Speaking from a nightmarish personal experience moving hundreds of thousands with PayPal over the years, it is astounding to me that it took so long for someone like Stripe to come along.<p>It is not astounding they have quickly blossomed into a valuable company.<p>Why did it take so long?<p>And what about eBay? Someone should consider taking that on.<p>Letting a huge business being an incumbent without competition for 15+ years in the web world seems so absurd.
