In Mid May, we announced on June 17th all items sold on ebay.com.au will require sellers to only offer PayPal or pay on pick up on their listings. No other payment methods will be permitted. However, a ruling last week by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) will delay the removal of other payment methods from ebay.com.au until mid July.
eBay Australia intends to work with the ACCC in order to continue to provide buyers and sellers a more secure way to trade with confidence on ebay.com.au. To learn more or to read the media statement released by ebay.com.au, click here.
What does this mean for you?
From 15 July 2008, the only payment methods sellers may offer on eBay.com.au will be PayPal and pay on pick up.
Current policies regarding accepted payment methods do still apply. This means PayPal is required on all listings on eBay.com.au. Other payment methods (i.e. bank deposit, cheque/money order) may also be offered until 15 July 2008. As previously communicated any listings that do not comply with eBay’s Accepted Payments Policy will be removed.
There are a small number of categories excluded from these changes. Learn more about these exclusions.
