Seller Value Proposition

PayPal offers online merchants an all-in-one payment processing solution that is less expensive than most credit card merchant accounts, offers industry-leading fraud prevention and streamlines the checkout experience for users of the approximately 81 million active registered accounts in approximately 190 markets as of December 31, 2009. Active registered accounts are defined as registered accounts that successfully sent or received at least one payment or payment reversal through the PayPal system (or Bill Me Later accounts that are currently able to transact and that have received a statement) within the last 12 months. Users of active registered accounts may engage in cross-border shopping, which may help merchants to increase sales volume. In addition, PayPal offers a payment gateway service that provides merchants who already have a credit card merchant account with a secure connection from their online store to their internet merchant account and processing network.

A merchant can typically open a PayPal account and begin accepting credit card payments within a few minutes. Most merchants are approved instantly for a PayPal account and do not need to provide a personal guarantee, acquire specialized hardware, prepare an application, or contact a payment gateway. PayPal can reduce or eliminate the need for merchants to receive and store sensitive customer financial information. Furthermore, PayPal charges lower transaction fees than most U.S. merchant accounts, and charges no setup fees and few or no recurring monthly fees.

The account-based nature of PayPal’s network helps us to better detect and prevent fraud when funds enter, flow through and exit the PayPal network. Sellers can also reduce the risk of transaction losses resulting from unauthorized credit card use and fraudulent chargebacks if they comply with PayPal’s Seller Protection Policy.

U.S. merchants offering Bill Me Later provide buyers with various transactional credit arrangements at the point of sale through Bill Me Later’s banking relationships. Beginning in the fall of 2009, Bill Me Later was made available as a funding source to approved U.S. PayPal customers, which may help to increase our Payments sales volume.
