let's see how that goes... operation Paperclip 2.0

Someone else was trying to sell bitcoins in this manner. They are no longer active, so perhaps that didn't end very well (chargebacks can occur up to 180 days after the sale, so sales of these might seem to be going well with no chargebacks and then all of a sudden boom!)

If enough people ask eBay about BitCoin for escrow (to avoid scamming), would they consider it? Or is that just stupid of me to think?

Are you suggesting that eBay allow the seller to put in the restriction that payment using bitcoins to an escrow service is required? I can't imagine eBay allowing this for listings on their own site.

I suppose what you could do is compose a listing that has terms "cash only, local pickup only" but then in the description mention that the item can be shipped if paid for using bitcoins (through an escrow service if the buyer wishes).

I know about a user at ebay that sold btc for paypal, too.
He sold a lot btc....
But 100% of the buyers used hacked paypal accounts..... Undecided
