Topic: Bitcoin on the Ebay - page 9. (Read 28579 times)
from my experience, I would never combine btc and ebay. Paypals policy is clear "no digital goods" allowed. They wont even review the case, just refer you to their policy refraining from digital goods. Until they officially change thier policy, I'd stay away.
I never understood the concept of buying a definite amount of Bitcoins on eBay. It just doesn't feels right.
Buy his book and get some bits back too: http://www.coinrebates.com/store/ebay
Yeah, and it could be named Bitcoin Book 
Bitcoin Book Day Where everyone in the world make a transaction for a book with Bitcoin, and then read that book
Yeah, and a Bitcoin Giveaway Day could be good idea too, some bagholders could spread us some BTC....

I'm wondering if the transaction was happened, this would be the next Bitcoin Pizza

Someone else was trying to sell bitcoins in this manner. They are no longer active, so perhaps that didn't end very well (chargebacks can occur up to 180 days after the sale, so sales of these might seem to be going well with no chargebacks and then all of a sudden boom!)

If enough people ask eBay about BitCoin for escrow (to avoid scamming), would they consider it? Or is that just stupid of me to think?
Are you suggesting that eBay allow the seller to put in the restriction that payment using bitcoins to an escrow service is required? I can't imagine eBay allowing this for listings on their own site.
I suppose what you could do is compose a listing that has terms "cash only, local pickup only" but then in the description mention that the item can be shipped if paid for using bitcoins (through an escrow service if the buyer wishes).

What do you think about http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Paperclip-w-4-Free-BTC-Bitcoins-Four-Bitcoin-/220973247094?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3373082a76#ht_500wt_1299

E-bay won't agree because it's against their policy of requiring a payment method that is reversible. The ebay rating system is currently for show for that reason as the buyer will always receive their money back no matter if they practice due diligence or not.
Em. A payment per bank is not reversible too. But ebay accepts this.
i don't know what country you hail from but, personally, I have done bank reversals on wire transfers here in the United States. More difficult than a credit card transaction reversal but, still highly possible. Not to go too off topic but this is one of the reason why I enjoy Bitcoin, YOU control your money not some bureaucratic mess(banks, government etc.)
I'm from Germany. And the bank transfer is not reversible (anyway "not", if the transfer already is in the "system").
I`m also from Germany, and bank transfers ARE reversible. Once someone I didn`t know transfered me some money by accident, and I didn`t say a thing. A month or so later my bank called me that the transfer will be reversed, for I was obviously not the intended recipient and the sender did a mistake. Banks here (and everywhere I suppose) have great liberties in reversing transfers that most people are not aware of. Another reason to like bitcoins :-)
Indeed. I mostly stopped selling stuff on eBay because they made it so easy for buyers to run scams and give sellers no help.
Agreed! I'm always amazed or upset with consumer rights.
In any trade the [scammer] can be on either side. There's no point in saying or assume "the seller" is the scammer or the potential scammer.
Then a "consumer", one that is «exclusively a consumer», is a social parasite, because normal people is both, producer and consumer. Market demands balance not grant one all privileges and make the other a sitting duck.
A while ago I quit a subscription for one of those "Consumer protection"'s magazine. I found outrageous that 99% of it was about mobile phones - for it I'll go fetch an operator flayer myself, thank you. And then add sections with a title so amazing as "The consumer demands". I really wonder who they think they're, because for "The consumer" they are meaning themselves. And "demands" goes as balanced as «the consumer must have the right to a full refund if return the thing to the shop within 15 days» - WHAT?! So let's say, I buy a pair of tennis, 15 days later go there for the refund, buy another, do the same... over and over... a free pair every 15 days? Was it the idea?!...
Gosh!...
It's true. And it's right. Those people are too seldom. And this is a little price for the customer rights.

How about putting bitcoin in the title of bitcoin buyable items and then a note about bitcoin in the body of the auction?
The ideal would be to drift away from Paypal and Ebay and have a market like biddingpond.com that did not charge near 10% total for transactions. I will soon start to list there (next week) and try it out.
Reputation will be very important on a site like that because scammers will try to infest any site. On a bitcoin driven site, most of the scamming would be done by the seller (not shipping, mis-representing) not by the buyer like in ebay.
Today ebay has made it way to easy to rip a seller off, with the biggest stupid move of eliminating negative feedback option for the seller. Now a scammer can keep doing the same trick to many sellers.
This right here(emphasis mine). I will never remove the feature of two way feedback. In the future I might even implement the ability to even block buyers based upon their positive/negative feedback ratio. Right now I'm working on a couple of Bitcoin projects as the sole developer. One of them to be released in the next few days. So, time is definitely limited.
