Topic: eBay Deleting All Bitcoin Listings - page 4. (Read 12506 times)
Selling anything intangible on ebay is a bad idea to begin with because of the risk of paypal chargebacks. Even if you pull the selling a flash drive that just happens to contain BTC scheme you still will be unlikely to win any chargeback from a scammer. Ebay/paypal always side with the buyer in any case and you can bet the person handling the dispute won't bother looking into exactly what bitcoin is before rendering a verdict.
What about selling paperclips, with a note containing an e-wallet account or something like that. I mean a small physical object and attached information on how to obtain the bitcoins.
um, what about an online picture of a bunch of numbers that turns out to be a valid keypair?
DE%TH TO PAYPAL. Financial dictators 
Id say even worse than uncle gorilla himself.

I did a search, and I see 25 listings that are out there, 24 of which seem to be for Bitcoins:

So maybe you were just doing something wrong. Learn from the ones that are being successful.
(or maybe these haven't yet been deleted...)

Outrageous. There's no money like new money.
ebay = paypal so it's to be expected 
See topic. eBay is currently aggressively deleting all Bitcoin listings, claiming that selling them "violates intellectual property and copyright."
Pretty disgusting huh?
