When I logged onto Ebay today, I got a notification that Ebay and PayPal will become separate entities as of June 15.  I wonder what led to this change.  Here is what was posted:

eBay and PayPal will be separate companies soon, which means we won't be part of the same group of companies anymore. You can be confident this doesn't change our commitment to our customers. We're more excited than ever to bring you a seamless and enjoyable experience.

You can keep using PayPal on eBay just like you do today; that won't change. Your purchases are still protected through our buyer protection programs.

We'll also continue to share some customer information between eBay and PayPal to provide you the same level of customer support and fraud detection you get today.

We've updated our user agreements and privacy policies to describe how we'll protect and share your information. For example, eBay and PayPal will work together to:

    Detect potential fraud and protect your account
    Provide you customer support
    Process payments, and offer shipping and related services
