Just received this from ebay Australia.
I'm glad they appreciate the feedback received from the community but
surprised, given that it's almost impossible to send them any!
I'd like to point out to them that I've never had a moment's trouble
with direct bank to bank transfer, and it's free. On the other hand
I've had my Paypal account looted and had to shut it down for several
days while reversing illicit transactions. Security? Bunkum.

Changes to eBay.com.au scheduled for 15 July are being postponed
until the review process with the Australian Competition and Consumer
Commission (ACCC) regarding its recent draft notice is complete. As
previously announced, eBay.com.au is continuing to work with the ACCC
to achieve an outcome that benefits buyers and sellers.
Changes that came into effect on 21 May 2008, requiring all sellers
to offer PayPal, will remain. These changes mean that all buyers have
the option of choosing PayPal, the safer payment method for shopping
on eBay.com.au. Payment methods that are currently permitted will
continue to be allowed on eBay.com.au until further notice.
Other recently introduced safety measures, such as PayPal Seller
Protection and increased PayPal Buyer Protection (now up to $20,000)
will also remain.
eBay regrets any ongoing uncertainty that this further delay may
cause and will advise you of any future plans for implementation
following the ACCC process.
As always, eBay appreciates the feedback received from the Community
and will use this input to consider where we can make improvements
that benefit both buyers and sellers.
eBay remains committed to improving safety and we will continue to
look for ways to improve the shopping experience for buyers which
will subsequently benefit both sellers and eBay.
Please note that some of our onsite communications may still refer to
changes taking place on 15 July 2008. These communications are in the
process of being updated.
