Do you think they count all the suspended/locked accounts in that number? If so, what percentage does it constitute...

Just gave me a giggle. Thought I'd share.

it is probably the total number of accounts that have ever existed. they want to pump that number up as high as possible to look really cool

I suppose. After all, "Join Paypal Today! Now over 6 Active Accounts." just isn't as eye catching is it.

What are you talking about? The biggest online trading site is ebay. The vast majority of all auctions on ebay accept paypal. A good portion of those same auctions only accept paypal. I have sold probably 100 items on ebay. The vast majority of those were paid through paypal.

They are making so much money.

I wouldn't be surprised if they count alternate emails as seperate accounts, too.
