"Not only did eBay take the questionable move of blacklisting Google Checkout from its approved forms of buyer to seller payment, but now it seems that the Google snowball has eBay shaking up their management team at PayPal. Forbes reports that eBay let one of their heads of PayPal go today; Jeff Jordan, will be leaving the company as part of a major overhaul of senior management.
More from Forbes:
Raji Dutta, formerly eBay’s chief financial officer and currently head of eBay’s Internet-based phone service, Skype, will replace Jordan at PayPal’s helm.
