How Many People Here Sell on eBay

[Maskedman]

I do. A lot of people do.

[Windpower]

Hmm interesting question... I used to sell on eBay but now I like Craigslist more.

[avw1982]

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.

Personally I don’t have experience to use for selling the goods thorugh Ebay. But One of my friend have own trading company. He have a account in Ebay and He use to advertise and sell the items through Ebay.

No I don't sell on ebay, I have heard various horror stories of sellers getting scammed by people who after receiving the product claimed that the product delivered to them was in bad condition and they received charge back for it. Its too risky, I'd rather find some buyers locally and deal them face to face then selling things on ebay.

This is the problem with selling physical goods online, ebay protects the buyer but there is no protection for the seller. Unless the goods are sent to a mediator which both parties can trust, these scams will continue but having a mediator in between for physical goods increases the shipping and handling costs and which is why even that won't work.

I guess the charge back problem can be solved, if eBay adopt Bitcoin and serve as a escrow service for the funds. I doubt, if they would want to burden themselves with that, but

if they get a decent payment for the service through additional fee's, it would probably be worth their time and effort. I sold some stuff on eBay before, but I too had some horror

experiences with that. {People will find ANY excuse not to pay for products or get it at a reduced cost} 

[Amph]

few things here and there, especially those things that i was going to sell here, but no one is interested, there is a greater demand on ebay

with the released of open bazar i'm planning to try that, because i really want to avoid buying bitcoin with fiat, i want to earn as much as possible, bitcoin directly

[omahapoker]

I sell  a lot of things on Ebay. I even offer a small discount when they pay me with Bitcoin... Spread the bitcoin love guys!

Which country are you based? I thought there was a ban of using bitcoin on Ebay. Has that changed?

[jt byte]

I Did some some Antminers S3 on Ebay. It's really easy and fast.

If you find a buyer with a good reputation and or use paypal there is hardly any risk. Plus the site is big, you will get many bigds.

[helloeverybody]

I sell on eBay and would be happy accepting btc for every sale,  I've written before that I would accept Bitcoin but my ads were pulled and I was given a warning so now I try and be subtle with my Bitcoin pitch,  so far 0 Bitcoin sales.

[Rizky Aditya]

I don't sell anything on ebay, but I do but a lot of things off ebay. I wish that I could buy things on ebay with bitcoin.

[CoinsRoyal]

I don't use eBay that much in my country. But sometime I have used it.
Don't really need to sell some of my stuff of my bitcoins. I just prefer Craigslist.

[Snail2]

I've used to get rid of stuff what still working but I no longer need it, and also used to buy spare parts, and some interesting vintage stuff. I wouldn't be very happy if eBay/Paypal could start tinkering around my bitcoins. I don't really trust them.

[fravia]

well i dont sell any of my goods online what means that i dont use ebay for selling stuff i have though i sometimes use it for buying the presents or something like that and i often pay with the bitcoins i collect every time everything goes through smoothly and i dont have any problems with that

I don't think that its too risky to sell on ebay. No doubt i don't have any personal experience of selling anything on this site but many of my friends have done so. Sometimes one is not able to find a buyer in local areas so eBay can be a good option going online to sell stuffs.

[countryfree]

I have never used Ebay to buy or sell anything, because this website is marginal in most of the countries I'm spending time in. In Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Morocco, Slovenia, Ebay isn't the right place to do business. Even in Germany, Ebay is far from the best place to sell a car. Ebay's mostly American.

Don't know about other countries, but in UK there was no such ban afaik. Since you can accept cash on collection or bank transfer (so things outside ebay's control) then you can accept any form of payment.

But, from what I know, there is a ban on accepting paypal payments on selling bitcoins.

Ebay UK has also dedicated subcategory for cryptocurrency.

No I had mine pulled for advertising that I accept Bitcoin,  that's why I wasnt sure if they even had a cash and cheque option anymore.

[WENGER]

Yes I also do Buy and Sell of goods on eBay and if ever there will be a Bitcoin integration payment, almost everyone would benefit for it due to its flexibility of use in comparison to the other available payments. Are you working on eBay (as in being on the team behind it?)

[e1ghtSpace]

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.

I would rather people pay in Bitcoin because then paypal cannot allow them to chargeback.
