I know we don't talk about business stuff very often on the board, but we all have a somewhat vested if not indirect interest in what happens with Ebay and paypal as it is quite often a necessary evil when it comes to collecting toys.

I assume everyone knows that Ebay is officially going to split off from paypal now...

I'm curious about the boards thoughts? Or does it even matter?

Maybe what it could do is somewhat relinquish the stranglehold borderline monopoly that Ebay and paypal have in unison...

A lot of analysts are thinking that the announcement comes in the shadow if all the APPLEPAY hoopla.

What say you guys dear LRGers?

(And if you don't give a shit - feel free to express that too lol...)

Paypal will be fine until Applepay ditches the you need an Apple product to Applepay. Once they implement a truly universal mobile paying system that doesn't restrict a user to solely use their products then that would be a time for Paypal to worry. Also the split between ebay and Paypal is for the interest of ebay more than Paypal. ebay knows their are more pay systems out their and they don't want to limit potential ebay users from using their auction service because of only allowing Paypal. ebay can see the importance of the freedom of choice when using a pay system, let's see if Apple can as well.

Jesse - to answer your question... yes.

 

Fantomcore - well put.  I suspect that Apple will eventually move cross platform, similar to itunes it will be a soley apple experience and then move out broadly to other platforms.  I like the idea that Ebay is looking out more for it's OWN interests and not Paypal's because I think that could potentially lead to benefits for the sellers and buyers.

 

Sithwiz - I believe you are doing the 24 hour figure thing with Ironmask right?  NOW you have you inspiration for your mini-figs!!!  EBay vs Paypal vs Apple figs!!!

Hey I'm open to whatever is cheapest and most secure... So if online transactions are less expensive through APay vs Paypal... Then away I go!

Of course, security does seem to be an issue w/ Apple so maybe not?

So Applepay is such a huge topic in the news and discussion circles now, but when I was trying to express to people how cool the NFC/Google Wallet functionality was on my Nexus less than one shit was given. I had a friend who watched me buy a soda by tapping my phone against a vending machine like two years ago who now won't stop talking about what a revolutionary concept Applepay is. The success of Apple's business model amazes me.

As long as I can still use PayPal then I don't care what EBay does. I just want a quick way to make transactions and PayPal does that for me when dealing with items not in person

It's just the massive marketing machine...

I was surprised that the google wallet option didn't take off more. I remember it being a HUGE deal when it launched.

So, if you combine the tapping of an NFC chip to pay for something, with the Christian End Time theory that we'll all have NFC chips in our right hands or foreheads, does that mean you'll have to head-butt the order taker at McDonalds to pay for your meal?

That will be how you transfer funds between accounts.

A few years ago there was a stupid rap music video with Nelly where he swiped his credit card on(or i suppose in)some strippers ass and he got all kinds of bad publicity for it.

 

Little did they know...

Only if you're paying with a blood sacrifice to the dark lord?

Had to watch every Nelly video just once to see if that stupid band-aid on his face ever came off.

You young whippersnappers and your horses! Back in my day we saddled up alligators and rode them around town through the snow and gun fire. And we were happy with that.
