Minor point... but PayPal was very popular way before eBay purchased them.  They had a great referral program (sign up, get $$ back, sign up your friends, get more $$$ back) and the viral marketing was incredible. So that explains why eBay ponied up (according to this article) 1.5 Billion for the service. |

Ya, I know they were popular, but I think eBay took them from good to great. I understand what you are saying, I just think eBay had a pretty significant affect.

I was just doing some stuff with my PayPal account and noticed their new referral program. You can "earn up to $1000" by refering a new merchant account. First you have to understand that a merchant account is not a "regular" Joe or Jane User, it's (as far as I can tell) designed for an online business. Next, how do you earn the $1000?
By getting paid 0.5% of the new merchant's PayPal sales over the next 12 months. Note that the number is zero-point-five percent, which (in real numbers) is 0.005. So in order to get the full $1000 your referral would have to push $200,000  in sales through PayPal. Trust me, if I know anyone with a business that does $200,000 in online sales annually, they're not using PayPal.
[Edit - bah, my spelling is terrible. ]

Ya, thats an excellent point Dave. I never quite did the math, but you are right, that the person wouldn't be using PayPal. The only exception is if you somehow referred a major online store, such as a domain register, who accepts PayPal, but even so, something is better than nothing

ebay bought paypal a year or more ago. It was independent before that.
There was a paypal class action suit that I was notified about several months ago. The result.....I don't know other then it was in northern California.
I did not like the paypal experience.
Costco has service? hmmmm |

E-gold charged lower fees,
Paypal merchant will have to take the risk of getting charback.
E-gold accepted almost everywhere.
Paypal has better security prevention.
Pros and cons depedning on what you are using the e-currency for |

Yeah like some of you said paypal can really scam you with charge backs.
Plus, they don't respond to you very well. There is always two sied to a story and they I think pick the side that benefits them. |
