eBay Bans Third-Party Checkout


http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y10/m08/i24/s04


this makes eBay Australia's claim that they now allow credit payments questionable as the only way a seller could process credit card payments for eBay sales was through a 3rd party checkout

Hackers Drain PayPal Accounts Through iTunes
http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/23/paypal-itunes-fraud/

Much better commenting on this fascinating matter at the above link. It's not just PayPal accounts being attacked, it's credit cards and bank accounts apparently, so it appears that it is an iTunes problem, although Apple, like eBay, deny that it is their problem. So, what's new from the corporates?
“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’s reward program sparks consumer spending

In the last few years, eBay has tried to ramp up use of PayPal. EBay did away with paper payments such as check, cash and money orders.  And while eBay does allow merchants to accept credit and debit cards, it does its best to keep that fact low key, Wingo says. For example, after a shopper clicks the ‘Pay Now’ button, she sees a giant ‘Pay with PayPal’ button and a smaller ‘Other’ button that doesn’t say anything about paying with a credit card.

http://letters.auctionbytes.com/cgi-bin/blog/blog.pl?/comments/2010/8/1283029947.html


Examples that aren't Feedback extortion

A buyer says he or she will leave negative Feedback or low detailed seller ratings (DSRs) unless the seller accepts a return and pays for return shipping.

A buyer feels the shipping costs are too high and says he or she will leave negative Feedback or DSRs unless the seller lowers the shipping costs[/i]
