eBay Holds Analyst Day Today - PayPal Update Included

eBay held its annual Analyst Day today covering eBay, PayPal, and Skype. The presentations from today's event (PDF - 17.4 MB in size) are available for downloading from the eBay Investor Relations site.

Some of the more interesting PayPal-related slides include a couple of slides in Scott Thompson's portion of the presentation -- including page 164 that shows the additional data available to PayPal in making its fraud risk decisions and page 166 that shows the very positive effects in terms of reduced transaction loss rate vs. growth in PayPal transaction volumes. Thompson is Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at PayPal.

US merchant acquirers might want to take a look at page 198 showing how PayPal covers the traditional merchant value chain with a more integrated and, presumably, attractive solution.

Dana Stalder's presentation on "Beyond Internet Payments" discusses PayPal's efforts to both broaden and deepen its markets with both financial and mobile products. Not much actually new here - but a concise restatement of those efforts. Stalder's closing slide speaks to an expanded purpose for PayPal - aspiring to step beyond its traditional mantra of "creating the new global standard for online payments." Stalder is Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Operations at PayPal.
