| I got my 300mm L lens from ebay, for $900 USD. I don't know if you call that a good price or not, but it's a LOAD cheaper than I could find it anywhere in Australia. |

most deals are to be had for people who are outside the United States actually.
You have such a low price on anything electronic or specialized in general that it only makes sense in a way that ebay would barely manage to offer cheaper prices. |

yeah im aware. i remember when i was on IRC that my oz and brit friends would bitch and moan cause some piece of hardware that was $100usd here is approximately $200usd there. they were very envious in that respect. |

ebay australia is about to launch a policy that payment can only be made with paypal or COD, no bank transfers. You can be pretty sure that they're testing this policy out in a backwater like oz first before trying it on in bigger markets.
the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) is investigating it for anti-competitive practices, but they've been proven a pretty ineffective watchdog in many areas lately

Yeah, but a lot of people don't want to use paypal, and so won't be purchasing on ebay at all. No people purchasing means no money for ebay. |

i dont disagree. i personally hate paypal as its too restricting, doesnt have enough oversight, and can sieze peoples funds for no reason. |
