Paid for a purchase with PayPal today and noticed that the final screen after making payment is basically a large advertisement for PayPal's Shopping Mall, with a big old PayPal Shops Search box staring you in the face. Now that's a great idea IMO!!! Monetize your massive user base and generate sales for your users, many of which will complete transactions using PayPal! No eBay middleman siphoning fees either which is great! Think about how many thousands/millions of times users make payments with PayPal each week and are then taken directly to PayPal Shops!
Did they just implement this or has it been like that for a while??? I haven't made a PayPal payment in months.
Have any of you added your e-shop to the PayPal Mall??? I think it's free. Have you gotten a lot of traffic as a result?

Well, it sure SOUNDS like a great idea, I looked into opening a shop but they require you to have a money market account with them. I was not ready to open that (they require your SSN) since they already have enough of my info.

The search feature for the PayPal Shops is new, started a few days ago. That was my biggest complaint about the PayPal shops the search feature is a big improvement.
