Paypal pulling out of China?

No primary category set

According to local media, Tom Eachnet has announced plans to cancel the the use of its PayPal service in China. According to a report by iResearch, Paypal’s share of China’s third party payments market has been reduced to a miserly 1.6%.

Despite offering a free service for local currency payments, there were persistant rumours last year that Chinese regulators would force Paypal to partner with a local company, just as eBay themselves did with the TOM Group.

Meg Whitman said that eBay remained “very committed” to Paypal in China, but with such a tiny market share, she surely must be asking herself if it’s now worth persisting.
