Paypal eclipses eBay after their split
The eBay and its PayPal payments division will be splitting in to two.
PayPal revenue grew 16 per cent in the second quarter. After the fall out from cyber attack and slower customer activity last year resulted in revenue declines at the eBay marketplace.
The combined company will take a £512m ($800m) write down on its eBay Enterprise business, which it agreed to sell to a consortium led by the private equity firm Permira for £592m ($925m).
The combined eBay and PayPal revenues posted were up 7 per cent to £2.8bn ($4.37bn) for the second quarter.
