eBay's PayPal Goes 'Priceless' with Plug-In for Mastercard

PayPal introduced the "PayPal Plug-In" on the company's blog on Tuesday. The plug-in is a free download for Internet browsers that allows users to pay with PayPal anywhere MasterCard is accepted online. If PayPal isn't accepted on a merchant's website, the plug-in generates a Secure Card number - a unique 16-digit number that can be used to debit funds directly from shoppers' PayPal accounts.

The plug-in's AutoFill feature eliminates the need to re-enter billing and shipping information when shopping online and also helps keep track of receipts. PayPal, a subsidiary of eBay, said all purchases made with the plug-in are protected 100% against unauthorized purchases made from the account. The plug-in is currently available for U.S. customers only.
