ACCC will certainly step in and give them what-for.

]]> <![CDATA[Australians question eBay's PayPal-only policy]]> I'm not going to pull out the rant-o-matic, but my wife sells her custom-designed jewelry on eBay. According to her, over the past two years the auction site has gone into the shitter in a big way.

I only live a few blocks from eBay's headquarters, and I swear I have considered sitting at the intersection of Hamilton and Irritating Left Turn Lane with a sign that reads "Please Shut My Wife up: Fix your goddamned company".

Apparently that would not help; I think it's time they fired half the dumbasses over there (who regularly run the red light at aforementioned intersection) and reinstitute the older, fairer fee structure with a provision for adding Google ads to auctions.

I won't use them anymore; they keep pulling crap like this to create a walled garden with fifteen different kinds of bricks. They don't realize that if you're going to wall off the competition, you need to make your own bricks, too.
