eBay Amerika faseert contant geld uit als middel om transacties af te ronden. Dat blijkt uit een net gepubliceerde mededeling op het prikbord:

“(…) So starting in late October, 2008, we are moving to 100% electronic payments – credit cards, ProPay, or PayPal. (…) As part of this move, checks and money orders will no longer be accepted on eBay, although buyers can still use these payment methods for item pick-up, at the seller’s discretion. (…)”

Lauren Weinstein becommentarieert:

“(…) It was also mentioned that buyers and sellers who meet in person to consummate a transaction would still be free to use whatever payment means they wished — though in my view this is a highly atypical situation for most eBay users, and it seems clear that eBay will be monitoring transactions carefully to to avoid abuse of this “loophole” in the otherwise rather dogmatic electronic payments regime being implemented. (…)”

En volgens een andere Amerikaanse maatregel moet Paypal aan de overheid gaan vertellen wie per jaar meer dan 200 transacties uitvoert óf meer dan 20.000 dollar aan betaalvolume genereert.
