eBay Agrees To Hold Off Requiring PayPal For Payments In Australia

You may recall that eBay execs were trying to require the use of subsidiary PayPal for payments in Australia -- which resulted in a bunch of protests.

That, in turn, resulted in the Australia Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) saying that this probably broke the law.

Not surprisingly, eBay has now agreed to indefinitely delay the plans to require PayPal, saying that it would wait for a final ruling from the ACCC.

Of course, it still seems like a situation where this would present another opportunity for eBay competitors to try to steal customers away from eBay.
