Oh no. Just when buyers are used to and basically happy with one aspect of eBay. I shudder to think what the geniuses would turn to next. Bartering chickens?  |

Unbelievable. It took years to get people comfortable enough to trust Paypal.

That will be strange. I admit when Paypal first rolled out I didn't like it. However, it has really become my right hand "business" man. I use it for more than just Ebay and will continue to. I am hoping Ebay at least does not get rid of Paypal.

I'm not surprised at the idea of eBay wanting their own checkout/payment platform, they can keep more of the profits. I just hope sellers won't be forced to use just that and not have the option to use PP. I suspect the corporate talking heads are thinking buyers won't care, but I think they will, and I think experienced eBay buyers may be leery of an eBay payment platform at first.

If they forbid PP it will be the end of the end, the final nail, the other shoe.

I agree with fashion. I don't think buyers are going to leap at the chance to switch from Paypal to some new startup that ebay throws out there.
I use Paypal for as many other online transactions as I can. If an online merchant offers Paypal, I jump on it.

Sounds like way too many "disruptive innovations" for JQ Public to stomach. WHY would eBay feel the need to take on both Paypal AND ApplePay? IMHO, they're having a problem with customer retention... they should think twice before rocking the boat any more.

I agree, Sandra. Problem is, eBay corporate is too busy trying to please Wall Street.
