How freaky...yesterday was the first time I used Billpoint (as a Seller)..and whamo To our Billpoint user: We have exciting news! Billpoint, the leading online person-to-person payment service provider, and eBay, the world's largest online person-to-person trading community, have signed an agreement to merge. Billpoint will provide person-to-person payment service for the eBay community of Sellers and Buyers while continuing to service other leading classifieds, auctions, communities, and personal storefronts. We are very excited about our marriage to eBay. eBay has tremendous understanding of and insight into person-to-person trading. Strategically, we can also leverage eBay's infrastructure and experience to offer improved services to our users. Billpoint will continue to operate as an independent company, led by your faithful and enthusiastic Billpoint Team. The transition will have minimum impact on your service. Stay tuned for additional communications regarding our new partnership. Also effective today May 18th, 1999, Billpoint is proud to introduce a new look-and-feel to our Web site. We have redesigned our site to enhance the overall usability, functionality, and transaction experience for you, our users. As a pre-registered user, you can conduct transactions as usual. Simply click on the "MyBillpoint" button in the upper left hand corner of the web site, log into your account, then conduct transactions or look up account information just as you have always done. Everyone at Billpoint is very enthusiastic about our new partnership with eBay. The arrangement is a springboard to even better services for our users. We encourage you to continue your active use of our service. Please feel free to contact us at customercare@billpoint.com if you have any questions. Warmly, The Billpoint Team
