PayPal earns great fintech reputation from its massive worldwide network of 250+ million active users. As PayPal beats the revenue and profit expectations of most stock analysts and economic commentators in 2018Q3, its share price surges 9%. A peer-to-peer payment app, Venmo, enjoys 80% growth in total payment volume quarter-to-quarter. As this M&A brain child proves to be a major moneymaker for its parent company PayPal, Venmo adds 9 million peer-to-peer payment accounts to the PayPal mafia worldwide network.

PayPal now continues to expand its strategic partnership with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Apple, Google, Samsung, and Walmart to allow cardholders to use their membership points when these consumers shop from PayPal merchants. This additional convenience empowers key consumers to integrate their electronic retail experiences with most traditional credit cards. Anecdotal evidence suggests that PayPal encompasses more than 250 million active members with about 78% of the total market share in America.

Key stock analysts and economic media commentators expect the eBay multi-year transition to the Adyen fast-payment platform to be quite bumpy in light of the long history that both buyers and sellers have almost exclusively interacted with PayPal on the prior eBay online auction platform. In hindsight, the Dutch payment platform Adyen can be a cost-effective key option for eBay, but eBay might have overlooked the tremendous positive network effects of PayPal that dominates in the electronic mobile payment market in America.
