ebay postpones changes

Under pressure from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) ebay has postponed changes scheduled for July 15 that would see buyers not being able to use the direct deposit method of paying for goods purchased on ebay.

Changes of May 21 that forces all sellers to offer 'paypal' will remain in place.

Pretty sure that most sellers and buyers wouldn't have a problem with the changes so far, it just making them use 'paypal' exclusively which is the thrust of postpned changes, that it is a problem.

If safety is the concern, as the ebay press release states, then why not offer other so-called secure payment services as well as 'paypal'?
