Mon. July 14, 2008; Posted: 09:42 PM

Jul 14, 2008 (Inside Retailing - ABIX via COMTEX) -- PYPL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- EBay has filed a section 93 notification with the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC). The online trading site wants to restrict the payment methods available to its users from 17 June 2008 to cash on delivery and PayPal, which the auction service owns. The restrictions would apply to all but the largest of items. Ebay argues that its action is for the good of its users and therefore the ACCC should approve it. However, some believe it amounts to "exclusive dealing", as outlined in section 47 of the Trade Practices Act.
