:I think there's a few ways of looking at this:
1. Is doing "what pleases investors" - which infers "doing what increases the stock price" - in direct conflict with "doing the right thing"? Immediately, I think the answer is "no", but at some point if you start reaching for only "all things profitable" your intent for "all things good/right" goes down.
2. On the flip side, it's probably a healthy thing for there to be (serious) competition with PayPal. Some people have complained about rates, etc... and competition is one way to alleviate these things....
3. ...and on side number 3 (here's one for you EBay'ers who look forward to using Google Wallet) -
IF 23% of EBay's profits were from PayPal (let's remember who owns what),
THEN why in the heck would EBay allow Google Wallet to be used? Or is this something that EBay can not control? What could EBay to to limit it's use? If I were a major stock holder of EBay, I would certainly be asking "What can we do so that Google Wallet does not infringe on our profits."
Ebay has no control over how you pay the buyer. There is however paypal links, icons etc embedded within the Ebay ad's so that merchants who want to accept Paypal can advertise it before anyone clicks the listings link on the search page also you can preenter the amounts onto it and all the buyer needs to do is enter his user/pass and then click send money, faster than going to www.paypal.com and having to fill out the send money form.
