Re: eBay Australia Bans ALL Payment Forms Except PayPal (OZtion beckons)
From Auctionbytes, a prime example of eBay's excellent communication of policy changes to its users
 Quote:Australian users heard about the new policy on Wednesday in newspapers, which wrote about it before eBay posted it on the Australia Announcement Board.  full article: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y08/m04/i10/s01 |

My favorite:
Quote:Visa and MasterCard are accepted only when processed through PayPal. : 
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"
"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site. best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011 |

Quote:eBay Australia's ban on all payment methods except for its own PayPal service may prevent some sellers from being eligible for the company's standard Seller Protection Policy. The initial announcement gave sellers two options, PayPal and "Pay on pick up (i.e. paid for when picking up the item)" - see http://www2.ebay.com/aw/au/200804101058562.html. However, pages detailing the new policy state that PayPal must be offered in pick-up situations (http://pages.ebay.com.au/useprotection/changes.html)... full article: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y08/m04/i14/s02 more: Quote:eBay Australia Sellers React to PayPal-Only Policyhttp://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y08/m04/i14/s03 |

Re: eBay Australia Bans ALL Payment Forms Except PayPal (OZtion beckons)
Update:
Quote:Government regulators in Australia have told eBay to hold off on plans to move to a PayPal-only marketplace in Australia on June 17, 2008. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said it believes consumers are in the best position to determine whether, for their particular transaction, PayPal offers the best features in terms of security, fraud protection, dispute resolution and insurance, at the price offered. It also said that having a single payment provider on eBay may reduce the incentive for other payment systems to develop more secure and cost effective systems... full article: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y08/m06/i12/s00 |

Re: eBay Australia Bans ALL Payment Forms Except PayPal (OZtion beckons)
eBay drops its PayPal only plans:
Quote:eBay has cancelled plans to go to a PayPal-only marketplace in Australia. It had intended to limit buyers and sellers to using its own payment service exclusively, but withdrew its notification to government regulators after the agency indicated its intention to prohibit eBay from doing so... full article: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y08/m07/i03/s01 |
