It’s unfortunate for those who want to buy on eBay with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, as eBay currently doesn’t accept crypto as a form of payment. However, a simple solution is to use Bitcoin or cryptos to buy eBay gift cards/vouchers and redeem these vouchers to make your purchases on eBay.
What is an eBay gift card?
eBay Gift Cards work similarly to a traditional voucher/gift card. They can be redeemed on eBay to purchase any item in the eBay catalogue.
Interestingly, gift cards or vouchers are anonymous. As the name implies, you can use them for personal purchases or give them as a present. You use bitcoin or cryptocurrencies to get an eBay voucher and give it as a thoughtful gift to your friend or loved one.
There are different eBay gift cards, for example:
- 10 USD eBay gift card
- 50 USD eBay gift card
- 100 USD eBay gift card
Therefore, the price of eBay gift cards in bitcoin or another crypto will vary according to the exchange rate when you purchase the eBay card.
