Canada Post Proposed Changes Impact eBay Media Sellers

EBay Abandons Plans For PayPal Monopoly

An anonymous reader writes "eBay's has lost its fight to ban all payment methods except PayPal. When Paypal originally announced the scheme it was to be global, but they began with a dry run in Australia to test the reaction of government and consumer authorities. In the public slanging match that followed between eBay and the regulatory ACCC, eBay spammed users claiming it was fighting for 'safety benefits for consumers.' Fortunately the consumers won. Conceded eBay vice president Simon Smith, 'While we disagree with the ACCC's draft notice, we have decided to withdraw the notification to stop any further confusion and disruption among the eBay community.' Nevertheless eBay insists PayPal is now always offered as a payment option. Have big corporations finally learned that they can go too far? More chillingly, if eBay had launched the sc

Craigslist's Response To eBay: We Had To Do It!

After eBay sued Craigslist, Craigslist's initial responses were rather weak. eBay made a pretty strong case arguing that Craigslist's board had unilaterally diluted eBay's shares -- which seems pretty questionable. Craigslist initially shot back by accusing eBay of doing the same things eBay was accusing Craigslist of doing -- but that was somewhat misleading. eBay wasn't complaining about the specific actions Craigslist was taking -- but the fact that they had done so unilaterally, despite eBay's ownership stake and board position. Then, Craigslist countersued eBay with a laundry list of charges that effectively amounted to "we don't like them being on our board." Both of these responses were a bit disappointing. While I like Craigslist, and respect Craig and Jim, they still hadn't explained why it was legal for them to unilaterally dilu

Trade secrets: Telstra pits Trading Post against eBay

Telstra's Sensis will launch Trading Post auctions online in mid-2008 in order to compete with eBay Australia. While eBay has a strong international base of buyers and sellers, the Trading Post venture may well succeed on the basis of its well-established name, its promise not to charge for up to 50 listings per month and a cap strategy on successful sales fees. Sensis CEO Bruce Akhurst will take the risk of launching the online auction against the enormity of eBay, as the company must find a way to justify its overpriced purchase of the Trading Post in 2004

Australian regulator blocks eBay's PayPal-only plan

EBay Inc. said yesterday it will postpone plans to make its PayPal system the only way to pay for deals on its auction site in Australia after the antitrust regulator said it would reduce competition. Australia was the first place where eBay was planning the PayPal-only system. The plan angered some users who said using PayPal would cost them more than other payment methods, and that eBay was just interested in increasing revenue for PayPal, which it owns. The government's Australian Competition and Consumer Commission opened an investigation into the plan and considered submissions from Australian banks and users of the online auction site claiming the restrictions were unfair. EBAY (Nasdaq) rose 15 cents (U.S.) to $28.23.

Competing With Keywords Increases Your Ebay Sales!

Ebay is the largest and most popular online marketplace on earth! And with this, it is only obvious that ebay is highly competitive, for both the Ebay buyers as well as for Ebay sellers. With millions of entries in the eBay store, it is necessary to use appropriate keywords to manage the store. A keyword is nothing but a significant word in the title or description of an item. Therefore, keywords used in the listing needs to be directly relevant to the items being sold. The right keywords will result in your item being pulled up more often by ebay search, the wrong keyword would result in your item being virtually invisible!

eBay v. Craigslist: a tale of secret meetings, "obsessions"

Execs at Craigslist felt threatened by eBay and made calculated moves to reduce eBay's equity and decision-making powers in the company, according to eBay's newly-unsealed lawsuit (PDF). eBay says that Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster and founder Craig Newmark "breached their fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, and good faith by implementing certain self-dealing transactions... which were designed specifically to benefit themselves to the detriment of eBay." eBay is asking that the courts rescind or declare void the decisions made by Buckmaster and Newmark, and seeks recissory damages, attorney's fees, and other costs involved in filing the suit.

Craigslist Responds to EBay: Nyah, Nyah ...

Although Craigslist originally said that it couldn’t respond to the allegations made in eBay’s (EBAY) lawsuit against the company, it seems that Craig and/or Jim couldn’t help themselves: The Craigslist blog has a post up entitled “Kettles and Pots” which notes that many of the things eBay is accusing Craigslist of doing are things that eBay has either also done with its own shares, or has previously argued should be done with Craigslist shares. For example, the Craigslist blog argues that eBay has:

Illegal Ivory Trade Thrives on eBay Despite Year-Old "Ban"

June 5, 2008 — Despite eBay Inc.’s announcement exactly one year ago today of a global ban on all international trade in elephant ivory, investigators with IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare; www.ifaw.org) have found that auctions of illegal or potentially illegal ivory have skyrocketed on eBay in the U.S. Further, eBay Canada faces persistent challenges as U.S.-based sellers of ivory list their contraband on the Canadian site. This increase in North American eBay ivory auctions is in stark contrast to a large reduction of such activity in some foreign countries where eBay affiliates have severely restricted or banned the trade in ivory completely.

Optimism Remains Heavy on Downtrending eBay

Ahhh, the king of online shopping -- or maybe the Mecca of Internet auctioning -- is eBay (EBAY: View sentiment for EBAYsentiment, chart, options) . I am not going to act like I am a stranger to a website that is almost entirely devoted to the art of shopping (yes, art), but for those of you who may not be familiar with the eBay concept, it is an online marketplace for the sale of goods and services, online payment services, and online communications. It functions through more than just the popular eBay.com website; it also enables online commerce through kijiji, gumtree.com, loquo.com, opusforum, half.com, rent.com, and stubhub.com, among others. The communications segment of EBAY operates through Skype, which is software that allows users to make telephone calls over the Internet.
