    not a chance in hell....

    They should keep to what they do best, and leave the credit card market to people you would actualy trust with your cash, such as your bank.....

    This sucks. I like the paypal mobile idea though - just for the notion that you can pay anyone, anywhere. Like they said on diggnation though, it's gonna make gambling soooo tempting; just too easy to pay people if you lose!

    AH

    Personally I wouldn't bother with a paypal credit card, but I would like to see a paypal debit card, where the money comes from your paypal account.

    They get to trade on their brand name in entering the credit card business. If they could tie it to normal paypal accounts then they would have a winner.

    Its a pretty astute business move by them. By releasing a credit card and then if they plan to sell on ('securitisation') the debt to another party they can quickly raise a lot of capital.

    Does this mean we will see PayPal Loans?, Home & Car Insurance? - we will see
