I think eBay have to support Bitcoin soon, the number of Bitcoin's fans and users is growing daily , and a lot of countries allow making trades with Bitcoin, so i don't see real reason to eliminate Bitcoin from the eBay payment processors
eBay won't accept Bitcoin any time soon, if ever, for the simple reason that Bitcoin is irreversible and so requires funds to be held in escrow until both parties are satisfied. It also requires fees to be paid by the seller either in advance or at the time of the sale, deducted from the amount received by the seller. This is such a huge departure from their current model that they simply couldn't support it in parallel with their current transaction process via PayPal. People (sellers particularly) will just get totally confused... "If they pay with PayPal I get it straight away but if they pay with Bitcoin I don't get the money until after I send the item and they notify eBay to release the money??"
This is the reason that
https://cryptothrift.com exists and why it is so popular amongst the Bitcoin community. Everybody knows in advance that if the buyer chooses to use escrow (which they should), the money goes into escrow and the seller will receive their money after they have delivered. The business is built around an escrow service that expects to have to intervene to resolve disputes and to release money from escrow to sellers in the event the buyer forgets.
Disclosure: I am the co-founder and developer of CryptoThrift... expect big changes to arrive soon!
Nah, i think ebay already approve bitcoin as their payment,
but not.
The OP of this thread ever said, ebay accept it. What is his plan to share some hoax in here.
For the OP: if you want sell same books with BTC, you can sell in on this thread and give us know about your conversation with the CS's ebay.
But please do not make some hoax news here.
