Bitcoin will pay for auctions on eBay. BTC close to 8000 $

This is not official information yet, but eBay, the global hegemon in online auctions, has just admitted that it is close to implementing fees for purchased items in the world's most recognizable cryptocurrency - Bitcoinach. In Poland, a pizza can be ordered for a cryptocurrency.

This information is even more probable that Sanja Kon, former director of eBay and PayPal, is currently working at Utrust.
