eBay yesterday withdrew its mandate that customers exclusively use PayPal. The auction site's decision came just weeks before consumer watchdog the ACCC was due to pass judgement on its decision.
The Reserve Bank of Australia today said it would shortly hold meetings with eBay subsidiary PayPal over the online auction giant's attempt to force sellers to offer PayPal as a payment option.
With the ACCC appearing likely to stop eBay's exclusive deal with PayPal, the online selling giant has today not ruled out appealing against an unfavourable decision.
