Some online companies have done very well in 2010. Among them Apple, Google and Facebook are at the top and Amazon has set the bar extremely high in e-commerce. PayPal, owned by eBay, is the little brother that has dragged its feet in almost all e-commerce sites and seemingly has stayed in the background. But it’s not the little brother anymore. It has been reported that in the third quarter of 2010, PayPal accounted for 37% of eBay’s overall revenue.
PayPal’s revenue has increased 22% in the last year while revenue from eBay’s retail operations has increased by just 3%. With the coming of mobile payments in full force and erupting into a multi-billion dollar industry in the next few years, finance analysts predict that PayPal‘s revenue will outperform those from eBay’s marketplace by 2014.
PayPal has turned out to be extremely accessible partner for anyone who operates an online business. The company recently announced a few new products to facilitate payments in the mobile and other platforms that no webmasters should avoid. Along with the new ones, a description of some of the old features is given below as well:
