I wondered how long it would be before this happened. eBay should have
bought them long ago. Didn't PayPal just go public a few months back? $1.5
billion is quite a sum. The people at PayPal should be very proud. I'm going
to go beat my head against the wall as I consider why I didn't buy stock in
eBay a few years ago.

Good for the folks at PayPal, but this does not bode well for PayPal
customers if eBay's history of trying to wring profits out of it's
customers in creative ways is any indication. It also does nothing for
competition.
This sucks.
