Hey i try to sell BTC at Ebay and when i try to post a selling they write me that:

You can not submit your listing due to the following problemsIt appears you are listing virtual currency such as Bitcoin, Litecoin or another type of cryptocurrency. Under our Currency Policy, these items, whether digitally or physically delivered, must be listed in the Coins & Paper Money>Virtual Currency> Currency Category in the Classified Ad format only. Listings for these items outside that category are not permitted and will be removed.Thanks for your attention to this matter.

when i change the category to virtual i see that i need to pay to ebay 9.5$ at least, Something here does not make sense because if it really costs like an ad so why people would sell a small amount of coins in one ad?
someone try to sell there coins?

because your classified ad for 9.5 or whatever usd last for 30 days. You could sell .0001 btc or .100 or .40 and sell it many times. Ie: I make one listing for .50 btc and I sell many coins say 30 orders for that. I only paid 9.5 usd minus ebay fees on sold trade minus exchange fee. Ebay makes more money than regular ad considering if you just sold 1, or 0, and really doesn't know if you have sold 50 or 1 or whatever. They make more each listing than regular ad cost. Also its a deterrent to sell cryptos on there which they are not really favorable to do (no buyer protection even if you have proof, they act like they can't read as far as blockchain info or whatever).

Beware selling bitcoins in ebay. You will get ripoff in no time from chargebacks. Their listing fee is very high because the product is high risk.

Ebay comes out ahead in these deals.

They charge you a pumped up fee and they know you will eventually lose all of your money to PayPal anyway.

And they own PayPal.

Lol nice racket aint it?

Not a good a idea to sell bitcoins on ebay or anything that deals with paypal. After they received your bitcoins they simply chargeback and say they were hacked. And paypal will reversed the funds and you can not dispute it.

Ebay is a scam for sellers. 10% sale fee plus paypal fees it,s a rip off. Then you can get charged back to boot.

I would be carefull with ebay. it may seem like you can sell off your coins for 1.5x the value but in reality its going to be a lot of hassle with a chance of getting scammed or funds locked up on paypal and such.

dont take the risk with ebay and selling bitcoins there.

yeah, it is the same with paysafecards. They sell for 2x the facevalue, but 99.9% of the buyers try to scam u with stolen ebay/pp accounts.
