Title: eBay/PayPal split
Post by: Fulvio on October 01, 2014, 01:28:50 PM
Gotta admit I didn't see this coming...

Love the last paragraph though:

"Handling almost 20 per cent of the world's online transactions, PayPal is suddenly threatened by Apple's Apple Pay – currently only available in the USA and only via iPhone 6, and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Dogecoin, offering faster, cheaper and less regulated ways of transferring electronic funds."

Writing's on the wall, hopefully. We've been ripped off by them long enough.

There will be more of this in the years ahead as Federal Govt's unite to force the Multinationals to pay(more) Tax. Alibaba is the main concern for Ebay,finally there is going to be a powerful competitor.
