PayPal is an e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to be made through the Internet.
It serves as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods such as cheques and money orders.
PayPal performs payment processing for online vendors, auction sites, and other corporate users, for which it charges a fee.
In October 2002, PayPal became a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay. Their corporate headquarters are in San Jose, California, at eBay's North First Street satellite office campus.
The company also has significant operations in Omaha, Nebraska; Dublin, Ireland; and Berlin, Germany.
PayPal account holders must be 18 or over with a debit/credit card or bank account and an e-mail address.
