eBay To Pursue Crypto Payment Options And Introduce NFTs May 5, 2021 eBay To Pursue Crypto Payment Options And Introduce NFTs May 5, 2021
\neBay , the major online marketplace, has announced that it will be pursuing crypto payment options for its customers along with exploring ways to introduce nonfungible tokens ( NFTs ) on the platform.
\nJamie Iannone, the CEO of eBay, said that the company will \u201ccontinue to look\u201d at payment options like crypto. He added that eBay will be \u201cexploring opportunities\u201d to enable NFTs on the platform \u201cin an easy way,\u201d comparing the digital offerings to collectibles.
\nHe said:
\n\u201cOne of the great things about eBay is when there\u2019s a new trend, it just shows up on eBay. That\u2019s what we\u2019re seeing in areas like NFT, which we\u2019re looking at how can we explore that better.\u201d
\n the CEO said parts of NFTs were \u201calready transacting\u201d on the platform now but eBay had not yet simplified the process for buyers and sellers. Some users are also able to list Bitcoin (BTC) for sale on the platform seemingly without eBay specifically sanctioning such auctions.

\nHowever, executives at the online marketplace have previously hinted that eBay could be open to accepting crypto payments. Three years ago, a senior vice president at the firm said eBay was \u201cseriously considering\u201d integrating BTC into its platform as a payment method.
\nThe platform also partnered with PayPal to facilitate payments prior to the payments provider announcing it would allow crypto trading last year.
\nThus, the firm is slowly transitioning from using PayPal to e-commerce firm Adyen. As of the first quarter of 2021, eBay has around 187 million active buyers.
