Relatively speaking, PayPal has been around forever which makes it easy to take for granted. That said, who would’ve thought that the little service we used to pay for eBay impulse purchases 10 years ago would become such an eCommerce force and still going strong in 2018?

One would think that an online banking platform used by 200+ million people would have an abundance of interesting stats and PayPal certainly doesn’t disappoint. Here are a few of the more interesting PayPal statistics and facts I was able to dig up. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.

This report is a digital collection of the most interesting Paypal statistics I have curated over the years as of September 2018. 100 of them including stats for:

Users
Venmo
Payments
Mobile
Revenue
Etc.- all in one place

I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.

Bundle 1: eCommerce digital reports (Alibaba, Alipay, Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, Flipkart, JD.com, Tmall, Taobao, PayPal and Square).

Bundle 2: ePay reports (Paypal, Paytm, Samsung, Apple and Alipay).

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from PayPal’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
