let's just hope its before 2140 or before Mr. Nakamoto decides to take BTC offline  How can Satoshi Nakamoto take Bitcoins offline? It is not even clear that he is alive right now. Bitcoin is like the Frankenstein's monster. It has grown so big, that even its creator can't control it anymore.  |

I do not think ebay would accept bitcoin. Niether Dell,Amazon or any other marketing liars that tell they accept bitcoin but trough the "Bitcoin Central Bank" caled BitPay. In fact when you say you accept bitcoin, that's mean you accept bitcoin in your personal wallet not dollars from BitPay. In my country is an restaurant that accept bitcoin. So you go, eat,drink,feel good and when you ask to pay in bitcoin the guy comes with an tablet with an wallet installed and you pay direct to the restaurant wallet...not bitpay or any other "wanna control all bitcoin over the world" company. So until Dell,Dish,Amazon or anyone provide us their own bitcoin adress to pay for goods, they do not accept bitcoin.They accept dollars from bitpay. This is the marketing tool of BitPay.
Guys wake up and keep Bitcoin descentralized.

Now we need to get Amazon. Resistance is futile. Amazon will HAVE to accept BTC eventually ... that's something I feel is inevitable! let's just hope its before 2140 or before Mr. Nakamoto decides to take BTC offline More merchants accepting BTC actually put a downward pressure on price as every sales they make will need to be exchange for fiat on the exchange. |

Well that is some good news, when some of the biggest industry names get onboard it will be a lot easier to spread to the rest and that will make Bitcoin future a lot more sure.

Okay first of all satochi is not able to bitcoin "offline" as that is simply not how it works. Secondly Amazon, nor any other merchant will not ever have to accept bitcoin. It will generally be beneficial for them to do so to remain competitive and to reduce costs but they will never be forced. |

This is my problem with companies that say they accept bitcoin through bitpay, and my issue with bitpay in general. Bitpay is going to have a million bitcoins at this rate. Companies only accept bitcoin but still change it into and only really use fiat. I'm sure bitpay has a fee too so the small businesses get screwed just like they used a credit card which charges a fee. |

Mr. Nakamoto decides to take BTC offline Unless Mr. Nakamoto is some sort of god, that is not going to be possible for him. Since I don't believe in magic and I find all forms of superstition uncompelling, it seems rather unlikely. |

Ebay should just allow their customers to pay using Bitcoin separately from Paypal.
This way, Paypal is not controlling Ebay's payment system. Unless Ebay is own by Paypal 100% then that's a whole different story.
IMO, bitcoin with ebay would be better through paypal because then the buyers are protected by Paypal. If ebay alone integrates btc, the buyers will have to rely too heavily on the seller's feedback. I think if ebay alone integrates btc, i think there may be a lot of scammers trying to take advantage since all you are on ebay is basically a screen name. |

For them to protect you, they would need personal information?
Will I have to reveal my bitcoin identity?

I believe that sellers have the opportunity to accept whatever payment methods they choose. If they can find a buyer who is willing to do this, they could sell their product for cash in the mail if they wanted to. I really don't see anything that would prevent people from paying with bitcoin now when they win an auction. |

I believe that sellers have the opportunity to accept whatever payment methods they choose. If they can find a buyer who is willing to do this, they could sell their product for cash in the mail if they wanted to. I really don't see anything that would prevent people from paying with bitcoin now when they win an auction. Mostly, the fact that putting "I accept bitcoin" in their auction would cause eBay to cancel it. This leaves no good way for a buyer who is willing to pay with bitcoin to find a seller who is wiling to accept bitcoin. Sending messages to each seller as a buyer would take a monumental amount of time when most of them probably aren't going to accept bitcoin, and hoping to get a message from a buyer offering to pay with bitcoin when most buyers aren't even aware of bitcoin wouldn't leave one with very good odds. Beyond that, I'm not sure how far eBay goes to enforce their terms, but since it's against the rules to negotiate and sell items listed on eBay to people who found them on eBay outside of eBay, I wouldn't be 100% surprised if a message sent on eBay about bitcoin could lead to an account suspension. However, people who want to buy and sell with bitcoin have other sites they can use, just without as much "protection," which the majority of users must think is free in spite of the fact that the sellers pay the fees and the buyers pay the higher prices. The level of protection offered now (mostly to buyers) didn't always exist. I've been scammed on eBay when paying through PayPal for physical goods that were never delivered. The seller withdrew funds and eBay and PayPal didn't actually offer refunds via insurance, only reversals when possible. Now, in order to get the protection everyone knows and loves, not only do the funds have to go through PayPal to ensure that PayPal and eBay get their cuts for the costs and/or risks they take providing protection, the fees have doubled and the funds also have to be escrowed for a long time for new sellers amongst other things. The same fees and escrow periods will be true of auctions that accept bitcoin. Allowing bitcoin to be sent directly to the seller would require the buyer to take all the risk, and most of the buyers on eBay don't want to do that. More importantly, though, the majority of posters in this thread and the "Amazon needs to accept bitcoin" threads believe that these big powerhouses accepting and handling bitcoin will make other people who are not users more comfortable with the idea of bitcoin, spurring adoption, so even though you could theoretically win an auction from a seller who agrees to accept bitcoin after the fact (or even before you bid), that doesn't provide the benefit that everyone else here is looking for. |
