Re: eBay Now Doing Exclusive NFT Sales?

I just barely know that eBay has its own NFT marketplace, after looking around turns out that eBay has already taken an interest in NFTs way since early 2021[1]. In November 2021, they just started accepting the NFT business[2].

Nevertheless, from the exclusive NFT that you stated, it seems that the NFT marketplace isn't directly integrated with eBay, instead, the claim process happens outside eBay. So look like that eBay only lists an NFT, not being able to buy/sell directly within the site.

Great observation VV.. I guess eBay's been doing this longer than I thought. What you said makes me wonder how eBay handles possible scamming (buying an NFT with someone else's paypal, for example) or returns. Regardless, I'm always happy to see big marketplaces that have a huge reach to people who might not be into crypto-related things yet. I don't shop much on eBay, but kudos to them for jumping on the train and getting NFTs in front of potential buyers who might not have otherwise known what they were!
