"I wonder why paypal agreed to be bought out for such a small premium to the stock price. Are they that afraid of EBAY? "

I do not believe PayPal had anything to fear from eBay. eBay is not their only revenue source either. About 15% I believe was for payments made to pornography sites. There is another 20% for on-line gambling. I do not see that decreasing no pun intended. There are a lot of small business web sites that also only take PayPal.
