With the ACCC appearing likely to stop eBay's exclusive deal with PayPal, the online selling giant has today not ruled out appealing against an unfavourable decision.
eBay yesterday withdrew its mandate that customers exclusively use PayPal. The auction site's decision came just weeks before consumer watchdog the ACCC was due to pass judgement on its decision.
The ACCC has given eBay until 23 May to respond to concerns over its proposed exclusivity deal with its online payment arm PayPal.
As eBay continues to promote its move to a single payment system &mdash PayPal &mdash as being in the best interests of its users, one security specialist believes it may be asking for trouble.
Google on Tuesday said it is now using an email authentication technology to keep phishers from luring Gmail users to fake eBay and PayPal Web pages in order to steal usernames and passwords.
Now that the bizarre ruckus over eBay's proposed PayPal monopoly appears totalled, it seems a good time to ponder why eBay chose Australia to risk its reputation on such a massively unpopular scheme.
Australia's ongoing PayPal saga has taken another turn today with the news that an anonymous submission sent to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) opposing eBay's exclusive deal with the payment provider was authored by Google.
