eBay Crypto Rumor Kills Once Chance of a Drama-Free Consensus 2019
By CCN: When Consensus 2019 attendees heard that eBay was preparing to accept cryptos, the news spread quickly.
However, over the course of the New York Blockchain week, their hopes were dashed. eBay flat out responded to inquiries last week, stating that cryptos aren’t accepted on its platform. Furthermore, it said accepting cryptos is not a part of its payments strategy.
What Happened?
Once it became clear that eBay still wasn’t ready to accept crypto, many speculated more.

Others speculated about what this means for Amazon.
Come to think of it. If @eBay is over here spreading rumors about accepting crypto. Maybe @Amazon really isn't that far-fetched.
