eBay buyers looking for protection
It looks like the seventh largest eBay Australia store has gone bust and the owner has done a runner to China. Ashes Moses from The Age reports "Over 450 eBay users who bought items from the seller - often at a price seemingly below cost - have left the company negative feedback on the website in the last 30 days."
"Those who paid for items using PayPal, which is owned by eBay, will be entitled to refunds through a new fund set up specifically to deal with this incident, PayPal managing director Andrew Pipolo said."
When added in contrast with the recent eBay, PayPal & ACCC issues the July 3rd statement from eBay will need to reassure the Australian eBay community that they are in fact:-
"eBay’s goal has always been to provide members with a safer experience. Under the current circumstances, we will continue to look for ways to do that while still offering a variety of payment choices."

Thanks for the heads up. I've only bought a few lower cost photo items through eBay.
