Carry a piece of online payment history with this Billpoint backpack. Founded in 1998 in Redwood City, California, Billpoint set out to help people send money to one another online. Its path soon led through an eBay purchase, a Wells Fargo joint venture and a contest for the loyalty of auction customers. Billpoint was phased out after eBay acquired PayPal, with the shutdown completed in early 2003. For collectors of early internet brands, this backpack connects everyday use with a brief but memorable chapter in digital commerce.
Billpoint was a person-to-person money transfer service founded in 1998 by Sang Young Lee, Hope Chen, Will Chen, Jason May, Ian Flint and Jay Shen. The company was headquartered in Redwood City, California. In February 1999, it obtained venture funding from Sequoia Capital, and later that year online auction company eBay purchased it. Billpoint's website went offline as the service was integrated into eBay's auction operation. In 2000, Billpoint returned as a joint venture with Wells Fargo. Meanwhile, PayPal entered the online payment market and rapidly gained popularity among eBay customers. Billpoint and eBay spent much of the following two years trying to compete with PayPal, with mixed results. In July 2002, eBay CEO Meg Whitman agreed with PayPal CEO Peter Thiel to acquire PayPal. After the transaction closed in October 2002, eBay began phasing out Billpoint; the shutdown was completed in early 2003. The company's history traces a short-lived payment brand through a purchase, integration, joint venture, competitive struggle and eventual discontinuation.
