Introduce young internet history fans to Billpoint with this kids tee. Founded in 1998 in Redwood City, the money transfer service reflected an early effort to help people pay one another online. eBay purchased it in 1999, it returned as a joint venture with Wells Fargo in 2000, and its shutdown was completed in early 2003. That concise story of changing ownership, competition, and consolidation offers a memorable way to talk about how online shopping and payments took shape.
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.
