or at least according to Alastair MacGibbon, from eBay
Quote:
EBAY AUSTRALIA HAS firmly lodged its foot in its mouth, by comparing sellers who don?t use the Paypal option to heroin dealers.
At a "town hall" style meeting to discuss the fact that Ebay Australia will be scrapping all payment methods apart from Paypal, events went from bad to worse, with Ebay?s regional VP ending the evening with a comparison between people who didn't want to use PayPal and Junkies.
In April Ebay Australia announced that as of June, buyers would only be able to buy goods via the online commerce website Paypal, which just so happens to be owned by the online auction company.

Personally, having had so many of my friends and people I know ripped off using paypal i won't touch them, don't even have an account. it'll be a shame if they try to do the same in the UK, as it'll only cause numerous sales to go "under the radar" and being left open to other fraudulent methods...
