Just days before eBay Australia was planning to introduce the new rule - on 17th June, 2008 - the ACCC has released a draft notice proposing to revoke eBay’s immunity from Section 47 of the […]

Posted by admin in Online Auctions
Almost a month ago, eBay Australia implemented some changes to the feedback system, preventing sellers from leaving negative or neutral feedback for buyers. In a nutshell, sellers can only leave positive feedback for a buyer now, regardless of what happened in the transaction.
The buyer can however still leave positive, neutral or negative feedback for the […]

Rumour has it, that the big G (Google) has lodged an anonymous submission with the ACCC over eBay Australia’s PayPal plans. Although their 38 page submission was meant to be anonymous, one clever person found out who had filed it.

That’s it, I’ve had enough!
It’s not very often that I share emails from customers on the blog (actually, I think this is the first time), but this one email was the last straw. It is so frustrating that people don’t seem to think that the same basic principles that apply to offline businesses, also apply […]

On the 12th May (last Monday) eBay started to implement changes to the feedback system. One of these changes included crediting eBay members with feedback points from multiple feedback left by the same person, backdated to 1996.

eBay Under Pressure From Reserve Bank
Published in May 18th, 2008

Posted by admin in Online Auctions
At last, someone who might be big enough to force the ACCC into action against eBay’s planned PayPal ruling is considering making a submission to the ACCC.
Believe it or not, the Reserve Bank of Australia isn’t happy with eBay’s latest decision. One submission against eBay’s proposal from them will probably give more clout to the […]

I’m sure most of you who have an eBay Australia account would have heard the news. From June 17th this year, the only payment method you’ll be allowed to offer on most eBay Australia listings is PayPal - no more bank deposits, money orders or cheques.
