  • Online Merchant Network is a PayPal-run site for PayPal users to discuss online business. Its Mission Statement says (retrieved 2007-04-06): "PayPal has established the Online Merchant Network (OMN) to create a place where merchants can network with each other and share useful information and advice. The goal of the OMN is to build an objective, open, and welcoming environment for the exchange of ideas about business. Although the OMN is hosted by PayPal, we encourage and welcome any healthy discussion about all payment providers, both pros and cons. And from time to time PayPal, as well as third-party contributors, will provide content about topics concerning online businesses. In essence, we're building the OMN to help businesses grow - and thrive."

  • 2008-04-17 PayPal Plans to Ban Unsafe Browsers: 'PayPal says allowing customers to make financial transactions on unsafe browsers "is equal to a car manufacturer allowing drivers to buy one of their vehicles without seat belts."' However, as Charcoal Design points out, "Since phishing typically takes the form of a site pretending to be Paypal to get user's details, wouldn't they somehow need to persuade the phishing sites to block these browsers? Otherwise they'll end up with the ridiculous situation that the only Paypal branded sites that some users can visit on their browser will be phishing sites."
