eBay and Amazon will more than likely won't accept Bitcoin , at least not anytime soon. Not only they need a lot of users who request Bitcoin but they also need the ability to manage chargebacks etc... (they can do that with PayPal however It's impossible with Bitcoin).

If you want to buy anything from Amazon , simply buy a gift card from Gyft or any other providers or use Purse.io

Steam accepted bitcoin and are dealing with it just fine. They don't have compel to the same refund policy as Amazon and eBay?

Seriously bitcoin has not build in charge back feature - but you have to do it manually. In case of refund they could just send BTC back to the same addresses which was used to made payment.

Even if its sounds like great idea, amazon will not accept bitcoins as currency in near future.
I didn't find any news about their future plans, and are they interested in blockchain technology at all. But if something like this ever happen it will be great boost for bitcoin community. Amazon is big business, bitcoin need to grow more to be ready for such big service like Amazon is.

Currently there is no news that Amazon will start incorporating Bitcoins.  Amazon may fear the double spending  and delay of confirmation of bitcoins and may not add in near future until bitcoin became more popular among masses.

It would be great for Bitcoin do be a payment at amazon because amazon is so huge that it would boost the popularity of Bitcoin.
Maybe that it is going to happen in the future it still is a rumor at the moment.

you can use ebay than amazon to buying and selling product and you can use shopawl to integrated with bitcoin because i read on their thread that they have finished to work and integrate with ebay so it could be easy to buying and selling product on ebay. the best of ebay is that site have an auction of some product so we can get it with cheap price

First thing Amazon is service provider and Bitcoin is digital virtual currency.

Bitcoin is far big than amazon. As Amazon have to consider and implement all necessary thing to accept bitcoins. Even on large scale many of service have adopted bitcoins as a payment provider.

So till amazon adopt it we have to wait. And there will be no risk when amazon officially announce bitcoin as a payment partner.

What if we contact Amazon to add bitcoin as one of their payment so that they will decide that many buyers will buy in their online shop. If they accept bitcoin i think many online shop will do the same.
I think there are risk in buying and selling on amazon with bitcoin. Because if theres no risk, why they didnt accept it. I think amazon have reason why they didnt accept it. Like They cant get big profit here, or this bitcoin is use in blackmarket so if they accept it, theyre market is blackmarket too.

The risk is flactuation men they can more money by sudden downfall of bitcoins price, and i think amazon is considering bitcoin and keep looking more market data if its really reliable ones to be there payment processor, so at this moment all we need to do is wait, maybe we can see more good news to be happen in this coming future, and maybe we can see great news coming on bitcoin history and that could be a great breakthrough on bitcoins existence.

* Because adding bitcoin as a form of payment is, in their point of view, a huge risk due to volatility as well as the inability to make charge-backs. More importantly, I think it's also because no government has yet to acknowledge bitcoin, they're even having trouble on how to categorize it, so why would Amazon risk it especially since the demand is most likely negligible.

* The risk, at least for now, is mostly on the part of Amazon if they officially accept bitcoin they risk getting censured by government/users/other, add to that the volatility/instability of bitcoin's value, leads to them thinking it's just not worth it. At least for now. Let's hope it changes soon though as it'll be huge boost for bitcoin if mass-adoption or even awareness happens.

The important reason for that because the price of bitcoin is volatility and caused it, the amazon is not interesting to accept bitcoin, they will feeling difficult to control their price in bitcoin form.

I think so. amazon just can't control the price of their products if they accept bitcoin as payment. you know, because bitcoin price is not stable. and of course it will risk their business. just opinion.

I don't they are really going to accept bitcoins because they are thinking that if there is no stable price of bitcoins then they are just going to accept bitcoins by means of third party sites by gift cards. And even though that they are going to do that way still they are considering that we can buy things to them with bitcoin.

That's no means they accept bitcoin by 3rd parties, because buying in amazon from their gift card using bitcoin is caused the bitcoiners is finding the method, and I don't think amazon is giving any explanation about that. and the amazon is accepting bitcoin by their gift card just applying in the bitcoiners mind.

Thats what i am thinking to the price flactuation is the great barricade for them to accept bitcoin on their business circulation so i really doubt that acceptance of amazon to bitcoin is not on these days, maybe they will do some deeper analysis unto this, but maybe in the future they will accept bitcoin in their ecosystem since on these upcoming years im pretty sure the numbers of bitcoin user will going to spread further globally.

Yup that's not fully amazon gives recognition of bitcoin completely. So that this does not mean we can use the bitcoin with good ways, though amazon does not accept bitcoin transactions are done in their site. I'm sure in the future will certainly be there are websites that are specific to the bitcoiners using bitcoin to buy some necessities are indeed needed

Some friends wrote in this topic" Amazon cant except because of prise is not stable" i dont egree this idea, if amazon wants to except bitcoin they can find a way for if , for example  they can give limited shopping chances their customers and Amazon can  have prestige with this  idea .

I dont believe amazon is smaller then bitcoin, as most and several people do use amazon to sell and buy several stuffs, soo that for me is wrong. Bitcoin will be present when they feel they can do it and will bring or keep their costumers happy, as the fees they charge should be the same, with the option to pay with bitcoin and just.

In my opinion Amazon not add bitcoin as payment opinion because the bitcoin is still new ( bitcoin can be disappear and there is value into it) and bitcoin's price has high fluctuation, it is high risk for Amazon. But if you want shopping on Amazon using bitcoin. You can try purse.io and you can get discounts too.

I do not think that there are any risk, Bitcoin can become really big if it is able to close out a deal with amazon in the future.
Allot of people who did not know Bitcoin will be introduced to it because of amazon.

Yeah I agree it would boost the popularity of Bitcoin by so much because there are so many people that make use of amazon.
Of those people would go out and use Bitcoin then it would become so much bigger.

actually the volatility of bitcoin is the main risk,this characteristic could make they receiving less amount than what it should be but it can be resolved by using bitcoin payment gateway API that's provided by bitpay or coinbase,though seems they're just hard to make a deal with some bitcoin company
