I just saw on the news that eBay is buying PayPal for US$1.5 billion.
Good for the folks at PayPal, but this does not bode well for PayPal
customers if eBay's history of trying to wring profits out of it's
customers in creative ways is any indication. It also does nothing for
competition.

This sucks.
