When you buy something on eBay or Amazon, you pay the seller, he ships the product and upload a tracking number.
If you haven't received the item, you can call eBay or Amazon and, basically, what happens is that if they have a tracking number that shows that the item has been delivered, then it is ok, otherwise eBay or Amazon reverses the transaction and you get your money back.
Is that possible with bitcoin? What if I buy a boat online for 2 bitcoins and I never receive it? Is bitcoin able to solve this problem?
Thanks
It does. Some online sites are actually accepting bitcoins as a form of payment for their products. I'm just not sure about ebay because of the seller identity and the assignment of an anonymous wallet. Maybe ebay and amazon will be releasing an official statement regarding this.
