I am sure that the eBay management have already realized of the kind of goodwill which being connected with Bitcoin can bring to their brandname and business in general. I understand that with the scalability problem of Bitcoin many merchants are still have to get an avalanche of business from many Bitcoin holders (this can be changing in the future though) but the most important benefits is that goodwill or exposure that may follow just accepting Bitcoin as one of the mode of payments. In fact, there are now companies who experienced growth just accepting Bitcoin and I am not just talking about sales here. For eBay this can be a new chapter for the company and I am hoping they really push it now and not delay the decision.
