"eBay reported that payment volume grew 12% for PayPal on eBay"
My opinion is because eBay will no longer allow checks, cash, moneyorders etc for payment. Also since eBay site sales are down, let's say fewer buyers, and they are required to use PayPal, I think this would account for the growth number. If eBay only sold 10 items and they all paid via PayPal, this would show 100%. Take away all the check, moneyorder, payments and the buyers that prefer to pay that way and the percentage of Paypal payments grows due to lost sales.
