eBay seriously considering Bitcoin payments

eBay is eyeing the brave new world of cryptocurrency payments, according to a company executive.

Scott Cutler, Senior VP of eBay Americas, told Yahoo Finance: “This is a trend that everybody is talking about, but sadly, at eBay, we don’t currently accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. We’re seriously considering it as these cryptocurrencies become more of a mainstream payment instrument, but we’re not quite there yet.”

He added that eBay acts as a secondary market for cryptocurrency mining hardware, and third party sellers have listed thousands of other cryptocurrency-related collectibles.
