EBAY might accept BITCOIN

[wozzek23]

               Tired of eBay saying such things over and over without actually acting on it. They've been like this since forever. I really don't know what's good ng on with the heads of its developers but I think they only do it whenever bitcoin does well. As to reasons why, maybe because they want the publicity. Even more so nowadays that bitcoin is the talk of the majority. But hey, who knows though. Maybe this time they'd really do it considering the huge increase of the people jumping into crypto currencies. I won't get my hopes up that much about this tho, not anymore.

The reason is that, there are news places that keep on promoting this as a flash news on crypto related parts of their newspaper.
In fact, we have known this for a long time and it is true that they are working on it as well. They want to make sure that they have a good base before they release something like that.

But it is just an option, you can deposit, withdraw, buy, sell with crypto and that requires time if you are not going to use some third party app. This resulted with each and every step they take, every time they are getting closer and finishing another task or a milestone, that becomes a news and people write about it and share that with public.

Isn't a simple process for them to do it, they have to figure out the legislation and the taxes for all the users who decide to pay with cryptos.

Looks like tomorrow will be the day that we were waiting for.

CEO Jamie Iannone told TheStreet that while eBay is not accepting crypto currently, on March 10, “we’re going to go deeper on all of these things, payments, advertising, our focus categories.”

And it's important to mention that eBay already Debuts an NTF Service, so, they are getting closer to the cryptos.

Hey guys theres a news article stating that ebay might be accepting Bitcoin and other cryptos, if this happens then I believe itll be a game changer for the crypto world. Not sure how credible the article is , has anyone else heard anything similar. Also there was mention of an announcement on march 10 to confirm this. If positive,  We could see a new high even in these times uncertainty .

There seemed to be a whole lot of certainty around the March 10th announcement date for a rumor.  It will be interesting to see if anything comes of it, or if it was just made up by someone and spread like wildfire.  I guess we'll find out in 24 hours.  With PayPal getting into Bitcoin though, it seems logical that eBay would follow suit in order to try and stay up to date with the latest payments technology. 

Whether eBay implements Bitcoin is less interesting to me than how they would implement it.  Are they going to make you deposit your BTC and then use their wallet?  Are they going to allow disputes and chargebacks?  Will the BTC be credited as USD when you deposit it, or will it sit in your wallet as BTC?  Will you be able to trade to earn income from price volatility or is it just a platform to transfer BTC to other users.  All of these questions will effect whether eBay is good for crypto, or just larping.

Ebay has made several advances in terms of having a variety of acceptable ways to pay ever since they parted ways with Paypal and if bitcoin will help it grow its user base and grow the company....then I don't see a reason why they wouldn't consider adding bitcoin to their existing payment methods but this been a one way street with no chargebacks available this could be an option for established sellers or maybe these funds will have to go into an escrow for a longer period to keep their buyer/seller protection going...

It's the same with PayPal before that it's just a "might" but eventually they have adopted it. Although it's a different thing with PayPal and its adoption still, they've included bitcoin on their platform. It's going to be the same with ebay and other companies that "might" adopt bitcoin in the future. We'll just notice in the upcoming years that they have already adopted it. It's okay to not hope for it but when the time comes that they've adopted, we'll see it.

According to the following article there will be an announcement shortly as CEO Jamie Iannone told TheStreet portal.

"We're just completing our transition to manage payments where we're now managing $85 billion of volume on our platform directly,"
"This gives us the ability to open up new forms of payment."

NFTS are already being sold on EBAY but I think they need more publicity so that users show more interest in trading on the platform. I think EBAY needs to reinvest in a new design and build a cool NFTS Marketplace to appeal to that audience. Just like other crypto platforms do.

Lets go EBAY! BTC

Yeah, this was just the same when there are rumors that Paypal "might" accept bitcoin on which lots had been saying that it wont happen but it eventually did but it did really takes time.
Just like you said on which i wouldnt really be surprised if these companies would really be making out the same step on what those companies had been done.It is just a matter of time
or been waiting for some benefits on which crypto had been adopted or added into the platform.Most of them are just observing it out if it does works well or not.

Let's just take it as is and what their stand right now. Don't take it too serious as of the moment when analysts and experts are telling Ebay "might" accept bitcoin.
Always take it with a grain of salt when there are news like this. You believe it or not but just always go along with the neutral of those news eve though they're likely positive and boosting.

[Maestro75]

It will be fantastic if EBay begins to accept bitcoin. With time Alibaba, Konga, Jiji, Jumia and other meaningful shopping outlets will embrace that payment option and that will be very big for the struggle for mass adoption for bitcoin. Already we have seen what bitcoin adoption is doing for Ukraine in this war with Russia. I want to see this take place as quickly as it can be.

If there is a smoke then surely there is a fire, remember that when PayPal starts this sounds>? people also deny that fact years ago but look what happened ?

Never forget that Big companies now are trying to adopt bitcoin so Never doubt that this will happen lol.

The reason why people can't believe that PayPal will accept bitcoin is that PayPal is already a digital payment method and people think that if they accept PayPal their main service will be beaten up. They are wrong with that, PayPal still shows that even if they already adopt btc they are still in control of their business. They achieve this by limiting the things that btc can do inside their platform.

In the case of eBay, it can be different because eBay is not like PayPal, it's a shopping company. In fact, it will be an advantage to them if they add more payment methods. Adding btc on their platform is fine and won't affect them in any way.

Yes, I've also read news about this in one of the local media, eBay CEO Jamie Iannone did say that he would try to adopt crypto as an alternative payment on their platform, but what he said is still only a discourse and there is no certainty about its implementation, but if later ebay really adds crypto as an alternative to payment transactions on platform, of course this is a positive thing and will probably greatly affect the development of crypto as a fast and easy payment alternative for a company.

Pretty good news for bitcoin price?

We are waiting for Ebay's big plan to accept bitcoin, if this happens I'm sure there will be an increase in demand and the price will skyrocket because the volume of Ebay transactions is very high and if 10% of people trade with bitcoin then there will be a big good impact for the future of bitcoin.

We will have to see about it though, yes, it's a big and welcoming news for bitcoin ecosystem, but it doesn't mean that it will automatically translate to a skyrocket price. The timing should be perfect before it will put a dent in the price. Because if the accept it in bear market, then I'm seeing the effect will be minimal. Just like what Paypal did, they took the time and wait it out till we are in a bull run and it works wonder as it affected the price positively.

Yes sir it is, because we know how big and popular eBay is. Ebay is mostly popular in u.s countries I believe? At our place, it wasn't eBay that is popular but they don't accept btc here. I won't think twice about switching to eBay if ever eBay is going to accept btc and as I can see there are good items for sale at a very reasonable price on this platform.

Alibaba is like eBay too, that are known but I don't know about the other two that you list but it's going to be alright if ever all of them adopt bitcoin. It allows the user of those platforms to get to know or to get involved in bitcoin. It is nice that Ukraine finally joins the adoption too, btc adoption seems unstoppable right now.

Ebay is quite sure that they will implement Btc payments on their platform because they have previously approved NFT there too.  However, digital products that have been born and have proven the strength of their ecosystem and community must be legalized immediately, this concerns the lifestyle of millennial children who in the future will become leaders and make new regulations for the convenience of many people.

eBay seems to see the opportunity to use crypto that is easy to make transactions will be one of the attractions for millennials to transact on their platform, especially now that crypto has become one of the most popular investment assets for millennials and of course eBay will take advantage of it, but it seems The ebay plan may be a bit bogged down and it will also take some time to realize it.

Don't give too much hope on it. The PayPal adoption is actually a surprising one although many have discussed that many years ago because they really are a direct competition with bitcoin.
Whilst for ebay, they have no direct competition on bitcoin and it's just going to be another payment method accepted by them if ever they're going to start adopting it.

The ebay CEO sees that bitcoin already has a large number of users and even the impact is very large compared to fiat now imo, so it's an opportunity for them to be able to make a profit. although nowadays there are many online buying/selling sites that adopt crypto payments but ebay is one of the largest online buying/selling sites in the world with a very large daily active users, this will bring adoption closer.
