listings don't seem to so I reckon he'll be alright.

I'll take a look at your page. I really hope eBay will start accepting bitcoin in the near future.

I'm sure they will. I think they announced that they're officially allowing them to be listed sometime in February I think. I don't know whether that means you'll be able to pay for things in Bitcoin though. I doubt it.

Thanks for the input.  Any transactions done with bitcoin would be completely separate from ebay.  If anyone is interested in a listing just let me know on here and I will take down the listing on ebay before proceeding with the transaction privately.  Don't see why this would violate any regulations. 

Hopefully one day bitcoin will be a payment option on ebay!  Would be a perfect match.

Yeah is against TOS, all someone has to do is report you.   I doubt they will allow bitcoin unless they can implement escrow with it.  but then sellers can get scammed since they always have favored with buyers.

Actually I dont want ebay for anything I want someone to come in and kick there arse for pushing sellers off the map with there high fees.
