eBay's purchase of PayPal - GoFuckYourself.com

iBill-Cathy · 07-09-2002, 06:27 AM

All-As many of you heard yesterday, eBay annouced the purchase of PayPal. In that announcement they stated they would be getting out of gambling. We believe that they will also be walking away from the adult business.

I believe that was her point

payrollpete · 07-09-2002, 09:27 AM

its funny that an ibill rep has to give their opinion on that though

playa · 07-09-2002, 09:30 AM

they'll be stupid to get out of the adult business,,,

just ask yahoo.com what happened

Wizzo · 07-09-2002, 09:37 AM

Some of you guys, need to chill out a little bit....You try to play the asshole and come off looking idiots.

Cathy brings a topic about paypal deal that might be important to some people here, I know alot of adult webmasters who get paid via paypal and might need to find another way...

FlyingIguana · 07-09-2002, 09:41 AM

its definately possible. but they need to focus on the bottom line. so i highly doubt they will get out of the adult side of the business.

if ebay's running paypal they'll need all the revenue they can get. ebay's track record so far has been a joke with online payment companies. hopefully they learned their lesson the first time.

payrollpete · 07-09-2002, 09:41 AM

there was nothing in their release that said getting out of adult, or anything else, except gambling... ibill cathy might be trying to scare people out of paypal proccessing or whatever and to come to ibill, you don't know their master plan wizzo

when you open your mouth and give an opinion, your opening up yourself for criticism

The people bitching in this thread probably don't have paypal debit cards and use them daily to withdraw hundreds of dollars in cash from smut sales.

Its gonna fucking suck when ebay fucks up paypal.

payrollpete · 07-09-2002, 09:51 AM

"paypal debit cards and use them daily to withdraw hundreds of dollars"

thats an efficient way of doing business hehe

i bet it makes the accounting, or tax reporting, easy...haaaaaahahahaha

BJ · 07-09-2002, 09:53 AM

Ebay is run by a woman who has publicly stated opposition to the online adult industry. I will try to fetch a link, I remeber her in an interview on cnbc mentioning this.

payrollpete · 07-09-2002, 09:56 AM

ebay has a board of directors

its going to take more then a voice of 1 person to change their views of the adult industry and what action they want to take about it

cherrylula · 07-09-2002, 10:04 AM

I have always stood by my belief that because the internet is real time, and when a surfer joins one of my sites his money is gone in real time, that the fucking green should be in my hot little hands.... IN REALTIME.

I can take my paypal debit card and before a guy even pops his load, I have his membership money in my pocket from the nearest atm machine. This is the closest I have gotten to getting payed real time, and it kicks ass. I have no doubt ebay will fuck this up big time.

Big corporate assholes who stand up against porn are usually the same people who got rich from it, and try to pretend otherwise.

eRock · 07-09-2002, 10:04 AM

Money talks...and people listen.

payrollpete · 07-09-2002, 10:06 AM

i like the way the bank manager looks at me when i deposit a $40,000 cheque

you feel accomplishment

running out to the atm machine to debit $100 here and there of joins "REAL TIME" isn't very thrilling...

payrollpete · 07-09-2002, 10:07 AM

its harder to keep track of your money via small withdrawls then it is in big chunks.

unles syou run home to go put it in a jar

B40 · 07-09-2002, 11:06 AM

BJ · 07-09-2002, 11:09 AM
