Ebay to announce a big news with Facebook in 2 weeks

PanARMENIAN.Net - At 500 Startups’ Smash Summit in New York, a blogger Robert Scoble revealed that PayPal is launching something big with Facebook in two weeks, and that it would be a more expansive partnership than the existing PayPal-Facebook integrations.

TechChrunch reports that this announcement is coming at eBay and PayPal’s X.commerce Innovate conference in two weeks and Katie Burke Mitic, who leads Platform Marketing for Facebook will be making an announcement.

Last year, PayPal announced its new micropayments product, which Facebook integrated. In early 2010, Facebook announced that you could use PayPal to purchase Credits.

A likely possibility is a Facebook partnership on the new X.Commerce platform, which is a division of eBay, Inc. and is expected to bring together elements from eBay, PayPal, Magento and GSI Commerce. According to PayPal, X.commerce will feature a “fabric” that stitches the platform together to create new experiences for retailers and their customers.

With more retailers flocking to Facebook, and as more money is passing through the network via games, apps and others experiences, there is a huge potential for many integrations with online payments giant PayPal.
