I don't see eBay making a site or a contract to any site with bitcoins as major currency.
Last year, eGifter
did an interview about how great their deal with eBay was for people to spend bitcoins. How could eBay have entered such a deal without knowing that Bitcoin was a prominent component of eGifter's business?
It isn't surprising that a company to stop offering bitcoin as payment because they have the right to do so
I do not dispute their right to do such things. However, it is quite disappointing. What could have happened recently to make them back out of this?
the reasons for doing that is something that we can not accurately identify unless they state it themselves.
Fair enough. But seeing as eBay is not known for being friendly toward Bitcoin, I have to wonder, you know? Anyway, I know full well it could be something else entirely, which is why I added the "Or was it something else?"
By the way, eGifter's own
Bitcoin promotion page (or whatever you want to call it) clearly states at the time I write this that you can "Buy
any of our 200+ eGift Cards with your bitcoin" (emphasis mine). The great big graphic even features the eBay logo right on top of a stack! Dropping Bitcoin for eBay seems to be a recent thing, so they may just not have had time to fix it, but they
do need to fix it soon.
