Some fun with a debate on PayPal
See the comments at
http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/21/visa-cybersource/

"There is no doubt in my mind that those payments processors that have dynamic links to their participating partner banks will put PayPal back into its eBay box. It’s just a matter of time."
“Today we’re dealing with phase two or phase three [he can’t even remember which one] of disruptive innovation. We’ve had the disruption, now we must disrupt our own disruption.”—John Donahoe (2007).

eBay(R) and Teradata Collaborate to Develop Deep Data Analytic Solutions
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ebayr-and-teradata-collaborate-to-develop-deep-data-analytic-solutions-92978514.html

“SAN JOSE, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Teradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC), the world’s largest company solely focused on data warehousing and enterprise analytics, today announced a joint engineering agreement with eBay, the world’s largest online marketplace. The two companies will work together to develop new analytic competencies that will deliver better customer experiences online. The focus of the joint effort is on deep storage and analytical data volumes, up to multiple petabytes.”

Nothing like closing the gate after the horse has bolted! The question still remains, how much longer can this headless turkey Donahoe and his gaggle of gobblers possibly last?

Only one comment - he finishes up by saying (about PayPal) 'and they are not protecting any of their buyers'.  I think he meant to say Sellers.

The eBay slaps never stop....

Forget reading the rules - many slaps have absolutely nothing to do with actual rule violations. I don't think that the outfit that sends the notices even reads the comment to determine if there is actually a rules violation - if someone complains that is good enough for them.

A funny thing happened on the way to the opera last night. I don’t recall seeing any publicity on it—then I no longer take any notice of eBay announcements—but I’ve just noticed that eBay UK has stopped using those most devious “Bidder 1, 2, 3, ...” bidder aliases and is now using the same slightly less-anonymous form of alias as the rest of the eBay world. Now I will be able to do some multi-auction analyses on some of those 99p-start auctions from some UK PowerSellers. But, seriously, at least UK buyers-at-auction have now got a little better chance of protecting themselves from the many unscrupulous shill-bidding sellers who were undoubtedly having a field day previously.

I don't think it really matters, the eBay pages are so badly designed and cluttered that I seriously doubt if anyone ever clicks on the stores tab

well I do but it really is surplus to needs now as store listings are included in normal listings so you dont need both the store tab and see other items tab do you ? !

as both tabs give you the same list of items

I agree, it probably is redundant now, tell me again though why eBay pushed for people to open stores so hard when it is pretty much pointless now.

The article at http://www.bloggernews.net/124457
will give you a pretty good understanding of eBay latest desperate deviousness with pricing.

eBay learns from PayPal lessons


http://www.theaustralian.com.au/australian-it/ebay-learns-from-paypal-lessons/story-e6frgakx-1225865929473
From July 14, eBay will require sellers to offer at least three safe payment methods -- PayPal, Paymate and merchant credit cards
This article is incorrect .... you only need to offer 1 of these 3 not all 3.... see how altering 1 word can change the whole context of a story


the correct wording is this
The revised policy will require sellers to offer one or more of the following three safer payment methods to buyers:

PayPal
Paymate
Merchant credit card

ACCC applauds eBay PayPal rule changes


The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission welcomes the announcement by eBay that it will change the ebay.com.au website and payment policies to remove the requirement that sellers offer PayPal as a payment option.


The ACCC had been investigating complaints that eBay and its Australian subsidiaries, eBay Australia and New Zealand Pty Ltd and PayPal Australia Pty Ltd, may have been engaging 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. By forcing sellers to offer payment for goods via PayPal it was potentially forcing out potential alternatives through ubiquitous use of the payment system. market for competitors to offer alternative systems by making PayPal.

While the ACCC had not formed a final view, following meetings with senior eBay staff eBay has introduced and brought forward changes to its payments policy which the ACCC considers will give its members greater flexibility in choosing payment options.

“The ACCC welcomes the action taken by eBay which gives eBay sellers further choice as to the payment system they use, while ensuring consumers are offered safer payment options by all eBay sellers,” ACCC chairman Graeme Samuel said today.

It is not customary for the ACCC to refer to investigations that are not in the public arena, however a substantial number of complaints have been received about certain eBay policies which affect the offering and acceptance by eBay traders of online payment services. The ACCC considered a large amount of information as part of its investigation and considers this is an appropriate outcome.

“The ACCC acknowledges eBay’s cooperation with the ACCC’s inquiries and appreciates the work done by it to address our concerns,” Mr Samuel said.
The ACCC has decided to discontinue its current inquiries into eBay’s payment policies. However, this does not restrict the ACCC from reviewing the effects of eBay or PayPal’s conduct in Australia if it raises competition concerns in the future.
