I don't think they have even trying to make it right now. all they said is they are thinking about it. It is surely possible that they are going to implement it sooner then you think but it comes with a lot of risks. it's like they do not know if it is gonna work or not. so they have to rely on luck and big companies do not do that. they believe on past analysis than some luck bullshit. They have to be sure that it is gonna be profitable to them.

It's rumores ebay is gonna to start accepting crypto payments. Have u heard? I am glad that more e-commerce companies are starting to allow the use of cryptocurrency to pay. It can be assumed that Amazon and Ebay will develop their own cryptocurrency

There is so many rumour on the market. Don't read it. You can reach the official announcement from their source. They may be thinking about cryptocurrencies but there is no official announcement yet.

THis really is a good thing. Since only the average person uses EBAY. Having Bitcoin on the platform will create good recognition. and encourage people to get into it

I not heard about it, but i think is better if they accept crypto. Or will they only create own crypto for payments? Has anyone more info about? Because if they create own crypto maybe people who already have crypto will buy still with fiat money.

We have more than enough cryptocurrencies, so it is unnecessary for eBay to create its own. It's high time they accept bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies, but perhaps they are weighing the near-term costs and thus far don't find it worthwhile. But we all know at some point they will have no choice but to accept them, because competitors certainly will.

Some of the merchants in Alibaba had been accepting crypto for years now.
Are you sure about that? I looked up Alibaba's payment methods and Bitcoin isn't listed as option, and as far as I know individual merchants don't have the ability to use other payment options.

There have been new crypto based marketplaces and these markets would surely put some pressure on Ebay to try something new.
I have seen none that actually pressure eBay in whatever form or shape. OpenBazaar looks like an eBay killer on paper, but its use hasn't been picking up, which has been like this for years now.

If something doesn't take off in its first few years of existence, chances are that it never might, especially with how there is zero marketing to attract new users. No marketing means no users, it's that simple.

I completely disagree this news. today via google news I read that Ebay rejects the crypto payment again as a title.

Why unwanted rumours has been digged up here that is what I want to say here.

If you want to use crypto at e commerce site then you need to use the purse website to access over the amazon site. You may get the little discount also using purse site.

I don't think the ebay rumor of accepting cryptocurrency is real because I saw a new recently that it is not true. Although it would have been a great move if the rumor was true because ebay is one of the largest e-commerce platform globally and the acceptance of bitcoin on the platform would bring in move user to the blockchain ecosystem. Amazon on the other hand have had some partnership program with seveal top notch cryptocurrency project and I think a big news is around the corner.

I often hear the news, but I have never seen anything real. maybe this can be used as one of the things that will happen, and ebay might motivate many e-commerce to adopt bitcoin as payment.

the era has become more advanced, besides ebay many accept payment tools using cryptocurrency especially in bitcoin. like Amazon.com. maybe in the future cryptocurrency will be accepted throughout the world to make it easier for underprivileged traders

Some of the merchants in Alibaba had been accepting crypto for years now. But Ebay is much different from that but they could let the users opt out for their own choice of payment at their own risk.
There have been new crypto based marketplaces and these markets would surely put some pressure on Ebay to try something new.

Not so fast, they have indeed denied the rumor already, although there are some teasers a few days ago that's why all of the sudden the crypto world was so ecstatic. But it is what it is, maybe Ebay doesn't want at this stage to accept it, but there are still hope that they will be in the future to bring crypto much closer to the adoption that we all have been clamouring for.

There is limited access it seems depending on the trader who have listed the products or services through eBay. There isn't any specific official statement have come out regarding the same. As large scale firms have begun to accept bitcoin, maybe we can expect this to happen in the future same as that of Starbucks which initially started then stopped the service and now once again got resumed.
I guess that's good news for all of us who patronized crypto for so long time. This will have huge impact to demand of bitcoin along with other cryptocurrency, due to its usefulness in terms of adoption. Many people will be encouraged using bitcoin as their mode of payment transactions, because it provides a secure payment and fast processing. You'll be in a hassle free system compared to a traditional ways of payment, specially these days that most countries were more fanatic of online shopping.

These rumors having been going on forever and they won't stop now!
And because of eBay's buyer/seller protection program, cryptocurrencies don't sit well with their business model because reversals aren't possible which has to mean this remains a speculation!

I am sure that eBay can modify their platform and specifications in order to welcome bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to their marketplace that is if they want. As to reversal, maybe eBay can inform buyers that using cryptocurrency means no reversal. However, am sure many buyers will not welcome this idea because just like PayPal buyers must be protected with sellers not acting accordingly or maybe eBay can just select reliable sellers for this option and not make it available to all. Anyway, as long as there is that desire and the will solutions can always be found.

it will be very good if they accept payment using cryptocurrency, because I believe it will definitely increase crypto prices in the future.
Yes ebay is a good place to shop and a good place to expose cryptocurrency. I hope this is not a rumor, because this kind of adoption with bitcoin is important. If all the online shopping accepts cryptocurrency, we will have a better world, though alibaba have their own way to transact online i also hope this huge market will also see interest in cryptomarket.

This is sad, they are still not ready for now hopefully in the future. Huh

So i am still spectacle about this news, because there is another news which makes this weird, eBay did not announce that they will be accepting bitcoin in it self which is yet to be conformed, on the other hand there are rumors about Paypal developing its own crypto, which leads me to believe that they are working on a crypto just like Facebook, that it will be used on their platform on ebay, it might seem like its good news but if this coin which they are creating to be used on ebay means that it is going to be centrelized, but as always these are just rumors and things yet to be announced.

It would be great if not only eBay considered Bitcoin as a payment method, but also other large companies, trading networks began to accept Bitcoin as a payment. It's time to integrate Bitcoin at least into online commerce.
