We really need Amazon to start accepting Bitcoin as payment again.

Has anyone heard anything in this space?

There are mediums to use Bitcoin on amazon , but not directly. Big companies like Ebay , amazon cant use bitcoin as it is too much Volatile and they cant justify there sellers with the price. I prefer they stay with USD it will not make there sellers loss.

The volatility isn't an excuse for merchants. I don't understand why people keep repeating the same argument. Most of them get the coins directly converted to fiat once the sale is finished, there is no loss due to volatility. Also, following your logic, a large company can't start to accept BTC, but a medium or small company can. Why? The volatility depends on how big is the company? And they don't have to "justify" the price to sellers, do they do it with the dollar, euro, etc...?

I think its because large companies are usually owned by shareholders and they can't be taking huge risks when they have all their investors to answer to. Since small companies are usually privately owned they can afford to partake in more risky behavior.
