Reply to ""Australia Blocks eBay's PayPal-Only Bid""

I for one am glad that eBay's attempt to limit payment options by buyers was blocked. First they limit one market then another and another until they control both the selling and buying and profit on both ends. It is bad enough that eBay charges listing fees and final value fees along with the processing fees when a buyer pays with PayPal, which can total more than 15 percent of the selling price by the time you pay the eBay fees on the closing price plus PayPals fees on the total amount processed. Buyers should not be limited to a single method of payment and sellers should not be forced to being able to only accept one form of payment, where the same company profits on all sides of the transaction.
