Most people simply aren't informed about such issues. With both sides in the US condemning these things and the media happily lapping it up and regurgitating it to the average person it is a wonder they actually have the support of even a few people.

I think that it is a bit problematic for ebay to allow payments in bitcoin because it will reduce the usege in paypal and paypal will not let it happen

I haven't been on eBay in over a decade so things might have changed but how would letting the sellers accept bitcoin be any different from letting them accept MC/Visa as far as PayPal is concerned?

i guess they could make you use bitcoin via paypal, and eat the same fees.. why not right? you'd still be using paypal to make your payments, just like you would if you were using your debit/credit cards.

Good. Hopefully, it's not a shitty system like PayPal and E-Bay currently has.

The earthquake already happened... we are just sitting and waiting for the tsunami.

That is a pretty bold statement for the CEO to say. He didn't say oh yeah bitcoin is interesting we have our eye on it maybe. He said Paypal will have to add digital currencies to our wallet.

[cryptworld]

i dont think he has finally surrended
important and clever people have seen the importance of bitcoin since the beggining.
the point is that it is an early technology and they have to think very good how to implement in their enterprises because it may have some repercusions

shitty for us = lucrative for them.. so i wouldn't hold my breath.

after some months of negative media attention and lack of education from many people,  it appears that largest companies in the tech and financial word are starting to have a positive outlook on bitcoin.

[AlPutino]

These are great news!!! And it doesnt annoy me if they use Paypal of whatever else... Its definately a step forward, so we should embrace it. They wil be improving im sure.

[chaosPT]

Lets hope ebay will accept bitcoin as a payment

They wont leave paypal behind since Bitcoin can be use on digital item and paypal for the deliver item .

I would not be surprised if paypal bought coinbase.

Gox will sooner reopen their doors and make good on all accounts before eBay ever accepts Bitcoin.

The most likely scenario will be Paypal cashing out Bitcoin al la Coinbase style and converting it into USD for Paypal usage.

Gox are already gone isn't ?

Well... this is the latest tweet from Mark Karpeles:

plus ou moins, les choses se calment et on travaille sur le renouveau du service d'hébergement

Who knows? He is still dreaming about another revival.

Looks like Paypal still have a choke hold over Ebay.
We all know that Paypal is own by the 13 inbred European Bloodlines of the Terrorist organization Illuminati.
That's why you hear Paypal's puppet CEO John Donohoe said that Bitcoin will be integrated into Paypal but not stand alone as an additional form of payment on Ebay.

Someone is off their meds again.

Most likely you will be able to fund paypal with Bitcoins and they can rape you going in and when you come out in fees.

[joshp1]

I've heard about this to but what paypal will probably do is make up their own prices so 1bitcoin will b worth like 1 dollar or something like that ripping people off

I would not be surprised if paypal bought coinbase.

That is, if the owners of Coinbase really want to sell their company to Paypal. Even if that happens, I don't think that the majority of the Coinbase clients will be happy with the outcome. They will shift to some other processor such as Bitpay.
