Stripe is buying PP
 

Apparently stripe that's worth 3x of PP is buying PP.....


Not sure what will happen to PP and people using pp for eBay moving forward

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

Stocks slide again after Stripe said they aren't interested in a Paypal takeover

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

There are still countries allowing direct Paypal payments on eBay?
Thought that all ended years ago, tbh.

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

You can pay with Paypal on Ebay, but AFAIK there are no countries that you can receive money to PP

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

That's what I thought. So there won't be any noticeable difference, if this merger does go through. Part of the ongoing pattern of megacorps consolidating everything.


I have a stripe account and I have a Paypal account. They're already providing exactly the same service with comparable rates. So no big surprise to me if these two companies do merge.. and Square will probably be added into the mix next.

Paypal said it has no interest in selling itself,and is looking into some defense tactic.
Paypal may become like coke,xerox,google.why should it sell itself?
Lets google it,how about a coke>let me xerox you a copy,
I will paypal you !
It is applying to become a bank and offers small business loan and saving accounts .

I think there is one country you can.

One would think it would be the Carribean countries or Philipines,??

No,PAYPAL said it is not for sale and looking into defense tactic if anyone tries!

lets make a bet,how much do you want to bet on?

If PayPal can’t use that time to articulate a clear message forward, the industry needs to prepare for an acquisition potentially as influential as Capital One’s Discover deal.

-----
Discover never make it big,it is like Kohl compared to WMT AND TGT.
I have a Discover card,I dont remember where I placed it.
BTW,what has Capital One done to improve the acceptance of Discover card?

I am referring to the statement

--------------------------------------------
I bet anyone $10K Paypal would fight any anti takeover !
Remember Pacc man defense !

Interesting article on BLOCK yesterday WSJ,it hosted a party last September,costing JACK Dorsey $65millions.for 8,000 workforce,now it is laying off 4000!
It said Square is competing with Toast and Shopify while Cash App competes with Venmo and Apple.
$65 millions,not a TYPO!

Aren;t Stripe,Square and Cash APP are all owned by Dorsey (Block)?
I am still waiting for someone to enlighten me on what Capital one did to Discover card?

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

which one? :welcome;

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

I haven't seen an eb platform that lets sellers get paid via pp - buyers can still use pp to pay for things on eb

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

Don'y pay too much attention to Agent, she created her own country in her own head similar to Narnia where Ebay and Paypal are still together.

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

I thought UK still uses PP? I guess not eh.

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

Stripe cancelled buying PP?

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

Not cancelled - seems like still potentially on the table

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

If not now, they'll merge some way or another in the next few years. I'd bet a few dollars on it.


It'll be a stripe, square, paypal megamerger.. similar to what's been happening to all of the TV networks and movie production companies. Coinbase will most likely become involved at some point as well.

Feels like a separate thread discussion...

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

There you go :thumb: high end betting

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

Feels like separate thread not related to Stripe discussion?

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

So it's likely but not for sure? Seems like more consolidation is in the works...

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

Seems unlikely given the current times and info

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

That's not a good thing to happen......

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

I dont think you understand financial regulations,Paramount.Discovery are not in the banking business !

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

Wow, crazy move tbf, didn't see that one coming.

Wonder what impact this will have on stealth accounts. Hopefully, it does not become more difficult.

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

I would think it would be easier for stealth accounts,there are more loopholes !

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

Loopholes are shrinking though...

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

If Squire buys Paypal,some of the workers will leave .

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

Define this concept of "workers" you speak of :FF: jokes

Re: Stripe is buying PP
 

That's hardly "working" :FF:
