Don't know about the PayPal part but eBay did create new categories for crypto.


This is not too fresh.
It seems, I misunderstood the topic title as "Since now you can set a price in bitcoins on Ebay" .

I can't believe it. If it's true it's kind of very bullish! Are there any proof links?

I don't remember where I saw it, but a guy that called himself "skeptical" about bitcoin and used to work for PayPal said that he believed PayPal would be accepting Bitcoin in the near future.

After PayPal recently announced a ban on everything related to trade in Bitcoin (including Casascius bitcoins and mining equipment), eBay have made a category specifically catering to sales of Bitcoin. Ebay are not, however, allowing people to pay for items in Bitcoin itself. This move seems unusual, seeing as eBay effectively owns PayPal.

It is undeniable that PayPal’s regulations have, in the past, been somewhat politically motived. An example of this is their blocking of funding to Wikileaks, which prompted numerous denial-of-service attacks from hacker groups such as Anonymous.

This contradiction of agendas between eBay and PayPal seems peculiar. Why would eBay encourage sales in Bitcoin, whilst simultaneously preventing any payments from going through their main payment processor?
