PayPal is one of the leading electronic commerce businesses that permits money transferring and payments to be done over the internet. Money transfers made online act as an electronic substitute for paying in the usual method, like money orders and personal checks. PayPal is a financial institution that processes payments for commercial users, auction sites and online vendors, by charging a fee. They may also charge a fee for receiving money, not only for sending. The fees charged vary on the currency used, the payment choice used, the sender's country, the receiver's country, the quantity sent and the receiver's type of account. The fee is usually small, but when you start to count how many transactions are done in a day, you begin to wish you'd thought of it first.

PayPal became a completely extra owned company of eBay in October 2002, but they broke up in 2014 and now work independently of each other. PayPal is a public corporation. Its headquarters is in San Jose, California. The company has also some operations in Dublin, Ireland; Toronto, Canada; Tel Aviv, Israel; Chennai, India; Kleinmachnow, Germany; Charlotte, Austin, Omaha, and Scottsdale in America. PayPal's founders were Peter Thiel, Luke Nosek, Elon Musk, Ken Howery and Max Levchin. Its president is David Marcus and CFO is Patrick Dupuis. From last July 2007 until today, PayPal has also managed within the European Union as a Luxembourg based bank.
