Announced at consensus and a tweet by wolf below could confirm they will start accepting cryptocurrencies for payments in the near future.
https://twitter.com/ImNotTheWolf/status/1127696721230934019

source https://micky.com.au/consensus-pics-speculation-ebay-will-soon-accept-crypto

So if they start accepting payments by cryptocurrency then they will start allowing of selling it on their site as well and having paypal as their partner what does this mean in regards to their terms of service of not being able to make payments for crypto using paypal. Although people still do it regardless but just can not claim they do if there are issues with their purchase. Or paypal will void your claim and point this rule in their policies when it comes to the purchasing of cryptocurrency using their service.

It sure looks like it. Then again, those are billboard-style ads at a cryptocurrency conference. Technically, anyone could have bought the ad space and put eBay's name up. I wouldn't be surprised if eBay denies the rumors.

Notice how they're not using the classical eBay logo, just a generic font...And they used "virtual currency" rather than "cryptocurrency"....Hmm, maybe I'm being too nitpicky  Lips sealed

I think I'll wait for a proper official announcement, don't want to get all excited now only to see eBay denying the rumours a few hours later. Btw, I find it hilarious how everyone's trying to shill their favorite altcoin in the tweet OP posted  Grin

Those ads look a bit lame to me. I think ebay would announce it if it was a thing but who knows I've been wrong before. Some also say it doesn't mean ebay is going to accept crypto but it says you can buy crypto on ebay which is also true but at the same time doesn't really fit in.

I mean why would anyone make an ad just to tell "hey you can buy crypto on ebay".

All we need to find out is if the ads were placed by ebay or not. If yes > ebay will accept crypto.

It's actually the first time that I have heard about the news.
Honestly, I'm not well-convinced with that photo. I'm sure that they would launch and announce it first.
It's still a good news and adoption for Bitcoin if ever but it is still early to conclude. A lot of things might still happen in the future.

PayPal work separately from Ebay for already a long time, which IMHO makes the whole story more realistic because in that case ebay would be able to provide their own policy regarding crypto payments.
But anyway even if they accept crypto payments then it would rather be something like BitPay where you would be able to fund your fiat account with crypto without any massive bitcoin movement.

eBay would be a welcome addition of a list of marketplace accepting cryptocurrency. Certainly, this can be a big boost most especially to Bitcoin though it remains to be seen if there can be a good volume of business that cryptocurrency can command. Now, we are also hoping that after eBay it would be Amazon which can take notice and be enticed to join the Bitcoin club. As they say, the more the merrier and in the quest for massive cryptocurrency adoption, this bit of news is offering hope and possibility for that vision.

They have to be accepting new cryptocurrencies on their platform. If eBay is a virtual auction platform which lets you list anything and everything you want then I am sure that they will accept any type of cryptoasset as well.

This is great news that can introduce cryptocurrency to the masses. The current growth is not casual.

I think this year many will introduce cryptocurrency.

After a second look, it's an obvious fake.

Here's eBay's real logo:


And here's the logo from the ads:


These cryptocurrency conferences are mostly just attention grabs and marketing gimmicks, so it doesn't surprise me that people engage in this sort of manipulation.

We can't say that it's real unless we'll hear their announcement. It's an exciting thing if it's true but I don't think they would post such photo to spread rumours. News could be deceiving sometimes so we have to be observant and keen before we believe.

Looking in this side and there’s no formal information about this one and eBay doesn’t make any statement about this rumor. You know if this thing happen then expect a more expensive bitcoin its a big company with a great technology, cryptocurrency is a good addition to them.

They have denied involvement getting into having any cryptocurrency as payment for goods on their site.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/ebay-denies-rumors-it-will-start-accepting-crypto-despite-advertising-at-crypto-event

As for the signage. I have seen this plain logo before without the different colors but they could be false advertisement just like those at the crypto conference where they debuted.

This is really interesting. I hope that an official statement coming from eBay will be published soon to confirm or to dispel this rumor. Anyway, if this is just a rumor we can not expect people from eBay to have the time to react to this. So the bottomline here is we just have to wait for anything official. Now, if this is just another fake marketing tactic then it got the attention that it wanted in the first place so congratulations to these marketers.

That ebay logo is odd but if it was a hoax they would announce it way before now. I can't agree is it real or fake. If it is real that would be great news for cryptoworld.

First, this news came out, i thought utrust will get used (they also said big announcement coming, and this is what basically do) but they announced something else.

It's safe to say that the people behind the Consensus event used a generic logo to avoid legal actions against them from eBay.

This sets a pretty bad precedent on the event, and maybe even on other crypto events, as some people will now doubt the authenticity of any news/announcements coming from them, people will now think they're nothing but fake news. I don't remember the last time a cryptocurrency event used the name of a big company to try to manipulate the market...Shitty move from Consensus.

That anyone probably has a motive then, it could be to kickup the investors to but cryptocurrencies in the market. It would be good to heard some news from ebay, their dying marketplace could once again be busy if its true. Adoption should really start with the known marketplace in the world, either ebay or amazon and facebook as it would be easy for almost all of us already have accounts.

We don't know the truth, and we could only wait for the update from eBay.
If they really accept cryptocurrency on their site, then it will bring a new spirit for cryptocurrency because we know that eBay is one of the largest markets which have big members who join in that site.
Besides that, if eBay can accept cryptocurrency, the other big market will try to follow what eBay did, and that will help the process of adoption will happen more widely.
