PayPal bets big on non .com domain

[Premium gTLD]

This may be old news, but I just noticed a ".me" domain from PayPal. This is the message that now appears after sending payment via PayPal:

New! PayPal.Me, the link to getting paid​

Want to get paid fast as well? Share your PayPal.Me link with anyone so they can send money to your PayPal account in seconds.

What a novel concept! Branding to both sides of the dot? Maybe PayPal is on to something here!

Like it!

That is a well personalized business use of the extension.

yes, great news, an idea was also to secure a great paypal.me/BRANDABLENAME so it will be perfect to show it to your customers..

I think they did it because of the ever expanding phone and tablet use to make purchases.
I got mine a while ago. Most first names went straight away (including mine) so I got the next best thing PayPal.me/ToRalph
You link this to your existing PayPal account.
So if anybody wants to try it out and send me some money, that's fine (LOL)

Regards

Ralph.

Little late, about 2 months. I would use the search function here to save the mods work in combining threads:
