I think there is currently no auction website accepting with bitcoin, all on average with paypal, maybe in the future it can accept bitcoin as a natural payment like on ebay.

Ebay is pre-dominantly an e-commerce website with an added advantage of auctioning! The below article provides a list of 13 major retailers who accepts bitcoin for their products and services.

Also, Shopify (already mentioned in the list above) is a great new exciting name to enter this crypto space. All website owners in Shopify platform can now add bitcoin as one of their payment methods which has the potential to take bitcoin adoption to the next level. Because around 50k active stores are running under Shopify platform with around 40 billion USD worth of sales volume yearly.

Hope this helps!

I don't think Ebay or any auction site wants to put bitcoin in there, because people can buy it on exchanges or buy it through Paypal
Bitcoins are also now sold on exchanges, so it has no reason to list them on Ebay

Might want to check out OpenBazaar.

Not exactly like eBay, but it allows buyers and sellers to get matched and trade using bitcoin.

There are now plenty of websites that accept bitcoin and most of them also support different currency. I'm sure that most of the website right now add some crypto payment because they see how people adopt this kind of online money. I know most of people right now prefer to use bitcoin to pay some payment in online.

There are some few popular sites that I have come across anyway, but they are not as popular as all these eBay and amazon, the recent one that I heard is shopify, as they have already Incorporated bitcoin payment into their own platform already and people can now make payment with it, but shopify still cannot function like all these world popular ecommerce sites.

The smaller ones are already getting there, and I believe that the large once will also be encouraged one day to use bitcoin payment processor if they will not end up creating their own coin because that is what many of them are good at now, just like the way amazon is already planning to have its own coin and I don’t know why they didn’t develop on the already existing bitcoin instead of creating a new one.

LOL. Bitcoin is money. It is not to be sold but it is to be bought with. Maybe nowdays  peopel will realy think that Bitcoin is an item to buy and hold.

Lots of sites like ebay that accept payments with bitcoin it's just that these sites are not well known because there are still many people who do not have an interest in crypto. Maybe you can use https://purse.io/shop to shop for all items on Amazon.

And recently I found a site that is quite interesting to my attention, this site is almost same as eBay and Amazon. This site is also quite famous, you can download it in appstore and playstore, please check here https://www.bitplazashopping.com/.

Ebay will certainly not consider Bitcoin a good subject to auctions. because Bitcoin is still circulating in many exchanges and even bitcoin mining is easier than ever. That's why Ebay doesn't come to Bitcoin.

[santiagomaicon]

If you want p2p market it easier to change crypto on p2p exchnage and after use it on ebay

[RealMalatesta]

There was a decentralized one that was used by the people for a while (something bazaar if I am not wrong) but it didn't get the attention it deserves. Now for places like that you need to have a lot of items on sale and start it, I know it sounds horrible to do it yourself but if you just make people sell their stuff and hope someone comes in and buys it than you are leaving both sides of the story to users which means you need a lot more users.

However, if you go around garage sales and find thousands of little things and start selling them under fake names so that it looks like there are a ton of sellers than some people will come in and buy it, sell them for cheap as well (barely any profits or no profits at all, hell even losses sometimes) after that eventually sellers will realize it and start selling their stuff as well.

Do you have an exact product that you want to purchase with bitcoin?

How about purse.io? read on how it works.

@cosmofly  . lol no , the guy means that if there is a site that accepts bitcoin as a form of payment method . he didnt mean that bitcoin are the one that wil be put for auction because like you said , there are already exchange sites and other sources that we have to obtain btc . it doesnt make sense to bid for btc unless its a physical rare item version of btc  .

@Febo.  bitcoin is money but its an asset at the same time . why do you think there are traders and they are trading btc and other cryptos  ? if cryptos are not to be sold with  .

I haven't come across any such sites yet, though sounds like a very good idea. There is probably a site out there but is lacking from exposure. You can still use crypto currency indirectly on ebay. Buy a gift card using bitcoin or any altcoin, then just redeem it on ebay. You can get your ebay gift card from bitrefill.

[TheCoinGrabber]

I haven't heard of any auction sites that accept bitcoins or any other crypto. I think it might be a bit more complicated to run a bidding using a currency with high fluctuation.

You might need to find a different way to convert you bitcoins into something that eBay would accept.

[AppliedOptimal]

Here is a good list of auction sites, the first few were mentioned in the comments here:

• http://www.Particl.io
• http://www.Bitify.com
• http://openbazaar.org
• http://www.tripleclicks.com is an auction site
• http://purse.io to shop on eBay/Amazon
• A lot of dark web sites accept bitcoin, but they sell accounts and such. Cryptopia had a marketplace, but then we all know how it ended up.
• https://www.itcoinbay.com/ is yet another site, but it has a good name, give it a try. It perfectly fits your question.
• Reddit has a subreddit called https://www.reddit.com/r/BitMarket/ If you are shopping here, you must use an escrow though, you can never be sure who is who.
• http://www.ubid.com/ is another auction site

I think this is an exhaustive list, but more competitors would be great for the market.

Volatility isn't that much of an issue if the bids are based on BTC rather than USD. I have seen enough examples of how these BTC based auctions have worked quite nicely on this forum. I have ran such auctions too in the past, and didn't bother too much about the price because it's due to go up in the very long term.

In the end, it's the responsibility of the person starting the auction to factor in the aspect of volatility. You know that the price can either go up or down once people start bidding in BTC, so if that's not an issue, then I don't see why it would be more complicated. Also, most people participating in these auctions want satoshis more than USD.

You can also just nominate auction start and bid in USD and then have the transaction settled in BTC afterwards. Plenty enough options.

CoinMall fits the bill: https://www.coinmall.com/

We're an eBay-like marketplace, but exclusively focused on virtual products (like eBooks, gift cards, game keys etc) and also offer Escrow on crypto purchases so buyers remain safe during trades.

Happy to answer any questions you may have!

[gentlemand]

I would simply buy an Ebay.com gift card from Gyft, that's assuming you're a .com user. It may not be available to those outside the US either.

Nowhere can compete with Ebay via conventional payment routes, let alone BTC. They'll all have pitiful choice and countless dead listings.
