today is the 10th of February, any updates about this?
are there any new rules on ebay to protect seller and buyer? I wasn't able to find anything about this!
No, there is no update, and there will never be bcause main problem isnt "blockchain", it's paypals rule that "customer" is always right. I felt it on my own skin. Guy gough BTC, i delivered, and than he clamed that he does not recognize transaction, that his account was probably hacked, and he got his money back and i lost my BTC.
Basicly, scam is not "oh noh i didint got my BTC", it's "OMG my credit card / paypal account got hacked, pls return my money" and there is nothing we can do. It's happening all over the ebay all the time, not only BTC, and in 99 oit of 100 cases beay / paypal sides with buyer. As simple as that. When you deal with PayPal, calculate certain percentage of this into your price and youll be good.
Well it's just a matter of willing...
If paypal recognize as 'sent' the transactions of the blockchain where there is the proof of delivery from address A to address B where every passage is tracked and approved by many poeole, there couldn't be any problem.
Could be considered like a phisical object and tracked like a courier could with a pair of shoes... can they say: "OMG my credit card / paypal account got hacked, pls return my money even if i bought this pair of shoes?" ... They ask the seller the proof of tracking, like could be done with cryptocurrencies... even easier in this last case since, the proof will be there forever online and won't disappear after few months like any courier database.
As said is just a porblem of willing, if they don't intend to, they'll never do it even if it could be the safest sysytem of the world...
