I've just seen this hit-the-point
review (in Chinese, by Earl Zhang) on recently exposed Google's strategy to compete with Paypal. I know Ebay had its own online payment system (BillPoint), but 50%+ of ebay customers then loved using Paypal. That was why Ebay decided to give up its own system and acquired Paypal in 2002. Earl's point reminds me that small business owners at Ebay could also be the drivers behind.
What a wonderful two-side-driven business model Paypal is!
