No mention of “subject to our accepted payments policy”. Could open the door for some of the more cantankerous oz members to start listing with all sorts of bizarre payment options. 😉
*permitted* methods, Steve: they should have linked the accepted payments policy for clarity, but I don’t think we’ll see them allowing Google Checkout any time soon 😀
