That doesn't mean it directly relates to PayPal or eBay just because they posted that... When the keynote goes live we will see. |

I think "precursor" is the word you are looking for.

realistically, i think they will do a trial with braintree, and if all goes well, they'll spread it on over to paypal or ebay.

End result news we are all looking for...
"PayPal and/or eBay now accepts bitcoin payment" NOT "Braintree allows Uber customers to buy services in app with bitcoin".

Yes. It's probably a lot more underwhelming than some might have hoped for. But it's not negative news so there's not much to be mad about. |

they are all one and the same company/subsidiary
for the profits and loses to be separated ebay would have to sell them
or file for bankruptcy on one of the subsidiaries,
the question is what exactly do they think they are doing?

BrainTree seems to be the architecture PayPal is now built upon. Sounds like for developers, this is bitcoin and paypal. Now, will the paypal interface devs get on board.

There is no reason why one subsidiary would accept bitcoin and the rest of the company would not. What would likely happen is any payments to be processed with the customer paying with bitcoin will be processed via braintree which will use coinbase to process the transaction (as per news articles that have reported the deal). |

I just hate the fact you have to rely on coinbase for this one. Like get with it. Come with a solution that is easy and doesn't involve 3 degrees of separation with Coinbase/Braintree app/PayPal/etc. |

Coinbase has this infrastructure in place to be able to do this. There are also very few exchanges that could be trusted with as much money as eBay and other large corporations will be ultimately trusting with whatever service/exchange they use to convert their bitcoin to fiat. |

True. Coinbase will have the liquid to help them in the cash out/conversion scenario. Hey, by chance do you know if Coinbase now supports Canadian banks? As of Jan/Feb they did not and didn't have plans.... Would be interesting to find out. |
