very good news indeed, at least cuts out the gray area for listing on Ebay.  Odd that they are calling it a "classified ads" section though.  Just hope they only allow BTC and LTC as stated so far.......

another article on the same subject.

This service will be limited to UK only and there won’t be any possibility to buy physical goods on the website.

So they are going to become a cryptocurrency exchange?  But you can't buy things for bitcoin???

I'll stick to Vircurex or Cryptsy for trading alternate cryptocurrencies.

If ebay starts paying more interest than Vircurex, then perhaps I'd consider switching.

I wonder if deposits will be secured in any way.

Coinbase for selling BTCs
Fold for spending BTCs
PM me with any questions on these sites/apps!  http://www.montybitcoin.com


or Vircurex for trading alt cryptocurrencies like DOGEs
CoinNinja for exploring the blockchain.

"Bitcoin suffers from the dark-side image and a partner like PayPal is likely to enhance the public confidence in the crypto currencies"   Huh

Weird. I won't complain about another exchange going up, although I doubt they have the expertise to run a bitcoin exchange right.

They need to sort the Paypal problem out first, because until they stop scammers from abusing their system this is still pointless.

Coindesk is a very reliable source... but then why the exchange rate is coming down? If the news was not a hoax, then BTC would have hit $3K by now.

I was surprised about it as I thought it would be huge news, but maybe it'll gain some traction when it goes live.

Ebay accepting Bitcoin would be massive news, but just officially allowing it isn't that huge. You can already buy and sell coins on there anyway.

It'll probably be 10%, but we'll soon find out on the 10th: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57617502-93/ebay-to-allow-bitcoin-sales-in-virtual-currency-category/

Too bad public will fall for the craps and praise PayPal and Ebay even more. Funny how they will in the end manage to profit
the most from cryptocoins. If it's up to me, those bastards and any others would be blacklisted. Right there in source code.

All you sold faggots cheering news like this one make me sick.

theres nothing here. message me if you want to put something here.

I have heard for months that Ebay wanted to accept. Is it ever going to actually happen?

E-Bay, Pay Pal, Amazon, and so on will be forced to take part either in the short or long term.  Google is building their own form of a wallet for Bitcoin and once they hit the market with their new toy, everyone else is going to be forced to act or risk being left behind.  I believe the question is not fixed on; if they will take it, the question is when will they take it.

Either play the game or risk being left behind and trying your best to play catchup.

Are they definitely doing this or is this just hearsay? Any sources?
