This is certainly good news for Australian eBayers after Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) launched an investigation in the practices of eBay to find if their Australian and New Zealand sites had "engaged in conduct that had the effect of, or was likely to have the effect of, substantially lessening competition in contravention of section 45 of the Trade Practices Act 1974".
This investigation was carried out because of substantial complaints received from eBay sellers in Australia following the requirement to offer PayPal only to buyers. However, before ACCC made a decision after the investigation has been carried out, eBay decided to drop this requirement.
With this decision by eBay, ACCC has closed the investigation. That's great news. eBay should have dropped the requirement for PayPal only as soon as sellers started complaining!
