The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has issued a
draft notice proposing to revoke an exclusive dealing notification lodged by eBay
International A.G. under section 47 Trade Practices Act. Under the notification, eBay
proposes to mandate the use of PayPal for almost all transactions on
the eBay site.

"The ACCC is concerned that the notified conduct will allow eBay to
use its market power in the supply of online marketplaces to
substantially lessen competition in the market in which PayPal
operates," ACCC Chairman, Mr Graeme Samuel said.

eBay and interested parties now have time to lodge submissions in
response to the draft notice, before the ACCC decides whether to issue
a final notice revoking the notification.

UPDATE: eBay withdraws ACCC notice
