eBay UK - PayPal Compulsory All Listings 4 June 08
eBay UK have announced all listings from all sellers must offer PayPal with effect from 4 June 2008.
I’ve posted a log in our forums detailing how this policy grew from being applicable only to 4 categories renowned for seller fraud in August last year, to encompassing all low feedback sellers, to now tarring every seller and category with the same you-are-a-scammer-sir/madame brush.
Coming whilst everyone and his uncle plus government agencies are fighting the PayPal-only announcement in Australia, eBay UK seems to be using policy-creepage to sneak this one past the regulators.
The only upside of the UK’s policy that I can see, is that it will reduce overseas listings on the UK site.
With Australians overwhelmingly rejecting PayPal, and large numbers of (genuine & honest) sellers in East Asia not having the financial instruments to get a PayPal account, this should relieve the listing-count pressure on UK’s open-to-all Cheap Listing Days, as well as at other times.
