About this product

Product Information

When Peter Thiel and Max Levchin launched an online payment website in 1999, they hoped their service could improve the lives of millions around the globe. But when their start-up, PayPal, survived the dot.com crash only to find itself besieged by unimaginable challenges, that dream threatened to become a nightmare. PayPal's history - as told by former insider Eric Jackson - is an engrossing study of human struggle and perseverance against overwhelming odds. The entrepreneurs that Thiel and Levchin recruited to overhaul world currency markets first had to face some of the greatest trials ever thrown at a Silicon Valley company before they could make internet history. Business guru Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence, called the hardcover edition of The PayPal Wars a real page turner that featured what he called the best description of business strategy unfolding in a world changing at warp speed. The new paperback edition will feature updated material and even more insights on the state of internet commerce.

  • THE PAYPAL WARS: Battles w/eBay, the Mafia, the Media…

    Did you know that eBay's 1998 purchase of PayPal was not so much an acquisition as it was a case if you can't beat 'em, buy 'em? That's just one of the fun facts you'll learn from Eric M. Jackson's The PayPal Wars: Battles with eBay, the Media, the Mafia, and the Rest of Planet Earth. This corporate coming-of-age epic details the growth of the upstart start-up from its humble beginnings as Confinity (where it began life as a payment-exchange method for Palm Pilots and other PDAs) through its acquisition by by other entities (including he home of the free currency converter, among other things) to its debut as PayPal. Along the way, PayPal fought eBay's efforts to keep it off the site, avoided being hijacked by the mafia, and somehow managed a successful IPO. How? Read all about it in The ...

    I liked that it told a story, instead of reading like a textbook. I decided to buy it for class. I needed it for a final paper.
