No news here and be aware:<p>There is no SELLER protection for virtual goods. The buyer may lie, use the bought currency and still get its money back filling a complain.<p>There are means to avoid this but you will incur in more costs...

If I&#x27;m not mistaken, this represents a reversal of Ebay policy: in the past, they used to terminate your account, freeze your assets, etc at the first hint that you were selling Bitcoins. They didn&#x27;t do this to everybody, but it happened often enough.<p>Unfortunately, the same old problem occurs here: how do you trade an irreversible currency for a reversible one?

Aw, I was hoping Ebay was finally accepting BTC as payment.
