Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
”On occasions, I have also made purchases from remote suppliers and I have been requested to make payment via Money Order.
“I have always believed, as I am sure my customers believed, that it is
an extremely safe way to transact as the person presenting a Money
Order issued for more than $20 must identify himself to Australia Post
staff by producing a current driver's licence, pension card, credit
card or similar document in the payee's name and bearing the payee's
signature or photograph.
“Furthermore, I understand that when a Money Order has been crossed
with two traverse parallel lines payment of the order shall not be made
unless the order is presented for payment through a bank of Australia.
“Finally, where a Money Order has been lost or destroyed, a replacement
order can be issued by producing the counterfoil issued with the order
or giving details of the serial number of the order or of the amount,
date, office of issue and, where available, any payee's name inserted
in the order at the time of issue or loss..
“eBay however, has been arguing that PayPal is the 'safest' transaction
product, implying that all other transactors are unsafe by comparison,
and they continue to do so.
“This concerns me as a long standing customer of Australia Post, as it
gives the impression that established transactors such as Australia
Post, do not offer equal security measures for it's customers.
“In a recent decision by the ACCC (see Ref.1 Clause 5.1.7.3)
it did not support eBay's view, noting that: "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."
