Tittle is misleading, good news but misleading.

Yeah, we are not quite there, bitcoin should be fully integrated into ebay, there is really nothing preventing this except politic.
Bitcoin is perfect for ebay scammers.

Fixed that sentence.

Ebay is already full of scammers as it is.

If other measures are not put in place the adoption of btc will only make it easier.
I think you are probably right about people scamming on ebay with bitcoin. I think it would create incentives for people to try to buy/sell (or hack) accounts with a lot of trades and auction something off that is high value. Since it is generally difficult to tell the value of past trades it would be difficult to tell what is happening.
