Digi, looking at this from a slightly different angle, at the moment eBay insists on there being at least one safe payment method - ie Paypal or merchant banking facilities.

Now I imagine that since they don't disallow the merchant banking side of it, how can they justify forcing sellers not to offer Paypal and merchant banking if they offer to use the new system as well - though thinking about it they did disallow Paymate to be used...

Hmmm, sucessfully shot down my own argument there........................
