Craigslist Sellers Can Now Request Cryptocurrency Payments

Craigslist Enable Sellers to Accept Bitcoin, More Merchants Adopt Cryptocurrencies


This is not be true. I did not receive any email and I very much doubt that paypal would do such a thing because of the laws of each country in relation to cryptos

There was an old exchange where you could use paypal to buy bitcoins called virwox, but they stopped that service. Paypal favours the buyer so it probably won't work with bitcoin unless they change their refund policies

old or not, this is still good for crypto. it means that they are continuing the patronage of crypto payments.
with the continuous support of other establishments to accept crypto as payment method attests that crypto is here to stay

I have my PayPal account but it looks like nothing has changed and they never report that they will integrate with crypto payments. I can't imagine on how these rivals (bitcoin & paypal) will become one.

PayPal won't accept it AFAIK and they never made any announcement regarding what you said.

it's all p2p, so the buyer and seller just need to agree on terms---bitcoin, ether, dentacoin, whatever. the "cryptocurrency OK" button basically just allows you to single out people who are crypto-friendly.

bitcoin is obviously most likely to be accepted. ether, second most likely.


you're just late to the party. craigslist added this option during the bull market, in early december 2017.

It was Coinbase yes and it wasn't PayPal. It doesn't mean that because Coinbase allowed withdrawals through Paypal, PP is now integrated with crypto payments. This news was way around a month ago.

Yeah I concur. I had logged into my old Craigslist account that day and saw the new cryptocurrency option and got excited.

if there are payments that use bitcoin or ethereum it will be very good for crypto development, and I hope that ad payments can also use other coins.

I was thinking that the run to $19,000 may have been done by enemies of BTC so that they could control the price.  They have so much now that any time it has a threat to move back up, they can simply sell more at lower prices than "normal folks" which keeps the price low.
