Just got back from my break & thaught about all this befor putting my listings back up.
The petition stands at over 12000 signatures.
It is interesting to not that ebay had this planned loong ago.
they have been sneaking up on this one.
in 2005 restricting the sale of digitaly deliverd items to paypal.
then making it compulsory to offer paypal on a listing... then making it the sole mathod of payment.
am I going to put my listings up....... still thinking about it.

Don't know how rigidly Ebay enforces that policy. Just bought 3 items of a seller and he doesn't offer PayPal.

Sensis to take on ebay with Trading Post
G'day,
Just read this in todays edition of B&T (magazine for advertising industry).
Sensis is to challenge the Australian dominance of eBay by launching online auctions on its Trading Post website. The move is set to be supported by an extensive marketing campaign, involving traditional and online advertising. Sensis refused to specify how much it will spend on ads in its attempt to overturn eBay. Trading Post is to position itself as a “true Australian alternative” to eBay, with several points of difference Sensis hopes will lure consumers away from the US giant. Sellers will have to have an Australian
address, blocking overseas traders. Listings on the site will be free, with Trading Post only taking a cut of successful sales. Buyers will also be able to pay using a variety of methods, which Sensis is keen to contrast with eBay’s attempts to make consumers use the PayPal system. Sensis is to challenge the Australian dominance of eBay by launching online auctions on its Trading Post website.
“Australian sellers are up in arms about eBay making them pay via PayPal, and they are screaming out for a new way of doing online auctions. The response from sellers to Trading Post has been overwhelmingly positive.
Any competition is good in my book.

You don't have to offer Patpal for local pickup. I think people are just going to state local pickup only and then wait for buyers to ask whether they would post it, to which they wil answer yes if you pay by direct deposit, all done through email after the first question is asked, ebay can't track it or stop it.
I have just had a major cleanout and snuck the last of the items in on the 20th

Ebay had until 23rd May to comment on the public submissions. Included in the submission were objections from Reserve Bank, Commonwealth Bank, Choice and many other organisation and private submissions.
The ACCC will give an opinion in mid June to coincide with the 17th June proposed full implimentation.
As a matter of interest ebay had already excluded Western Union as a payment method under the safe payment banner so they have had their toes in the water for a while.Cheers,
Rod

Only problem with that is you have no comeback if they diddle you after you direct deposit the money.
The trading post is a pretty slow site, (all the sensis sites are) i find it a bit frustrating at times, I hope they speed it up if they are going to get into the auction thing.

I've just done something positive about this.
I've sent ebay a long email.
I strongly recomend everybody here concerned should do the same thing.
They obviously havnt had the balls to try this in the US, they are obviously trying it on here.
We need to burry the Ba@#$%$S in paper, well digits anyway.
I also notice that ebay is very quiet at the moment... hmmm
Back on the dispute thing
Have you all heard about the fishing reel scam.
there was a bloke selling a very expensive as new fishing reel a while back......he sold it a number of times and got run out of town on a rail.
The idiot tried it again under a new identity... same reel same speel.
A couple of blokes on one of the fishing forums got burned and posted up about it......one of the blokes had a transaction on the same reel pending... so they went fishing...... the scammer became the scammed....police involved.
Sammer was scammed arrested and charged.......no thanks to ebay's dispute resolution system.

It is happening already, check out this listing "Paypal not accepted under any circumstances". Ebay can't rely on the public to dob him in as well all think their new system is a rort. Interesting to see if the listing gets pulled.
