Hi... there are some good deals on ebay and I am wondering if it's ok to buy bitcoins on ebay platform? Anyone who bought there could you please share your experience? Also what if the seller don't send the bitcoins after you paid? Will ebay help? What about their ebay purchase protection policy?
I think there is no assurance of transactions about bitcoin in ebay. If you want to buy bitcoin there are many access of bitcoin in different exchange platform. There are much more safe platform for bitcoin not to ebay. Be careful always for you to not lose your money. Buy to the trusted sellers. Correct, I wouldn't buy bitcoin in Ebay as well. Too many scammers as well in there. Go try localbitcoins or just go to a trusted exchanges to buy Ebay would be the last place to get bitcoin. but there are many good deals on ebay.com. I think paypal has buyer protection. IDK if someone who has experience with this could let us know the pros and cons of buying bitcion from ebay.com??
Yes, but with bitcoin the possibility of being scammed is high. You see a lot of members here have commented that you should even try to get bitcoin there. Risk are too high.

Ebay is really not the ebst place to buy bitcoins there, a lot of scammers there. You can send them money, but you will receive nothing back, so it is better to think twice before doing so. There are a lot of other trustworthy methods to buy bitcoins all over the internet. As you also know sometimes on ebay price is lower, than it supposed to be, because on exchanges price is higher. In this case never buy it, because it is a scam 100%

Never buy bitcoins on ebay, it is a never ending scam circus on there. If you want to get bitcoins find other ways and never use paypal or a credit card because they can get your money and run and you will receive no bitcoins. Look into some exchange or local bitcoins, there are no other ways if you want to buy with fiat. Even though I've never done it, I'd pretty much agree with that. However I agree that PayPal does offer buyer protection, and most of the risk is on the seller's side. I'd say try it if there are any good deals, but it definitely doesn't sound kosher. I didn't think eBay allowed crypto to be sold, yet I've seen tons of listings for all sorts of crypto. Good luck, I guess.

Just checked on ebay i don't see any seller and that is a good move also. Ebay customer policy is really good you can't really lose a dispute on ebay if you are buyer and selling bitcoin is the most risky thing to do as it is against ebay policy and you are basically selling for paypal and you will surely run out of coins with too much risk. If you find any it's probably a scam

Why use e-bay to buy bitcoins and there's other much better and more specialized places to do so. You can easily get scammed and not receive any bitcoins.
Just because they have good offers doesn't mean that they can be trusted. Don't let your attempts to pay less fees make you lose money.

If you buy a product on ebay the only way to protect you if you don't receive the product is paypal because they will give you your money back but for bitcoin paypal can't check if the item has been sent or not so they won't give you your money back if the sellers did not send the bitcoin because there is no proof de did not send them to you. To sum up never buy bitcoin on ebay. Too dangerous ! ! ! No need to mention what everybody already said : why to buy bitcoin on ebay ? Shit ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) So many exchanges, websites, wallets ect... where to sell/buy bitcoin so why ? XD

If you pay with PayPal on ebay then you will have buyer protecion, but no idea how PayPal will handle this if the seller had a fake account and already withdrew or spent your money.
PayPal considers Bitcoin as an illegal thing. So I don't think they'll provide buyer protection for that. When you have so many exchanges, why you wanna go for eBay.? Lots of scammers there are it became easy to scam through Bitcoin.

I have never used ebay, however, I think you should not buy bitcoin there, too hard to secure your money. Buy bitcoins on the exchange, you will be absolutely safe.

Why would you buy Bitcoin in Ebay? My goodness, there are also scammers in Ebay. How about Coinbase, a little bit secure site.

Me also sir, I will not tried to buy or sell bitcoins to ebay because there are many people are saying that if you put your money to ebay it will be more risky. So that's why I didn' tried it. In my country, ebay is not popular because the only popular is coinsph which is converting bitcoins into local currency.

ebay sounds a bit tricky to me, there are definitely better alternatives to that. Some P2P platforms are already released that make the purchase of BTC a breeze, I'd look into that if I were you

The transaction is made outside of eBay. You do not get the same protections as you would on an eBay auction or Buy it Now sale so there is no way of leaving feedback or getting your money back through the site.

Ebay of all places to buy bitcoin, I wouldn't try it. There are several exchange sites that even allow fiat deposits if that is the reason to patronise ebay. The only concern is the fee but I would rather pay high fees and get what I paid for than to loose everything to an individual and ebay would not be held responsible since that is not the reason why they are running their site and especially since the deal will be done outside their platform.

There is no guarantee that the transaction will be made when we pay for the purchase, there may be bad guys and are willing to scam us so be careful before buying btc on ebay.

Right. And i don't see any reason why you have to buy from ebay. There are a lot of exchanges where you can directly purchase btc. You'll be more in control that way than risking yourself getting into a scam

You'll be more in control that way than risking yourself getting into a scam I would never select ebay to buy bitcoin because, in there, you expose your full identitiy. In the future we can't know if bitcoin will be illegal. They can accuse you for this orders in the future, I mean. Right?

Well for me it is hard to buy in ebay because you are buying it directly to the person what if he really do not do a legit transaction and you already paid. The best thing to do is buy bitcoins to legit exchange sites for sure that is legit transaction and you wont hesitate to do trading and investing.
