IT'S OFFICIAL: Paypal/eBay ACCEPTING Bitcoin!

[InwardContour]

This news was so huge and viral that now it's just old and the traders aren't affected by it anymore.

Tittle is misleading, good news but misleading.

Yeah, we are not quite there, bitcoin should be fully integrated into ebay, there is really nothing preventing this except politic.
Bitcoin is perfect for ebay.

Actually bitcoin would make it very easy to scam on ebay. In order for the buyer to be sufficiently protected when buying on eBay the buyer needs to have the ability to dispute the sale within a certain amount of time if the product they buy does not arrive or is defective.

Also you can use whatever method of payment you want to and the seller agree to when you buy something.

I really hope that this will happen soon.
Such thing will really impact value and popularity of bitcoin a lot.
Bitcoin is on the way to become mainstream

That was a huge news, bigger than the Dell / Overstock ones!

[CryptoCarmen]

It will still pass lots of time that something will actually happen. There was only promises so far.

This is true. The seller is able to accept any form of payment he wishes. He will likely not receive much interest in his auction if he only accepts a payment method that is difficult to use.

that was possible before too, with a CC with BTC like Xapo.

there is just little demand for that. i guess, first when people find out that $500 for a BTC is like the highest possible price, they will start trading it and not hording and BTC is going to survive a little longer.

they need to rush it or they will lose the opportunity to earn lots of $.

You know, I heard Tiger Direct was accepting bitcoins too but when I checked out the other day I did not see the option to pay with BTC. Could it be they just accept it so they can get the business of crypto miners and don't really want to in general?

If they are paying to exchange it immediately, that probably sucks the profit out of it. I never really realized how high the fees were at Coinbase until I purchased a significant amount. Must they butt rape us so?

Bitcoin is perfect for ebay scammers.

Fixed that sentence.

Ebay is already full of scammers as it is.

If other measures are not put in place the adoption of btc will only make it easier.

[EnfoncerQ2]

Exactly, scams in ebay happen daily. Dont kill the messenger.

I think you are probably right about people scamming on ebay with bitcoin. I think it would create incentives for people to try to buy/sell (or hack) accounts with a lot of trades and auction something off that is high value. Since it is generally difficult to tell the value of past trades it would be difficult to tell what is happening.

Going to wait and see how this will be implemented.

But this is definitely a win for bitcoin

no, it is a win for paypal.

[hgerson]

no, it is a win for paypal.

Don't be silly.
It's a win for bitcoin but it may fire back because of scammers.

Let's see what measures they put in place.
