The submission itself acknowledges that "it may be argued" that it may 
breach exclusive dealing provisions. Now if eBay's representatives lodge 
a (pre-emptive) submission acknowledging the potential breach of the TPA 
who should I believe, eBay's lawyers or a troll?

And the ACCC can fine them. The penalties for breach of exclusive 
trading are severe: $10m or 10%, the greater of. In the case of Fila, 
the directors declared bankruptcy, so they are going after them 
personally. Watch what happens when the sleepy banks finally become 
aware of what eay is claimin. Even if they miss the significance of eBay 
getting their way with an exclusive dealing exemption they will not miss 
the op****tunity to halt anyone who claims that their payment systems are 
unsafe.
