we should all support a bitcoin style auction site to compete with ebay.
Ebay, like paypal, takes too much in fees anyhow.
Topic: eBay removed my physical bitcoin listings - page 2. (Read 2489 times)
So I had a couple listings for a Titan Bitcoin and a Casascius bitcoin on eBay. They were removed by eBay today and I received an email notice stating the following:
"Due to regulations around the world, eBay restricts what types of currency can be listed. Replica coins are not allowed on eBay. All virtual currency must be listed in the Classified Ad format in the Coins & Paper Money > Virtual Currency category, regardless of whether the item is digitally or physically delivered."
So I relisted them as the email indicated. Only as a classified ad, and in the category they suggested. I guess eBay is cracking down on Bitcoin. However it's kind of an insult to say that a Casascius coin is a "replica".

When are you guys going to learn?
No Paypal, no ebay.
End of story.
My $.02.
So what's an alternative?

Isn't ebay owned by the paypal guys? I'm sure they have banned people for listing Bitcoin related stuff on there.
I think it is the other way around...ebay owns paypal (i think), not 100% sure though..

Yes. But this sucks because as far as I can tell, you can only list for 30, 60, and 90 days. There is a $10 listing fee, and I saw no buy it now option.
Am I missing something?
Is this why people are selling 1 penny, and gifting the BTC, and does ebay even fall for these pathetic loopholes?

When did they a "Virtual Currency" category to eBay?

Seems to me like you just posted it in the wrong category.
I feel for you but I guess because some ebays around the world are not accepting Bitcoin due to regulations in their countries of origin they have to re evaluate and re classify it all. Many countries are finding it hard to find a solid classification for Bitcoin. I just wish they could do what Germany dd and accept it as legal tender then it would make everything so easy.
