Default Ebay gets greedier

Just noticed on Oz eBay a message saying that as from mid June 2008 all transactions on eBay whether buying or selling must be done using Paypal which is owned by eBay. Credit cards are accepted but once again only if the transaction is done through Paypal.

This means if if you sell something using eBay you will pay the eBay fee plus a fee on the paypal transaction plus a fee to download your money from Paypal to your bank acount. A buyer pays any bank fees on uploading money to Paypal to pay for goods if there are any.

I for one will cease to use eBay for buying or selling as from that date as I cannot afford the fees especially if selling.
