|
|
eBay's Safe Payments Policy got a lot of attention in the press last week when the auction site banned Google's new checkout service. But an incident has at least one seller wondering how closely the list of prohibited services was vetted by eBay.
Bob Kerstein, CEO of Scripophily.com, said the past week "has been hell" for his company, which was included in media reports as being banned by eBay. "We're not a payment service," said Kerstein, and feels the media attention has damaged his company's reputation.
eBay added Scripophily.com on its list of banned online payment services last week (http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/accepted-payments-policy.html). One blog published eBay's list of prohibited payment services and said of them, "All of these services have been banned due to being unsafe for eBay buyers, that they are in some way poorly designed or secured and thus aid fraud" (http://digbig.com/4kxef). Major news outlets covered news of eBay's policy updates because of the ban on Google Checkout, widely seen as a competitor to eBay's own PayPal service.
