That depends on showing evidence that the account was indeed stolen. In the past, they required none and always sided with the buyer of Crypto, even when the IP that accessed the account was the same. Only, recently, I read some reports suggesting some slow change.

Giving protection to scammers, that do abusive chargebacks on crypto deals or limiting accounts with stupid pretexts, are impositions of US regulations?

Some of the account login/pw were stolen.

So, they are protecting account owner and not scammer.

I do hate paypal and not only because of their exchange commissions.

One has to have nerve, to return the money to scammers that buy crypto and then do scamming chargebacks. And lets not forget their infamous and abusive limiting of accounts policy, specially the unverified ones.

I agree. Not just commisions...

Chargebacks, unauthorized transactions, frozen accounts, claims to protect both parties (completely a lie) etc..

Not really their fault that they need to comply with US law and enforce regulation.

All these translate to higher fee to everyone.

Unfortunately, because of ebay, I still have to use these scam bags.

But I never have much money there. I'm always expecting another freeze of my account and a blackmail on sending personal documents or something.

Paypal's currency rate is suck. If paypal accept bitcoin as deposit method ( in my opinion no way ), they will exchange bitcoin to dollar with the mininmum %10 rate.

Paypal will use bitcoin as it uses the dollar. Transactions of bitcoin will be inside the paypal system, so they can be reversed, unless paypal allows you to withdraw your bitcoins from their system. Well, I bet paypal will create a series of delays (its infamous "account limited") for people willing to withdraw all their bitcoins.

Personally, I don't think paypal and bitcoin is a good fit. Paypal focus on protecting buyers even when they are in the wrong. Bitcoin on the other hand. Once you're paid, YOU'RE PAID! Also, I have to agree bitpay and coinbase are always getting more and more merchants to accept bitcoin through them so why add paypal to the mix?

It may already be too late for paypal to integrate bitcoin.

Bitpay already reaches out to many merchants.

Well i dont care if paypal adopts bitcoin or not, we dont need those banks extensions in bitcoin, what im expecting is a store chain or restaurant chain to adopt bitcoin or sone place where you can buy things in exchange for btcs

It's exactly what i think, but if big company like ebay will adopt btc to pay goods, probably also more new stores and restaurants, will adopt our loved cryptocurrency, so, for me if this adoption will occurs in a near future, probably we will see a new expansion in btc use.

Paypal adopting bitcoin would be like Stalin marrying Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

I don't think that Paypal will integrate Bitcoin in the near future. But I can see Ebay adding a Coinbase / Bitpay option very soon. During the past 2 months or so, a lot of mid-level and small-level merchants has started accepting Bitcoin payments. Ebay won't be able to ignore Bitcoin for too long.

I think the opposite. Paypal and Ebay working together. If Ebay accept bitcoin directly, Paypal's endorsement will be reduced. In my opinion there is the only way that if Paypal accept bitcoin as deposit method than you can shop in Ebay via bitcoin indirectly.

Paypal need to embrace crypto currency or end up like kodak and polaroid.
