eBay Australia accepting PayPal only

    I don't know if this is happening globally but eBay Australia announced that they are going to limit the number of payment methods to PayPal and cash (only pickup). This is bad news for all those people who use bank deposit and other methods. I know a few people that use bank transfers because they hardly make a profit with PayPal fee's. Now everyone selling in Australia has to pay three separate fee's: the listing fee, %age of sale price and PayPal. Please share your opinions. I don't think this is a bad idea although it was sneaky for them to say that it was due to the fact that PayPal is more secure, I think it is just to increase the number of people paying PayPal fee's.

    have you watched channel 7 and 10 lately with all of the publicity they have been promoting on ebay scams. It does not surprise me they have made a change.
