Man, just a couple of months ago we were terrified by the fact that eBay and Paypal were declaring total war to Bitcoin, now they even have an ad hoc place to sell it. If that's not a huge step forward, I don't know what is.

Just a few days ago they banned a number of users for dealing with BTC.

Until they allow payment for goods and services by Bitcoin, I don't think this will move the needle that much.

As long as PayPal is tied to the hip of Ebay, it won't happen soon.

This is not news.  They added this category to the UK site a few months ago.  This is just addition to the US site now.

The great news is they now allow trading it and, more importantly, since Paypal is theirs, they should finally stop this shame!

There is no sign that they are allowing the trade. Making a separate category is different from granting a permission.

OK, but if logic isn't an opinion, creating a category for selling bitcoin would imply that bitcoin can be sold on eBay.

Is there a corresponding release from Paypal? If you can complete the purchase with Paypal its kind of a non-starter.

Still though with there track record I won't use them

Ha I read an article about 'Paycoin' coming out and it honestly sounds good. As long as people can have their currency backed up I see no problem. Virtual currencies are the future and should be embraced by big companies/govts. This is the paycoin article http://www.panture.com/virtual-currencies-can-work/

I expected bigger change in the BTC rate...

Frequently in the last month CoinDesk has had more than a page worth of "Good news" headlines in a day, "it" is happening, BUT the China FUD has been overwhelming it.

Yah i saw that.
All above me were right. Only the time will win.

While this will not have any material impact on the bitcoin usd rate, the inclusion by ebay is good news for the adoption of bitcoins. ebay and paypal have had history of listing and de-listing. Lets see if this one sticks around.

I don't have any faith in Ebay. They have issued no statement about it. It is good news, if they actually permits the sale of Bitcoin and other accessories in the site. But I need confirmation.

Ok Check!

In the exchange rate? This is a very minor step. It will have no effect at all.

For the love of all that is holy, STOP worshipping the fiat exchange rate!!!

That rate is WRONG to begin with because it assigns a monetary value to fiat greater than 0!

Give the world time to figure out just how obsolete fiat is, the exchange rate will correct itself. This will take years, not days, by the way.
