The big news last week was how Paypal allows US merchant to accept Bitcoin as a payment method thanks to Paypal Payment Hub. This story may very well take an interesting twist, as there might be plans to split eBay and Paypal into two different companies.
Earlier today, eBay’s board of directors and CEO revealed their intentions to split the marketplace business into separately traded public companies by the middle of next year. This plan is in stark contrast with arguments we have heard all year on why it is best to keep eBay and Paypal are best left together as one company.
