According to a recent announcement by on-line auctions provider eBay, the option to accept payments via PayPal service will be mandatory on sellers from April 2008, with the exception of auctions relating directly to the sale of motor vehicles. The announcement (by eBay) suggests that the move will help improve confidence as well as further reducing the limited amounts of fraud which occur on some types of transaction. Sellers with low feedback, or who list specific items, such as computer software are already required to accept payment via PayPal. Under the new policy, sellers will however still be able to accept payments via other services, provided they are on eBay's approved list. Google Checkout ( a competitor to PayPal in respect of retail payment services ) is notable by its absence from this list of approvals .
