Yes...yes...eBay has been foiled in Australia from requiring that payments to sellers from buyers in that country ONLY be made through Paypal. The general sense in the Australian eBay community of sellers is, from the conventional wisdom I've scanned, to be quite happy with the outcome.
If this policy had passed muster with the Australian government's financial PTB, Aussies would not be able to pay in cash or check or money order--only Paypal (which is a proprietary online financial system owned by eBay).
Thank gawd.
eBay having had its policy 'run out on the rails' bodes well for trying the same trick here in the US or other countries where it's presence is strong. Another fine example of a big loudmouth corporation getting a just come-uppance.
