Stripe is buying PP

[SaiJin]

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

[sax4]

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

[phaz0rz]

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

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

[phaz0rz]

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?

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.

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...

Feels like separate thread not related to Stripe discussion?

[Automasters]

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

Seems unlikely given the current times and info

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