Hi... there are some good deals on ebay and I am wondering if it's ok to buy bitcoins on ebay platform? Anyone who bought there could you please share your experience? Also what if the seller don't send the bitcoins after you paid? Will ebay help? What about their ebay purchase protection policy?

I don't think ebay allows digital coin transactions. I used to try selling dogecoin on ebay back in 2014 and it was about that time that ebay passed regulation that forbade selling digital coins. If a listing is against ebay's rules, then ebay will delete the listing if they see it. This means that all record of such transaction will be lost, and you have no accountability to make sure you get what you paid for. Don't buy bitcoin or any altcoin on ebay, it's too risky.

They used to allow it, but due to the sheer amount of people who were scamming and abusing the fact that Bitcoin transactions are non-reversible, they changed their TOS to disallow it. I personally think this was smart considering that some people were paying up to 50% above market rate for Bitcoins. This is just not right. As much as PayPal needs to reform their model when it comes to disputes, this happens to be a good move by them.
