There is a five year agreement in place between PayPal and eBay that will keep everything operating pretty much as it has been. Once that contract is up, THEN you will probably see some changes as both companies implement strategies they feel will be most beneficial to them. But for right now, I don't expect that anyone will notice any difference. | This.
For some time, they will just focus on making sure that everything runs as smooth as possible and that customers don't notice the split. I mean, if they split and service standards go down, people will start talking more about the split. If they keep everything operating as it is now, then it'll be yesterdays news at some point.
When the split becomes yesterdays news, thats when we are to expect subtle changes. Most likely it'll be so small changes that most people have time to adjust, because with companies like eBay and PP, you can't really rebrand the whole thing and go for a 180 change- Everything has to be subtle and they need time to analyze the feedback and their own performance during the change.
I'm rather chilled at the moment, I'll just cross the bridges when I get there and I hope that the bridges that I burn light the way in the future   |
