Ebay has played a great role in the success of PayPal in becoming leading payment processor.Do we need a similar ebay like site to popularize Bitcoin and make it leader in money transfer?

We have one retailer who is big on Bitcoin - Overstock.
The problem is the initial hype generated on bitcoin sales at Overstock died down very quickly.

[calkob]

We dont need it i think bitcoin will get there on its own but lets face it it wouldnt hurt if a massive online company like eBay started using it.

not tested

is this accepting bitcoin and are they delivering world wide? if anyone tried this site i want to buy some items so that i can use some of my bitcoins

[Wendigo]

I don't think we have worthy substitutes for Ebay and Amazon at the moment. Overstock is too expensive and the item selection sucks and OpenBazaar has just launched and needs time to fine-tune its system to offer better user experience. I think we as Bitcoin customers should have preferential pricing on goods at online retailers accepting Bitcoin as a payment option and not getting overcharged for things that can be found cheaper on fiat-only retailers.

[Kprawn]

Well eBay is a centralized system, so we definitely do not need another centralized service.... the alternative should be a decentralized service like

OpenBazaar, but I think it will a lot of time, before that will happen. OpenBazaar is still too complex for the average user. It is also only "online" and

available to others, when the store is running. This concept is still relatively new... and people will need some time to adapt their thinking to this new

concept.

Well I think we really need ebay like sites (including ebay itself), to make BTCitcoin their number 1 option, before we could see it get promoted and have any significant results. Local one's are good as well but the impact wouldn't be that much. The downside to those are, if they continue with PayPal as their other payment option, then the impact would be minimal since most might still use it and never try to go with other payments. Promoting BTCitcoin is something, but making people to actually use it, it's something else.

Yes, we need a powerful and rich platform like ebay for the bitcoin to make it a successful e-currency , where everyone is attracted with some good features like discount etc.

I suggest we all bitcointalk members start campaigning for Bitcoin and send email in numbers to various sites like ebay,Amazon etc to press them for accepting bitcoin

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3861.0
how about 1 user, 1 email support, perhaps you might make a thread to track and manage the campaign, just suggesting

[mindrust]

This is actually a very brillant idea.

But do not expect anything from Ebay fa*s. They already got paypal and enjoying to drain peoples blood.

...and Amazon wouldn't be so successful.

What we need is, another Ebay that accepts bitcoins as payment. But starting another ebay from nothing seems like an impossible task...

PayPal is a business, like any other business, the bodega on the corner. No one is forcing you to use it. Use CC, use BTC, use IOU notes.
Some find PP's services worth the price, others don't. But raging about PayPal "drain[ing] peoples blood"? That's just weird.

Oh, Bitcoin has its own eBay now. It's called OpenBazaar. Enjoy.

i guess an extra promotion from ebay will help bitcoin become more popularize and attract more users and investors.

[The Prince Of Egifts]

No we don't need eBay were good on our own.

Having an ebay like platform to sell products online would be great but it would be great as well if they can come up with a good consumer protection like Paypal. We all know that there's a lot of scammers out there taking advantage of Bitcoin not to be charged back for consumer protection and I think that's one reason why Bitcoin is not being embraced by a lot of merchants yet.

[DeDordtenaar]

of course it is a very good promotion for bitcoin ? This like symbiotic mutualism bitcoin be increasingly recognized by many people.
and ebay will get more users who also use bitcoin

that's not going to give an affect because they already know about bitcoin, it's just about the time and how bitcoin growth, i'm sure they're monitoring bitcoin all the time and still looking for it for future payment processor

[DimensionZ]

I think PayPal separated from Ebay and is now a single company as it was becoming harder to keep both businesses profitable running side by side. Having a Bitcoin Ebay alternative could boost the usage of Bitcoin among the online shoppers that's true. But I am not sure what kind of revenue such a Bitcoin business would generate.

[lister storm]

No we don't need eBay were good on our own.

why not? i think that it would be really good if a huge website started promoting bitcoin as it would attract a lot of new users to it that would be willing to put money into it

its nice to see that companies one by one start accepting it from time to time just like steam started doing that, i think it is definitely a wise choice and it will allow us to make money in the future
