I guess they consider other buyers that not all are bitcoin
users. Though, we know china controls bitcoin but not all
people adapts it to use. In ebay, i think they dont have
bitcoin payment as they consider for general buyers.

Or maybe eBay does not even know that we all could use Bitcoin as a payment. It would be wonderful to use it. Rather every time exchange and pay. Bitcoin is safer and easier, though paypal also has its benefits, I am waiting for eBay to adopt to Bitcoin soon

Ebay wont accept bitcoin because they would nor be able to enforce there refund policies with an  irreversible currency.
They can not accept bitcoin because ebay owns paypal. And we all know what paypal thinks about bitcoin

So this marriage in heaven will never ever happen. Paypal wants to keep ebay too them selves and will never want to give up that way of making their customer's pay for these items from them.

Ebay and paypal have split into two different companies. Sooner or later eBay shall accept Bitcoin cause it will be the most dominant force in the Industry. The only question is when. I feel when literally every one is on it, eBay shall have no problem accepting it.

The problem of Ebay isnt not accepting bitcoin but their high fees, if they accept bitcoin and keep with their high fees it wont change anything, besides the fact to bitcoin start to become more famous. This is something they must take care, since bitcoins are connected to low fees, ebay should reduce their fees if they would work with bitcoin, otherwise we would see the complaints raising a lot.

Ya eBay and lowering their fees it will take a valiant effort to do that, not really sure they will be willing to do it. Unless every one decides to unite and tell them to do it. That's again not Easy for everyone to be United and do it. It can only happen if everyone speaks in one voice, though the clamor for Bitcoin is rising, it's not risen that enough to force them. Let's see what happens in near future.

EBay makes money on those fees, and it's part of the reason why they are able to maintain their website and services in the same way that they do right now. As much as everyone would love to have those fees lower, the company still has to be a money-maker for the shareholders, and if they can't do that, everyone loses out on the service.

It sucks how that works, but that's just how it is. It can't be fixed easily.
