PayPal Webchat on Bytestart - 15th November at 13:00

We will be hosting our first webchat on Bytestart this week. If you are thinking of setting up an online payment system for your site - this could be a useful chance to quiz PayPal's head of Merchant Services:

Guest: Carl Olav Scheible, Head of Merchant Services, PayPal
Date: 15th Nov 2006
Time: 13:00 UK time

Internet shopping is worth more than £8billion in the UK and growing rapidly creating a huge boom in consumer spending. Research predicts that an extra £3.2billion will be spent by 2010 that would not have been spent on the high street.

While this is great news for online retailers, there is a fear that small businesses may fall behind in the ultra competitive eMarket.

Help is at hand with PayPal, the online payments provider. So whether you’re a small business, a budding entrepreneur or even a larger merchant looking to develop your online activity or learn how simple it is for businesses to tap into this market, join our online chat.

Please send your questions to Carl Olav Scheible, PayPal‘s Head of Merchant Services via our Webchat page.
