been [1]rejected by Australia’s competition regulator, the ACCC. This
followed 650 submissions from eBay users as well as from Australian
banks, other payment services, the Australian Reserve Bank, and
(anonymously) Google, which aired a lot of dirty laundry about PayPal’s
unresponsiveness and failure to sign up to the local banking code of
conduct. Apparently the public benefits from eBay’s ‘Bad Buyer
Experience’ elimination program are likely to be ‘minimal.’ There is a
period for appeals.”
