Abstract
This article analyses the reasons why eBay's April 2008 attempt to force its Members to only use Pay Pal for their auction transactions failed to gain approval from the
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. It describes and analyses the complex interplay between eBay's marketplace, Australian Competition law and
Australian Payments Systems law to determine why eBay was unsuccessful when it had been so successful in the past in imposing changes on its Members. It provides
a guide to Members in countries outside of Australia on one method to challenge eBay's dominance and a salutary lesson on the complexity of Internet regulation.
