They do not need to release right now, they have multiple patent requests inplace for their new wallet. They would not be raising patent requests for fun.

Do you actually believe a company like Google, which is expanding in multiple sectors is just going to go to sleep on this one. Think again. It is going to happen. Google will not be left behind or outdone. It is the technology not the currency.
Again, speculative and wishful thinking. If they truly had their fingers on the pulse they'd've already released something.

Are they definitely doing this or is this just hearsay? Any sources?
No concrete evidence... just some rumors....
If they do it it's a big jump for BTC's most likely. PP is the main online money transmitting service now (I think) and if BTC were added in deposit/withdrawal options it would benefit both parties.
I hope they do that asap.
bitcoin price will break through 2k / BTC when google really introduces some bitcoin related services
looking forward to this

I think that this kind of news will increase after positive hearings from NYDFS

E-Bay, Pay Pal, Amazon, and so on will be forced to take part either in the short or long term. Google is building their own form of a wallet for Bitcoin and once they hit the market with their new toy, everyone else is going to be forced to act or risk being left behind. I believe the question is not fixed on; if they will take it, the question is when will they take it.

Either play the game or risk being left behind and trying your best to play catchup.

Ebay accepting Bitcoin would be massive news, but just officially allowing it isn't that huge. You can already buy and sell coins on there anyway.
Hmm... thanks for pointing it out. So the picture is not so rosy either.
I have heard for months that Ebay wanted to accept. Is it ever going to actually happen?
Anyone else tired of bitbitcoins self promoting blog links?
"Bitcoin suffers from the dark-side image and a partner like PayPal is likely to enhance the public confidence in the crypto currencies" 
Weird. I won't complain about another exchange going up, although I doubt they have the expertise to run a bitcoin exchange right.

Too bad public will fall for the craps and praise PayPal and Ebay even more. Funny how they will in the end manage to profit
the most from cryptocoins. If it's up to me, those bastards and any others would be blacklisted. Right there in source code.
All you sold faggots cheering news like this one make me sick.

I am interested in what types of fee's they will implement for this service.
It'll probably be 10%, but we'll soon find out on the 10th: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57617502-93/ebay-to-allow-bitcoin-sales-in-virtual-currency-category/
