You also need to email this organisation, that is the list of their contacts, http://www.privacy.org.au/About/Contacts.html

Hi, thanks for that. When I was speaking to the FSO they gave me the number of the privacy commissioner as they agreed it is a huge breach as well.

My understanding is if the complaint is upheld, they will get the fine

Try this one and see how you go - tell Paypal and or Ebay that the Dept of Fair Trading will gladly contact them to sort out problems like this! You may even care to mention the Ombudsman - A Current Affair - and maybe your local MP!! good luck in all this stupidity

Maybe you should have read the entire thread before commenting, then you would know that the Ombudsman is already involved. Fair Trading don't want to know, nor does the ACCC.

There has been mention in other threads regarding going to ACA, but I'm not sure if that has eventuated for anyone yet.

Once the buyer has the goods, it is no longer their money, it is the sellers money!

Always good to file complaints with as many government departments as you can AND write letters to the relevant Minister and MPs.

The broader the awareness of any unacceptable practice such as this the better. Just because departments or authorities do not act publicly does not by any means mean they are not monitoring issues or doing behind the scenes investigation.
