What other big companies? Is this just a personal speculation? Or a fact? Because Alibaba already announce its interest to Paypal. And Ebay already admin that Alibaba is interested to paypal. Is their other big companies that you can name that actually interested to acquire paypal also? Because its can really have big impact to paypal.Paypal if idenpendent will become target by some big companies and not only Alibaba. Apple could acquire them if they want. But i heard from Some sources that Ebay split Paypal into independent business so it can expand and not because it designed to be sold.
