It seems to me that governments in other parts of the developed world seem so fair compared to the government here when it comes protecting the small man from the greedy business community. It never used to be like that. It has just gotten so much worse in recent years.In Australia, eBay might soon be forced to let vendors choose their payment method of choice. The issue has been taken to the anti-trust authority in that country – FULL STORY.If this decision is passed against eBay, they might be forced to deploy it worldwide.There is a whole industry dedicated to destroying eBay’s reputation and eBay lawyers are busy fighting hundreds of lawsuits and class-action lawsuits on a daily basis.If you have never used eBay, it might help to understand why this is a big deal by going to any of the following sites and reading what people go through with eBay. This is just a tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds of sites and blogs just like these on the web. I mean, people withdraw their 401Ks once they realise how lucrative it can be selling on eBay, only to be shut down on a whim, often without a clear explanation with no chance to correct the problem;www.paypalsucks.comwww.nopaypal.comwww.paypalwarning.comebaypigs.org
