It will be interesting to see if judges and politicians in Australia are bought as easily as those in The U.S.. If they are not, that abortion PaPal will lose out.

Ebay move to control is outrageous. Rasing fees and now limiting who you can use to "Pay" sellers will bring sellers and buyers a great desire to find a new home to sell & buy. To change the wheel when it has worked so well for may years is stupid. The bean counter who thought up this crap will be gone when the ax falls. But will probable get a big check to hit the door. So much for upsetting the apple cart.

Ebay used to be good, now it is a ca$h hungry beast, changing everything all the time, PayPal stinks..I had my bank account hit 2 days after registering an account ("required") & they would not help 1 bit...the Bank was better but Ebay no way- I quit already, too much crapolo anyway
