I Have a question, I have been doing screen recording when I am paying someone with bitcoins, do you think that is a good proof? My Second question is I see this last ebay guy who was bad reputation for charge backs with paypal and buying bitcoins, can i refuse to sell him the bitcoin?

Not trolling or anything but didn't you read the OP. He got his account limited for selling bitcoin. Along with my pleas to the noobs to not risk it and others as well. Please heed the warning. No safe way exists to sell btc on eBay.

Actually, that is incorrect. It is possible to sell bitcoins on eBay, and not do so "in secret" or by any illegitimate means. You see, it wasn't my eBay account that was suspended (sorry if I didn't make that clear), it was my PayPal account that was suspended. First of all, to answer the question of why I still had things listed on eBay is because people had bid on them, and I was going to have PayPal explain to them why they couldn't buy the item-I wasn't about to do it.

Anyways, PayPal is the accepted form of payment of 95% of eBay sellers. Why? Becayse eBay owns PayPal. So, that is the default method and it is rather difficult to change your accepted method of payment. HOWEVER, eBay allows, to name a few, credit card merchant accounts, Skrill (owned by PayPal I think) and ProPay. Yesterday I signed up for an "auction account" with ProPay. It only cost $5 (a BIG promotion...I think its like $50 usually). So, I changed my default accepted payment method to ProPay. ProPay doesn't have the restriction(s) on selling anything "Bitcoin" that PayPal does. And, it operates the same way-customers pay with major credit cards and I, the merchant, never have access to their credit card info. SO, as long as PayPal is not your accepted payment method, you can sell bitcoins on eBay (eBay does not have the restrictions-PayPal does).

To answer another question I saw, I wouldn't sell bitcoins electronically no matter what. A screen shot doesn't mean much in terms of evidence (you'll have people saying you manipulated it, etc). So, my "method of selling bitcoins on eBay IS safe, as long as you don't have PayPal set as your method of accepted payment.

I listed an item as soon as my registration with ProPay was completed yesterday. Take that and go **** yourself, PayPal.
