The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has ruled that the proposed eBay changes would have “the effect of substantially lessening competition in the market in which PayPal operates” and likely result in “reduced choice for consumers, higher transactions costs and reduced innovation in online payment systems.”

So for now, eBay’s request has been denied and PayPal will not be the only option for Australian eBay users.

Expect eBay to appeal…
