14 May 08 - Ebay Tests PayPal Only Site on the Aussies
Ecommerce giant Ebay has caused yet more consternation among its users with the announcement that its Australian site will only be taking payments using PayPal as of next month. From 21st May all listings must offer a PayPal option, and on 17th June all online transactions must be completed using PayPal in one form or another. Users fear this could be the beginnings of a push to make the ecommerce website PayPal only in countries worldwide.
Speaking to the Ecommerce Times, Ebay spokesperson Nichola Sharpe tried to allay the fears of users in the USA, saying that "In the US, we are not mulling, planning or otherwise seriously considering a move to PayPal-only. There are US market-specific reasons why PayPal-only is something we simply cannot do in the US”.
Users, and especially sellers, will be sceptical. The PayPal only development follows hot on the heels of Ebay’s revision of the feedback system across their entire website, which has outraged sellers. From the 15th May sellers will only be able to leave positive feedback about customers, which many feel will leave sellers unable to warn others about unscrupulous buyers.

06 May 2008 - New Online Marketplace Allows “E-Haggling”
A new ecommerce website was launched this week that allows buyers to barter in real time. Fididel.com has taken the Ebay-style auction site to the next level, giving buyers and sellers the opportunity to settle on an appropriate price for a product on the spot.
Hal Wendel, CEO of the company, explained his reasons for going beyond the auctioning model: “There's no mechanism [on Ebay] for the buyer to do a knock-knock, tell the seller it's $2 too much, so they go elsewhere, when usually the seller will take that price to make a sale”. Using Fididel’s new ecommerce technology they can barter over pricing in a real time “negotiation screen”.
They have also catered for the fact that obviously you won’t be around to barter 24 hours a day, by giving other trained sellers the ability to sell your goods on your behalf. This community of sellers, or “Fididelers”, will all have to gain qualifications from “Fididel University” to ensure their negotiations are in the seller’s best interests.
Sellers upload their inventory with an asking price and a reserve price for each item. Fididel ask for no listing fees (the charge that has so riled users of Ebay), but take a cut of each sale based on a sliding scale.
The site is still undergoing testing, but is expected to start retailing in the next 3 months.
