The head of eBay Australia is leaving the company and will be replaced by eBay Director Deborah Sharkey, who has been named Managing Director of eBay Australia and New Zealand Pty Ltd. Simon Smith, whose title was Vice President, headed up the Australian operations for eight years. He was at the center of the controversy when eBay Australia announced earlier this year it was moving to a PayPal-only policy, a move the government rejected.
