au: Clerical error exposes Google as anonymous eBay critic

Posted in: Internet Use/New Technologies at 31/05/2008 22:51

The Australian competition watchdog has accidentally revealed Google as the anonymous source of a submission that is highly critical of eBay's proposal to force its users onto the PayPal payments system.

The submission in question is a 38-page critique of the eBay plan which it calls "anti-competitive", arguing that there would be no net public benefit if eBay were given the green light to proceed.
