Paypal loophole means EU punters can suffer


....... there's no way of talking to anyone about the matter. The Paypal "contact us" button only replies to fixed questions. The customer service chat was staffed by a bot.

After it refused to reply to our requests for information about the matter we tapped in the phrase "Is it true that asking you for information is a bit like asking the cat?" The customer service section said "I love cats and if I had more time I would love to own one." This sums up Paypal's attitude quite well.

EBay Fails to Respond to Federal Suit


.................... critics have complained that forcing sellers to use PayPal is just another way for the company to charge additional fees and pad its bottom line.

Macuga, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, said eBay was violating anti-trust laws. “There’s no reason at all why US currency shouldn’t be useable,” he said. “There is no reason why cashiers’ checks or any other form of liquidity should be precluded — except that eBay makes more money utilizing PayPal.”

Visa Launches PayPal Alternative
http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/06/24/0157258/Visa-Launches-PayPal-Alternative?from=rss

"Visa has entered the micropayment processing space with payclick, a pre-paid hosted service that will compete with the likes of PayPal. Payclick is aimed at teenagers purchasing online content like music and games where the value of the transaction is likely to be less than $20. Like PayPal, payclick is an online money repository that people can pay into with a bank account or credit card (Visa or MasterCard) and then use the funds to purchase products online. The service was developed and launched in Australia with a view for global markets. PayPal integration is not there yet, but parents can monitor the amount of funds their under-18 children have to spend online. For e-commerce sites, an SDK is available for payclick integration."

eBay/PayPal/Donahoe: Dead Men Walking
“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 apps make it No. 1 mobile retailer in U.S.


http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/06/27/BUJE1E4CGO.DTL&type=business


Maybe the increasing use of iPhone apps for eBay is the cause of some sellers false negs (negatives left with a positive comment and no complaint raised with the seller at all). Seems to be an increasingly common occurrence according to threads on the PS board.

Maybe big fingers don't always hit on the right 'button' on the iPhone screen.
