Power to the users

Users on the Australian eBay site has been informed yesterday of eBay's decision to withdraw its proposal to made PayPal the only payment option (other than cash on delivery) available for the majority of the auctions held on their site.

It's about bloody time. The original idea was stupid to start with, and has outraged many sellers on the site. ACCC has good sense to reject eBay's proposal and eBay finally has bowed to public pressure to withdraw the proposal. They must have realised that their bad PR is taking its toll.

PayPal is still a must on all listings, but at least buyers will still have a choice to pay via other methods.
