Payments Net Transaction Revenues

Payments net transaction revenues increased $320.7 million, or 14%, in 2009 compared to 2008. The increase was due primarily to net TPV growth of 19% in 2009 compared to 2008, partially offset by lower take rates due primarily to a shift in merchant mix. The increase in net TPV during 2009 was due primarily to growth in consumer and merchant adoption of PayPal and the inclusion of Bill Me Later (acquired November 2008). Our Merchant Services net TPV experienced 34% growth during 2009 compared to 2008 and represented 55% of PayPal’s net TPV. The increase in our Merchant Services business was due primarily to an increase in PayPal’s revenue from its existing customer base of merchants as well as an increase in the number of online merchants offering PayPal as a payment option.

Payments net transaction revenues increased $482.0 million, or 26%, in 2008 compared to 2007. This increase was consistent with Payments’ year-over-year increase in net TPV of 27%. Payments net transaction revenues increased due primarily to growth in our Merchant Services business and the increase in PayPal’s penetration of eBay Marketplaces GMV. Our Merchant Services net TPV experienced 49% year-over-year growth in 2008, representing 49% of PayPal’s net TPV. The increase in our Merchant Services business resulted from a greater number of online merchants, both domestically and internationally, adding PayPal as a payment option.

Payments net transaction revenues earned internationally totaled $1.2 billion in 2009, $1.0 billion in 2008, and $0.8 billion in 2007, representing 46%, 44% and 42% of total Payments net transaction revenues, respectively. International growth in our Payments segment continues to benefit from an increase in PayPal’s revenue from its existing customer base of merchants and an increase in the number of online merchants offering PayPal as a payment option as well as an increase in cross-border payments, which typically generate larger fees.

Payments Net Transaction Revenues

Payments net transaction revenues increased $45.1 million, or 8%, during the first quarter of 2009, compared to the same period of the prior year, which is consistent with our increase in net TPV of 10% during the same period. Payments net transaction revenues increased due primarily to growth in our Merchant Services business. The continued increase in PayPal penetration on eBay partially offset the negative impact of lower GMV on revenue. Our Merchant Services net TPV experienced 26% growth during the first quarter of 2009, compared to the same period of the prior year and represented 53% of PayPal’s net TPV during the first quarter of 2009. The increase in our Merchant Services business is due primarily to an increase in the number of online merchants offering PayPal as a payment option, as well as an increase in the use of PayPal by existing merchants.

Payments net transaction revenues earned internationally totaled $267.0 million and $241.6 million during the first quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing 44% and 43% of total Payments net transaction revenues, respectively.

Payments Net Transaction Revenues
 
Payments net transaction revenues increased 29% and 32% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2008 respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increase in net transaction revenues was consistent with our 28% and 32% growth in TPV during the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. TPV increased due to growth in PayPal’s merchant services business and continued penetration of eBay Marketplaces transactions. However, TPV growth was negatively impacted by the difficult global economic environment.
 
TPV for PayPal’s merchant services business was approximately $7.5 billion and $21.4 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively, which represented an increase of 49% and 56% compared to the same periods of the prior year, respectively. PayPal’s merchant services business accounted for approximately 51% and 49% of PayPal’s TPV in the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively, compared to 44% and 41% in the same periods of the prior year, respectively. The increase in PayPal’s merchant services business was primarily the result of more online merchants, both domestically and internationally, adding PayPal as a payment option, as well as increased usage of PayPal by customers of our existing merchant services clients. Our Payments net transaction revenues as a percentage of TPV was 3.9% for all periods presented.
 
Payments net transaction revenues earned internationally were $256.6 million and $753.8 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively, and represented 45% and 44% of total Payments net transaction revenues in the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively. Payments net transaction revenues earned internationally were $191.1 million and $543.5 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, and represented 43% and 42% of total Payments net transaction revenues during those periods, respectively. International growth in our Payments segment continues to benefit from the expansion of our international operations and the number of currencies supported by PayPal over the last 12 months. Based on changes in foreign currency rates year over year, Payments net revenues were positively impacted by foreign currency translation of approximately $0.9 million and $4.6 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively, as compared to net revenues that would have been recorded had foreign currency rates remained constant.
 
We expect our Payments net transaction revenues for the remainder of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, to continue to grow based upon growth in our merchant services business resulting from an increased number of merchants integrating PayPal on their websites, continued penetration on Marketplaces transactions and the expected completion of our acquisition of Bill Me Later in the fourth quarter of 2008. Our growth rate will continue to be impacted by the uncertain global consumer spending environment.

Payments Net Transaction Revenues
 
Payments net transaction revenues increased 34% during both the second quarter and first six months of 2008, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increase in net transaction revenues was consistent with our 35% and 34% growth in TPV during the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. TPV increased due to growth in PayPal’s merchant services business and continued penetration of eBay Marketplaces transactions.
 
TPV for PayPal’s merchant services business was approximately $7.3 billion and $13.9 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively, which represented an increase of 57% and 59% compared to the same periods of the prior year, respectively. PayPal’s merchant services business accounted for approximately 49% and 47% of PayPal’s TPV in the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively. The increase in PayPal’s merchant services business was primarily the result of more online merchants, both domestically and internationally, adding PayPal as a payment option, as well as increased usage of PayPal by customers of our existing merchant services clients. Our Payments net transaction revenues as a percentage of TPV was 3.9% during the second quarter and first six months of 2008 and 2007. TPV for PayPal’s merchant services business was approximately $4.6 billion and $8.7 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, and represented 42% and 40% of PayPal’s TPV, respectively.
 
Payments net transaction revenues earned internationally were $255.7 million and $497.2 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively, and represented 44% of total Payments net transaction revenues during both periods. Payments net transaction revenues earned internationally were $181.1 million and $352.5 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, and represented 42% and 41% of total Payments net transaction revenues during those periods, respectively. International growth in our Payments segment continues to benefit from the expansion of our international operations and the number of currencies supported by PayPal over the last twelve months. Based on changes in foreign currency rates year over year, Payments net revenues were positively impacted by foreign currency translation of approximately $2.0 million and $3.7 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively, as compared to net revenues that would have been recorded had foreign currency rates remained constant.
 
We expect our Payments net transaction revenues in 2008, compared to 2007, to continue to grow based upon growth in our merchant services business resulting from an increased number of merchants integrating PayPal on their websites, as well as continued penetration on Marketplaces transactions.

TPV increased due to growth in the Merchant Services business and continued penetration of eBay Marketplaces transactions.
 
The TPV for PayPal’s Merchant Services transactions was approximately $6.6 billion in the first quarter of 2008, which represented an increase of 61% compared to the same period of the prior year.

Based on changes in foreign currency rates year over year, Payments net revenues were positively impacted by foreign currency translation of approximately $1.7 million during the first quarter of 2008.
 
For the remainder of 2008, we expect Payments net transaction revenues to increase in total and net transaction revenues earned internationally to increase in total and as a percentage of Payments net transaction revenues. We expect our Payments Merchant Services business to continue to grow as the number of merchants integrating PayPal on their websites increases and as we build consumer preference for PayPal. In addition, we expect that our Payments business will continue to benefit from growth in GMV and higher levels of penetration on Marketplaces transactions.

Payments Net Transaction Revenues
 
Payments net transaction revenues increased 32% and 30% during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increase in net transaction revenue is consistent with our 34% and 32% growth in total payment volume during the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. Payments net transaction revenues are still primarily derived from PayPal’s penetration of eBay Marketplaces transactions. Payments net transaction revenues have grown largely as a result of the increase in our eBay Marketplaces GMV during the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 as compared to the same periods of the prior year.
 
In addition, Payments net transaction revenue growth was due in part to a 61% and 57% increase in total payment volume in PayPal’s merchant services business during the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increase in merchant services business is the result of more online merchants, both domestically and internationally, adding PayPal as a payment option. The total payment volume for PayPal’s merchant services transactions was approximately $5.4 billion and $14.7 billion in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007, respectively, which represented 44% and 42% of PayPal’s total payment volume, respectively. The total payment volume for PayPal’s merchant services transactions was approximately $3.3 billion and $9.4 billion in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2006, which represented 37% and 35% of PayPal’s total payment volume, respectively. Our Payments net transaction revenues as a percentage of total payment volume was 3.7% during each of the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007 and 2006.
 
Payments net transaction revenues earned internationally were $191.1 million and $543.5 million during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007, respectively, representing 43% and 42% of total Payments net transaction revenues during those periods. Payments net transaction revenues earned internationally were $127.8 million and $371.7 million during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2006, respectively, representing 38% and 37% of total Payments net transaction revenues during those periods. International growth in our Payments segment continues to benefit from the expansion of our geographical footprint and the number of currencies supported by PayPal over the last twelve months. Based on changes in foreign currency rates year over year, Payments net revenues were positively impacted by foreign currency translation of approximately $0.1 million and $18.9 million during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007, respectively. Changes in foreign currency rates will impact our operating results and, to the extent that the U.S. dollar strengthens, our foreign currency denominated net revenues will be negatively impacted.
 
For the remainder of 2007, we expect Payments net transaction revenues to increase in total and net transaction revenues earned internationally to increase in total and as a percentage of Payments net transaction revenues. We expect Payments to grow our merchant services business as the number of merchants integrating PayPal on their websites increases and as we build consumer preference for PayPal. In addition, we expect to benefit from growth in Marketplaces GMV.

Payments Net Transaction Revenues
 
Payments net transaction revenues increased 31% and 29% during the second quarter and the first six months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increase in net transaction revenue is consistent with our 32% and 31% growth in total payment volume during the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. Payments net transaction revenues are still primarily derived from PayPal’s penetration of eBay Marketplaces transactions. Payments net transaction revenues have grown in connection with the increase in our eBay Marketplaces GMV during the second quarter and first six months of 2007 as compared to the same periods of the prior year.
 
In addition, net transaction revenue growth was due to a 57% and 54% increase in total payment volume in PayPal’s merchant services transactions during the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in merchant services business is due to more online merchants, both domestically and internationally, adding PayPal as a payment option. The total payment volume for PayPal’s merchant services transactions was approximately $4.9 billion and $9.3 billion in the second quarter and the first six months of 2007, respectively, which represented 42% and 40% of PayPal’s total payment volume, respectively.

Payments Net Transaction Revenues
 
Payments net transaction revenues increased 28% during the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of the prior year which is consistent with our 30% growth in total payment volume year over year. The growth in Payments net transaction revenues was positively affected by PayPal’s continued penetration of eBay Marketplaces transactions. Further, Payments net transaction revenues have grown in connection with the increase in our eBay Marketplaces GMV during the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
 
In addition, net transaction revenue growth was due to a 51% increase in total payment volume in PayPal’s merchant services transactions during the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of the prior year driven by increased merchant use of our products. The total payment volume for PayPal’s merchant services transactions was approximately $4.4 billion in the first quarter of 2007, which represented 39% of PayPal’s total payment volume. The total payment volume for PayPal’s merchant services transactions was approximately $2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2006, which represented 33% of PayPal’s total payment volume. Our Payments net transaction revenues as a percentage of total payment volume was 3.7% during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006.
 
Payments net transaction revenues earned internationally totaled $171.3 million during the first quarter of 2007, representing 41% of total Payments net transaction revenues during that period. This is compared to Payments net transaction revenues earned internationally of $118.6 million during the first quarter of 2006, representing 36% of total Payments net transaction revenues. Growth in the international business continues to benefit from our expansion of our geographical footprint and expansion in the number of currencies supported by PayPal over the last twelve months. Based on changes in foreign currency rates year over year, Payments net revenues were positively impacted by foreign currency translation of approximately $10.0 million during the first quarter of 2007. Changes in foreign currency rates will impact our operating results and, to the extent that the U.S. dollar strengthens, our foreign currency denominated net revenues will be negatively impacted.
 
For the remainder of 2007, we expect Payments net transaction revenues to increase in total and net transaction revenues earned internationally to increase in total and as a percentage of Payments net transaction revenues. We expect to grow our merchant services business as the number of merchants integrating PayPal on their websites increases and we build consumer preference for PayPal. In addition, we expect to continue to drive higher penetration rates on Marketplaces platforms and benefit from growth in Marketplaces GMV.

The growth in our Payments net transaction revenues, in all years, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of total net transaction revenues, was primarily the result of increases in PayPal transaction volume driven by the growth in PayPal Merchant Services transactions, the higher penetration of PayPal in the Marketplaces platforms and growth in gross merchandise volume in the Marketplaces segment.
 
In 2006, our global Merchant Services total payment volume increased 59% compared to 2005, generating total payment volume of $13.3 billion. In 2005, our global Merchant Services total payment volume increased 48% compared to 2004, generating total payment volume of $8.4 billion. Furthermore, the growth in Payments net transactions revenues in 2006 was positively affected by PayPal’s continued penetration of Marketplaces transactions which increased to 57.2% in 2006 from 52.7% in 2005 and 46.7% in 2004. Payments net transaction revenues have grown in connection with the increase in our Marketplaces gross merchandise volume which increased to $52.5 billion in 2006 compared to $44.3 billion in 2005 and $34.2 billion in 2004.

Net transaction revenues from Payments earned internationally totaled $533.2 million in 2006, $364.5 million in 2005 and $207.6 million in 2004, representing 38.0%, 36.4% and 30.5% of total Payments segment net transaction revenues, respectively. Payments net revenues were positively impacted by foreign currency translation of approximately $4.3 million and $5.3 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Changes in foreign currency rates will impact our operating results and, to the extent that the U.S. dollar strengthens, our foreign currency denominated net revenues will be negatively impacted.
 
In 2007, we expect the Payments net transaction revenues to increase in total and for net transaction revenues earned internationally to increase in total and as a percentage of Payments net transaction revenues. We expect to grow our merchant service business and continue to drive higher penetration rates on Marketplaces platforms. We also expect that Payments net transaction revenues will increase as a percentage of total net transaction revenues in 2007.
