Hi Ginar.....'G' is well respected here and extremely knowledgeable on this type of thing.....This whole issue smacks of predatory business practices, and just like the Paypal only period, Ebay/Paypal are just marching ahead without consultation or consideration. It simply has to breach TPA when it comes to businesses being dominated in such a fashion via a one sided 'ever changing' UA' otherwise known as a 'contract'?
We're not just talking about ebay anymore, we're talking about E-Commerce generally. Ginar, have you made any enquiries with ACCC as a company? or RBA? I only ask because when a corporate entity makes these enquiries, ACCC tend to be more attentive, than if a consumer does.
It also must be in the jurisdiction of the Payment Systems Board & RBA, because it will effect the entire E-commerce marketplace and all of its consumers and businesses. Paypal is everywhere these days, so this is going to be the biggest cash grab we've ever witnessed surely ??. Then consider how safe your information or 'withheld finances' are in light of their UA?
Simple Question...Why don't our major banks get together and give us an Aussie Equivalent to Poopal, linked automatically to our existing bank accounts?...too easy?
