How Many People Here Sell on eBay

[knightkon]

I am looking to see how many people sell on eBay.  If you do sell on eBay and would like to be able to use Bitcoin, please let us know here and why.  Just doing some general research.

I have been using ebay for years to buy stuff, but I have never sold a single thing, I actually have no idea how the system works to sell stuff, like, you have to bring the stuff to the postal office, or you hire someone like UPS to come to your door and take the package.. I have no idea.

Anyway, I hope OpenBazar is a success, and maybe I start selling something.

I've been buying and selling on ebay for about 15 years now. I would love to be able to take Bitcoin, and in fact I put that in my last listing for a Nintendo game as an option. I'd also like to be able to pay with Bitcoin, of course.

If you mean selling on eBay generally as in real life goods and stuff, yes. If you meant that selling BTC on eBay, no.

And yes, I would like to see BTC used on eBay, with a premium over paypal.

But isn't any seller already able to accept BTC for their eBay listings? I've seen quite a few sellers that accepted bitcoins.

Although it must be a bit of pain, you would have to instruct the buyer to check the rate himself and then calculate and send the right BTC amount, or you would have to keep the buyer waiting for instructions in private message.

OP, do you have any automated service in mind? If so, that sounds interesting.

Not selling BTC itself. but I'd really like to sell some Tshirts on ebay later. I wanted to print Bitcoin Tshirts designs and sell it for BTC too. I may not be able to send outside our country though but surely I can locally. I just don't know if local bitcoin fans will really buy such stuff. Selling may take time to gain but will join groups so I could promote my products to them as well.

Has anyone you know selling these stuff??

yesterday I tried to sell bitcoin on ebay at a higher price, of course it must be sold, but the thing is, you have to pay first to sell there,
I preferto choose sell at amazon

[hacksmash]

I sell actual items there, not BTC's.
Usually my e-waste (Cell phones & Wireless access points etc) or other deals I come across.

Me but I have stopped after many people scammed me with chargeback. Fuck EBAY, fuck PAYPAL. I will only use ebay again when they let sellers accept bitcoin

[7788bitcoin]

I used to be a seller on eBay but business had poor business... Before I stop selling I tried accepting BTC but had no one paying with BTC.

Hopefully bitcoin will be more popular among the buyer in future.

[lumeire]

I do regularly sell stuff on eBay, but unless there'll be an automated option, I'd prefer PayPal for the meantime.

[Sir_lagsalot]

I'm an eBay seller, but if rather not reveal myself if I have to, thanks. I think bitcoin will be great on eBay, but to be honest, it won't change a thing. Not enough people use bitcoin for eBay to care. What I do, is convert my sales into bitcoin. Pretty much no difference.

[ShrykeZ]

I don't sell a lot although I have sold previously and do plan on selling more items in the future, I have purchased quite a lot of miners on eBay within the last 2 years though.

[MyBTT]

I sell on eBay. Many of my friends do too.

I use it to sell secondhand stuff.

[DaddyMonsi]

I use ebay to buy something which is not available in my country. I find ebay a better place to buy items online because of the sellers there take's care of their reputation. It's very seldom that I sell items there. But my account in ebay is very old.

I hear so many bad feedbacks on ebay related to chargeback.
You say that anyone sells on ebay ? But I say I never used ebay as a buyer also because of its bad condition. And no one should use ebay I suggest them.

[str4wm4n]

It's my main gig. Would be cool to actually get bitcoin from sales

[target]

Bid price to buy bitcoin matters actually. That is also the reason I don't buy bitcoin but rather earn it.


Apparently for those who don't have any knowledge about bitcoin will shy away upon seeing its price listed on ebay and may even think they'd be scammed.
the scenario if ebay allows bitcoin is that they go to ebay to simply save a dollar by buying online or maybe used items but instead they'd have to buy bitcoin to buy something.
In their minds, bitcoin is a scam itself.

Bad buyer and bad sellers abound.

Charge backs are common----So you need to understand all chargeback rules to sell and defend yourself from chargebacks.

I do not sell like I used to sell  as  bad  buyers are sneaky mofo's.



I still buy on ebay quite a bit.  When I buy I want paypal only to pay.

Surely that will change in a year as even Amazon is using Bitcoin now.
