$20,000 buyer protection huh then why can they pay me my $79? its not like they cant afford it with all the new fees ebayers are paying. Lets hope they keep their end of the bargain. Comment made about the PC Authority article: Scary auctions: offshore bargains now safer, in theory? eBay puts up $20,000 protection for buyers, including overseas shipments sold via ebay.com.au. Here's what you need to know.What do you think? Join the discussion.

Would you still fork out $1000 to import a laptop? I wouldn't. That said, good on them for doing something. most of the horror stories I've seen are due to lack of common sense. If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

well ebay does it again doubling there fees , saying it's for buyer protection  . what about the sellers who drop ship. How do they complete the sale?? it takes 4 days to get your cash from paypal then you pay the seller then it takes 2 days to ship it, that means a week before you get the product out buyers arn't going to be happy with that. so the only people who can sell either have a lot of cash and can hold lots of merchandise or a back yard seller who only wants to sell 1 or 2 things. what about the guy in the middle?? bulldust i recon they just killed my business!!!

“If a seller offers worldwide shipping, then on the Australian site they will need to accept payments in PayPal” - nice marketing spin! 1. It applies to ALL items irrespective of whether the seller allows Worldwide shipping! 2. PainPal will be THE ONLY payment option that sellers are allowed, no Direct Deposit, no Money Orders, no Cash! eBay already take 32.5% of my $4 return on packets of seed in listing and FVF fees, now eBay will take another 11% in PainPal fees. ALMOST HALF OF MY SALE WILL BE RIPPED OFF ME IN EBAY FEES! eBay are thieves...

This is Australia Wide not Worldwide. I already only accept Paypal from International buyers as other options are not appropiate due to bank fees. No More direct deposit,money orders or personal cheques from Australian buyers. Just Paypal & of course cash on pickup. I am seller from Perth so Eastern state buyers don't want to use Paypal. So they hop on plane,pick up the item pay cash, then gladly fly happily home with there auction win. This is what eBay states about Paypal.Message from our lawyers eBay is not providing financial advice to you. The PayPal service is provided by PayPal Australia Pty Limited (ABN 93 111 195 389) which holds an Australian Financial Services Licence, number 304962. eBay is an authorised representative of PayPal for the purpose of promoting PayPal and is not acting as your agent. (Excuse me need to add my comment here "They Own Paypal")You should consider the Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement before deciding to sign-up for or use the PayPal online payment service at https://www.paypal.com.au. Deciding to sign up is out the window They are forcing us to sign up if we wish to sell or buy on Feebay. Also the insurance you provide with Paypal for sellers. The item has to be sent by registered mail. Dearer postage (more fees for eBay) combined postage is not allowed on mutliple items bought by the one seller. Let me see. Let me do the Maths...4 Individual parcels to the same buyer can be sent cheaper than 4 items combined in 1 Parcel. HMMM. Let me think!! They also need to be sent registered mail for this fantastic insurance cover offered. This enforcement of Paypal is not for the safety of buyers or sellers. It is away for making more MONEY!!!!! Next it will be only Paypal credit card can be used . Then to top it off, you can only send your packages by Paypal Post.
