Yes, I found this article --> http://cointelegraph.com/news/114875/ebay-forbids-bitcoin-for-payments-removes-merchant-listing

I would not get my hopes up, that they would accept Bitcoin as a payment method.

They have their own agenda, and I would not be surprised if they go for something like Ripple or their own Alt coin developed just for them.

OpenBazaar needs to grow bigger to kick these guys out of the market, they have had the rule of the roost for too long now.  Roll Eyes

Ebay and Paypal signed a contract that Ebay has to use Paypal as first payment option for at least another year after the split. Thus, after that year Bitcoin could be a serious option.

They would need something that is publicly accepted, understood and easily available. Unless some major changes will happen in the following year in the perception of Bitcoin I would doubt that it would be considered as a "first payment option". Maybe accepted among other things yes, but credit card payments, continuing with PayPal or something along these lines is more likely.

I think Ebay lost many sellers with their pursuit of the shop style seller rather than the small guy who helped build Ebay as an auction rather than the buy-it-now system they prefer.

In my opinion, bitcoin will replace paypal very soon. Actually Paypal has so much restrictions on many countries. all these might push bitcoin to take over very soon.

I'm definitely pulling hard for eBay to accept BTC.
