Tell us what you think.

Your thoughts are going to be interesting given you are based in China.

I was interested in peoples opinions on this myself however I have been employed for a major bank when they 'split' and you saw very little difference internally.

The thing is, they have no reason to decrease their linking associations so in my opinion, as stealthers we will see very little difference when done purely for financial reasons as it is here.

This was my thought too, wonder if ebay will now come up with their own payment gateway.

Not sure they would bother.

I imagine at the moment they are hashing out details.

Early days and we might have to wait for more info.

Bear in mind the buyer is paypal brain-washed.

This decision may have been due to the launch of Apples payment system. If hardcore apple users are willing to line up overnight for a phone, i dont think it will take too much convincing to switch to their payment system, especially if its a feature on their iphones/ipads.

In that regard, this could mean millions of people switching over and becoming the biggest threat to Paypal. It could also mean that Ebay sellers switching as a customer demands shifts.

On a personal level, it doesnt affect me too much as a seller and Paypal's presence in China is largely nonexistent compared to Alipay (which in my opinion is so much better).

Only time will tell i guess....

Maybe it will allow users to accept other payment methods like crypto-currency, ie bitcoin ect, I have often pondered sticking my bitcoin barcode on my auctions but after reading t's&c's its not allowed, not worth risking a account i didnt feel.

I agree. Both companies are worth more independently rather than together.
