Ebay accepts crypto?

[monalia]

It's rumores ebay is gonna to start accepting crypto payments. Have u heard? I am glad that more e-commerce companies are starting to allow the use of cryptocurrency to pay. It can be assumed that Amazon and Ebay will develop their own cryptocurrency

I completely disagree this news. today via google news I read that Ebay rejects the crypto payment again as a title.

Why unwanted rumours has been digged up here that is what I want to say here.

If you want to use crypto at e commerce site then you need to use the purse website to access over the amazon site. You may get the little discount also using purse site.

Some of the merchants in Alibaba had been accepting crypto for years now.

Are you sure about that? I looked up Alibaba's payment methods and Bitcoin isn't listed as option, and as far as I know individual merchants don't have the ability to use other payment options.

There have been new crypto based marketplaces and these markets would surely put some pressure on Ebay to try something new.

I have seen none that actually pressure eBay in whatever form or shape. OpenBazaar looks like an eBay killer on paper, but its use hasn't been picking up, which has been like this for years now.

If something doesn't take off in its first few years of existence, chances are that it never might, especially with how there is zero marketing to attract new users. No marketing means no users, it's that simple.

But anyway is weird that message from Ebay in the Consensus 2019. There is something for sure...

I not heard about it, but i think is better if they accept crypto. Or will they only create own crypto for payments? Has anyone more info about? Because if they create own crypto maybe people who already have crypto will buy still with fiat money.

We have more than enough cryptocurrencies, so it is unnecessary for eBay to create its own. It's high time they accept bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies, but perhaps they are weighing the near-term costs and thus far don't find it worthwhile. But we all know at some point they will have no choice but to accept them, because competitors certainly will.

THis really is a good thing. Since only the average person uses EBAY. Having Bitcoin on the platform will create good recognition. and encourage people to get into it

There is so many rumour on the market. Don't read it. You can reach the official announcement from their source. They may be thinking about cryptocurrencies but there is no official announcement yet.

[jak3]

I don't think they have even trying to make it right now. all they said is they are thinking about it. It is surely possible that they are going to implement it sooner then you think but it comes with a lot of risks. it's like they do not know if it is gonna work or not. so they have to rely on luck and big companies do not do that. they believe on past analysis than some luck bullshit. They have to be sure that it is gonna be profitable to them.

Wow great to heard but nothing surprise for that because people and investors smoothly understand well the bitcoin important and convenient to use.

Something weird is definitely going on. Just few hours back confirmed news got out about facebook registers cryptocurrency company in Switzerland, you can read more about it here:

So I wouldn't be suprised if at any time soon ebay do the same.

Maybe this is what caused the sudden rise up in price when there was news of ebay soon accepting cryptocurrency as payment and the advertisements which caused some confusion during the concensus event during this same time.
Now with them denying it this might have caused the drop in price as well.
Oh crypto.

I dont believe that news like this will cause ups or downs because if the company will decide to accept a certain crypto they wont buy that crypto , people or shoppers wont also rush to buy that crypto just because they want to use it as a shopping/paying tool   . The flow of the crypto market will still be the same as what they'v used to . Investors/traders will only buy crypto according to their needs  but overall  this news was still great , its nice to see that a reputable and big company like ebay is now joining the trend  .

They are not joining the trend. If you read a couple of the posts in the thread

It seems that eBay denies it. Look at this article. It wouldn't be bad to have that but maybe soon.

They denied it outright.
As I heard about it with billboards showing up at the concensus event with this post I did right before the price shot up a couple days later https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5142644

[fiulpro]

If you go and search online it was just a hoax

" eBay isn't driving into crypto with Bitcoins included *
This is what I found word to word online

Therefore unfortunately how appealing that might sound , it's not the case .

Still it's not the case right now doesn't mean it won't be the case for the future too, therefore let's just hope it happens.

I'm just wondering if this is Ebay's decision itself about payment. Does a big companies like Ebay need legal regulations in order to accept payments with crypto?

This is going to be good. I like this rumor and eventually turn into reality having to have the official announcement for this. If the Ebay will add to those other companies that accepts crypto, that is a great thing that the crypto. Is still moving forward on its growth.

eBay has said that it will not accept cryptocurrencies at the moment, the news spread like a rumor but it has already been denied. Hopefully in the future they can really accept bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, it would be a very positive news for the adoption

[vhns222]

If they really start to do it then we are going to be unstoppable and i think this will happen sooner or later if one of gignats start do it then others will follow it believe me and its gone be reality i know we can remember last years still people were talking about BTC as a Ponzi but now noone do it.

Right. The origin of the rumors were goods and services related to crypto currency being offered on the platform. And as they said, there isn't any plans to adopt crypto currency for now neither for the future. Probably it was just more one fake news to attract traffic for news sites to generate profit from ads.
