eBay has said that it will not accept cryptocurrencies at the moment, the news spread like a rumor but it has already been denied. Hopefully in the future they can really accept bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, it would be a very positive news for the adoption
Right. The origin of the rumors were goods and services related to crypto currency being offered on the platform. And as they said, there isn't any plans to adopt crypto currency for now neither for the future. Probably it was just more one fake news to attract traffic for news sites to generate profit from ads.
