eBay acquires German ‘purchase-on-invoice’ technology company BillSAFE

As far as making/saving $ and eBay goes, forget the stock and use the website. Use a site like Ebuyersedge.com to set up saved searches. You get an e-mail whenever a matching item is newly listed. Especially good for "Buy It Now"s that are priced right. Try a misspelling search using a site like Typojoe.com to hopefully find some great deals with items that have main key words misspelled in the title. Other interested buyers might not ever see them. If you see an auction that you want to bid on, use a sniping service such as Hidbid.com to place your bid for you. It'll bid in the last few seconds, helping you to save money and avoid shill bidding.

nice information thanks for this.

"PayPal / eBay... claims that purchase on invoice is already the most popular form of payment in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands." Dream on JD... Study Sees PayPal Adoption Down Among Multi-Channel Merchants. “Twenty-two percent of EPIS merchants who had accepted PayPal on their own websites and off-eBay stores in October 2010 stopped accepting PayPal as a payment method on those sites in October 2011. “There were 19% more merchants who accepted credit cards on their own websites and stores in October 2011 than in October 2010.”. http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y11/m11/i21/s02 Even better, Visa is to launch its new online payments gateway “V.me” next year. The idea is similar to that offered by PayPal: you upload details of your payment cards to Visa—even if they're not Visa-branded—and Visa will process the payment without revealing your card details to the merchant. At least off-eBay online merchants will at last be able to free themselves from the parasitic, most unprofessional, unscrupulous and “clunky” PreyPal. And, undoubtedly, PreyPal will then atrophy back to it’s mandated use on the eBafia marketplace only, from whence, without its mandated use thereon, PreyPal would never have had the success that it has had. But, be in no doubt, except for its mandated use on whatever will be by then left of the Donahoe-stagnated eBay Marketplace, the clunky PreyPal will elsewhere be quickly buried by Visa’s professional offering, “V.me”, once it is up and running in 2012. So, no more underpinning of eBay’s sagging bottom line by the clunky PreyPal. What will the “eBafia Don” do then? Maybe, if Mittless Romney wins the GOP nomination we can hope that he will pick as his running mate his fellow “Pain from Bain”, the headless turkey, John Donahoe. Donahoe's nearing the completion of his destruction of the eBay marketplace and so he should soon be looking for an even bigger challenge.

nice job but still quite sad German entrepreneurs too often sell out too quickly.... strategic investors are useful in the beginning but bite you in the back in the long run...

PayPal gearing up for Klarna's German invasion with DST cannonballs :) Agree on strategic investors, slippery slide not to end up being their bitch.
