HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The Internet's most popular auction site may say goodbye to credit cards payments, and a web site that could replace your cable box.

Internet auctioneer eBay is exploring whether to make customers use only the on-line payment service pay pal.

A pay pal-only rule takes effect next month in Australia: a designated test market and that government is now looking at whether it violates anti-trust laws.

EBay hasn't said whether it will institute the policy in the U.S. and other countries, but claims it wants to reduce disputes and restore trust in its marketplace with a pay pal-only plan.

Critics contend pay pal sometimes costs more and the company is simply wanting to fatten the bottom line.

Papa John's Pizza has topped the one-billion-dollar milestone off Internet pizza sales alone.

The nation's third-largest pizza delivery chain said Internet sales have increased at an average of 50 percent a year over the last seven years.

Other chains are putting its own twist on on-line ordering with Dominos introducing "pizza tracker" which lets customers keep tabs on the progress of their orders.

Domino’s also lets customers place orders from web-enabled devices. They claim giving them a big bump in the growing on-line business.

Finally, don't forget about Pizza hut.com. Their site is very easy to use. Just enter your home address, and then customize your order with just the click of a mouse, and if you're looking for an iphone as a graduation present or otherwise, you're out of luck.

Apple says its on-line stores in the U.S. and Britain are sold out.

This comes as rumors continue to fly about Apple's possible release of a next
Generation iphone with higher Internet speeds.

Apple has sold 5.4 million iphones so far, and is looking to sell ten million by the end of the year.
