Tough day for market and eBay

by Gene Alvarez  |  October 6, 2008  |  Comments Off

Perhaps eBay will be able to package Bill Me Later with Paypal into a bundled payment service for all e-commerce sellers to use. Certainly, this will be an interesting holiday season for e-commerce, as consumer woes may drive more buyers to the web to seek bargains and new payment options may help convert some into buyers.
