Perhaps when you buy ebay items provide negative feedback "seller does not accept bitcoin" , maybe Eeebs will get the message?  |

Not only anonymity is a huge issue, the non refundable feature also plays a bit role in not being accepted. What many of users here think it's an advantage of BTC, it's actually huge cons on adoptability.
Refunds can be sorted out on site (eBay can act as a temporary escrow per transaction) I guess. Anonymity is the bigger issue because even if you make someone register, the company can't really trust where the money came from compared to PayPal, CCs or bank accounts.

This is just a fantasy of mine.
Since the split of ebay and paypal, buyers have been looking forward to more payment choices. I wonder if bitcoin is one of the considerations.
Amazon buyers with bitcoins have been using purse.io to get cheaper goods. I wonder how the implementation of bitcoin payment is going to impact the prices of bitcoins.
you can already do that via a middleman who is willing to pay in credit card funds... I think Purse.io can do that already. But I would too like to see amazon accepting BTC purchases directly. that would be very convenient. |

Come to think about it, there were more news about new merchants accepting bitcoins in 2014.
Those news are seldom heard now... Are there more (or less) businesses accepting bitcoins?? Many come and go so I guess it is the consumer adoption that matters more.

Amazon & eBay BTC acceptance will not impact BTC price in general, because BTC will expand mainly through bank system in future  |

I am not so fond of ebay but Amazon should definitely adopt Bitcoin payments as they have many offers running from day to day and they are the best online shopping portal in my country too. It is easy to get Amazon gift cards for BTC but it would be better if I can pay directly on the website with blockchain as it makes the transaction easier.

The time will come very soon when all the online purchase cane be happened with Bitcoins. EBay and Amazon will also accept Bitcoins in the future. Bitcoins information is spreading like a bullet train. |

No i don't think both of them will ever accept any cryptocurrency or any irreversible payment processors like perfect money.
They will not try to change their current policy regarding payments only to accept bitcoin.

Anytime I need something on Amazon I just buy using my Purse.io account. With Purse Instant I get a 5% discount and free Amazon Prime two day shipping. Never had a problem, I outlined the process with screenshots here. If you are going to buy from Amazon anyways why not use bitcoin and get free two day shipping:) |

Hope stores are open 24/7 when the stores opening is released in January 2016. |
