5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
“Later in the week the group again led their peers to write en-masse, but on this occasion to their respective banks, to air concerns over eBay’s public statements that PayPal is the safest product in the EFT marketplace, implying that all other EFT transactions – and in particular Direct Deposit – are unsafe by comparison. “On the basis that the ACCC concluded in its draft Notice: "The evidence available does not support the view that PayPal is the most secure method of payment or offers the best service for all transactions", eBay members sought reassurance from their banks that eBay’s assertions are incorrect and that Direct Deposit is a safe transaction method. “This week the group will launch a further series of initiatives. Mr Tony Green, the group’s spokesman on legal matters, announced today that “… as eBay’s response to member’s legitimate concerns is woefully inadequate it is now time to commence our next offensive which will be to seek remedies through the courts”. “Mr Green went on to say ”eBay’s recalcitrant behaviour has pushed us to the point that we must now use the legal system to bring eBay into line with decent trading practices.” “Mr Green said, “In a conference last night the group decided unanimously that it would use legal due process to stop eBay from destroying its own site and, in the process of this, destroying the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of loyal eBay members”. He added, “We are eBay’s customers and to date they have refused to listen to us. eBay has left us no alternative than to appeal to the courts to right the wrongs that eBay has forced upon us.” “In anticipation of this offensive the group has had a team of researchers looking at legal precedents, similar legal actions and the various legal alternatives available to it. “We discussed several options available to us in prosecuting these actions,” said Mr Green “… and the possibility of a major legal firm doing the work on a no win no fee contingency basis is being examined.” Please read to page 3 for the rest of the eBay rebels’ media statement: |
