You know what would get Amazon to start accepting Bitcoin?

A bunch of people using Bitcoin to shop at Amazon.

WHICH YOU CAN ALREADY DO.

I wasnt aware amazon already took bitcoin. I dont even have an amazon account as i do most of my online buying and selling on ebay. If i can sell on amazon and get bitcoin i will open up a shop their as well though.

Not only can you buy things on Amazon with bitcoins but you can get things for a 10-20% discount through http://www.purse.io

It's super easy to use and saving money is always good.

Does Paypal accept bitcoins too now? I know with Neteller you can deposit bitcoins and use their virtual debit cards to shop online. I haven't seen any bitcoin options in my Paypal tabs.

Paypal dont accept bitcoin and i doubt they ever will. Its pretty much direct competition for them.

Edit:- or maybe im wrong on this, i just checked and am reading some things about paypal/biitcoin. Can anyone confirm?

It would be good to give us more options for payment. I'm surprised they haven't started their own crypto currency

These sites will not accept bitcoin as a payment processor except if it go mainstream and its price become more stave.
This can be happened but not soon

I agree with you. In order for companies that big as paypal and amazon to accept bitcoin as payment, bitcoin would have to become way bigger and be used by way more people than it has been right now.

This might happen but not soon enough. It can take years for this to happen.

If Amazon and Ebay start to accept BTC as a currency then we will see the user base multiply very quickly, in turn causing BTC to hit all time highs.

Amazon pays around half all their entire profit yearly just for the transaction fees of the current payment systems they accept, using BTC would greatly increase their profit margin.

It might help to make Bitcoin a bit more popular, but I can't see Amazon making the Bitcoin userbase at least double. The price will most likely rice due to the fact that it is very good news, with a peak as result. People can already purchase stuff with Bitcoin at Amazong via purse.io.

It might be that open bazaar has a bigger long term effect on the price with people keeping their money in bitcoin. Amazon/ebay would always be big news though.

Yet more people who only care about the Bitcoin price and not the utility of it.

You can already buy stuff on Amazon and eBay with bitcoins.

Start spending your bitcoins people. It can be used as a currency after all.

They really should. Amazon would face no loss there, since they dont have their own gateway and eBay al PayPal are also seperate companies for some time now, as i aknowledge.

Amazon and eBay are the worlds largest market, so they need to be careful in inventing Bitcoin as a payment. Bitcoin's volatile nature must be concern for them right now, if there are lots of people making use of it, they might start accepting as payment.

volatility is not a concern, they can do the same way dell and newegg are doing, dumping at soon as they receive their bitcoin, in automatic way through bitpay for example

they could even benefit from offchain transaction, which would alleviate the whole delay for the transaction confirmation

I'm looking forward for the day this will become true and actually happen. For now I think they are afraid that they won't make much profits on bitcoin users if they make this service available.
More people would need to adapt to bitcoin in order for this to happen. All these merchants are only looking for profit, if they don't believe in it then they won't set it up.

This will feel pretty damn good if/when this day happens. I feel ebay will accept bitcoin before paypal though for obvious reasons.

Why only Amazon and eBay, btc will be accepted by all e-commerce sites soon. The need is to wait and watch btc growing in a
tremendous manner . BTC has capability to be used as a standard currency in whole world soon.

I that is quite impossible to happen like what you said. The whole world will not be using only one standard currency bitcoin either soon or later. That is quite big optimistic.

The main draw back in bitcoin for using it as a standard currency is governments can't track the transactions and they can't put the taxes for these transaction so surely they will not allow to become a standard currency. But it may slowly grow bigger than current size for sure.

This is just a fantasy of mine.

Since the split of ebay and paypal, buyers have been looking forward to more payment choices. I wonder if bitcoin is one of the considerations.

Amazon buyers with bitcoins have been using purse.io to get cheaper goods. I wonder how the implementation of bitcoin payment is going to impact the prices of bitcoins.

What we need is for bitcoin to be used on paypal like any other fiat currency that is more important and then should make using bitcoin everywhere easy even if paypal have to convert before the buyer buying.
