PayPal has seen down times in recent years as well, one blow was inflicted when eBay announced its new payment partner at the beginning of this year, PayPal suffered a decline in share price, but PayPal’s efforts for Global seller program, its debit/credit ATM card offerings and PayPal business offerings were enough to hold it.
PayPal is still a very much popular and preferred payment method for B2B and B2C transactions especially digital payments, E-commerce, and E-services.
