Recently a 38 page “anonymous” submission was made to the ACCC protesting eBay’s move to a PayPal only payment option. This submission has been by far the most detailed one yet and was obviously compiled by a company with enough resources to pay the lawyers to draft it. If you want to read the whole submission I suggest you grab yourself a cuppa first and be prepared for the legal jargon. ACCC “name withheld” submission
The submission argues quite well for the case of rejecting eBay’s bid to force a PayPal only payment option. But what I found most interesting was data used to support the argument of eBay’s already major market dominance. I think that this evidence must be weighed up when making a decision whether to keep selling on eBay or in protest move to another auction site.
