Bitcoin on the Ebay

[RobinHoodster]

if ebay starts accepting bitcoin it would be a great mile stone by Btc

Some sellers of Ebay already starting to accept Bitcoin and that is the problem not everyone knows that so we have to change that and also promote it more so more people will get to know about it.
The only thing that we cant control is the value and that is just time to wait for a better value soon.

Hi. I sale a Book on the Ebay and accept Bitcoin.

If you interests - http://cgi.ebay.de/Thomas-Huber-Ogre-Gipfel-Traume-/170608236377?pt=Sach_Fachb%C3%BCcher&hash=item27b90b1759

I also have contact the Support from Ebay and asked for the official acceptance of the Bitcoins and I'm wait for a reply from the support.

Don't think they will accept the bit coin because they cant give you any warranty on the product. They prefer
to pay with pay pal or other online bank paying methods.

Someone recently pointed me to an app called Gyft. They sell giftcards and accept bitcoin. Ebay being one of the cards they sell.

Buy the giftcard with btc then use that for ebay. You just used btc to pay for ebay....sort of.

I don't think you can trade here without paypal

This is actually an ol' way to get away from them not allowing this.
But you still run a risk. Be warn!

yeah ebay still reluctant to use the services of bitcoin maybe they would trouble to do a refund, or if something happens like a fraud. of course you can not do refund if using bitcoin to payment method
maybe it's a difficult to consider

[Druze]

you wont be able to use bitcoin on ebay because it is not a reversible currency

I dont think ebay will accept bitcoin as payment is because the price of bitcoin is unstable unlike paypal and other e-curriencies they are afraid to lose money if the bitcoin price go drop if they accept bitcoin as payment maybe it is the main reason why after many years uptil now bitcoin is not accepted on ebay, and lets see what may happen. In future.

I agree e-bay definitely won't accept bitcoin as payment to their goods. But still we are hoping that they will accept soon and see the fast growth of bitcoin industry today so that we can easily shop from them.

Bitcoin on ebay is also getting more used and that is quite nice for both because there will be more used so you are also making it more popular so that is nice for the future.
The only thing that have to change is indeed the value but we have just to wait and see for what will happen.

i didn't know ebay is using the payment method for Bitcoins.
is it that they could get profit out of it or is it people pay with coins and the other gets gold.
that would be smart ebay.

If enough people ask eBay about BitCoin for escrow (to avoid scamming), would they consider it? Or is that just stupid of me to think?

no why would it be stupid i think they would consider about it why would they not?
every new thing has his positive and negative site of it you can always try.

If people will ask ebay about that. It would take time for a transaction to be done.

And that's a bad thing for an online shopping because they're goal is to have a convenient and fast transaction.

In many on-line shopping I have done it's been hours before they confirmed my card payment, I don't think Bitcoin confirmation time is the reason.
PayPal is quick only for confirmed accounts - it takes time to be confirmed, and new sellers waits days before they can use money received.

eBay and PayPal are one company (regardless official splitting on paper).
+ eBay charges very fat fee on every transaction
+ PayPal charges fee on every transaction
= they do not like you to pay directly (even you sell something explicitly "cash on pick up only" you still have to add PayPal as payment choice)

eBay/PayPal provides "Buyer Protection"
+ it is very favourable to buyer as he can make claim with little proof to have money back.
+ it is backed by force on taking monies back from seller even he declines buyer claim because t&c accepted by seller gives them power to take over his bank acc./credit card
= nature of Bitcoin (and any crypto) will not allow above scheme (or scam as many see)

Therefore I'm sure they not looking forward to implement Bitcoin any time soon.

It's a milestone in the growth of bitcoin. When adoption touches a certain limit, big corporate and trading companies surely take part in the bitcoin usage. Right now I believe only few sellers of eBay accepts bitcoin for their products.

[italianobitcoin]

The bitcoin is getting much more popular on the internet not only on the internet also on TV commercials
i saw it on the news yesterday. Ebay is making big steps and will not be the only one who use bitcoins these days.

As you can see indeed you see that Bitcoin is getting also more popular on Ebay and that is nice for the future because some people are using Bitcoin as their payment method so they can buy things now on Ebay.
And it is nice that you can make a lot of money with with Bitcoin on Ebay if you are selling and you also make it more acceptable so that is perfect.

[Erzatium]

For sure this is the best publicity the coin ever had in the past 10 years. Ebay is such a big company
nice that they accept the bitcoin now that will be nice for the future.

Nobody said that actually eBay itself accepts Bitcoin.

There are people who use the platform of ebay to sell their products are accepting bitcoin in terms of payment. It will be a good news if ebay will start to accept bitcoins soon and many people will go into bitcoins if that happens.
