ProPay was quick to point out that it doesn’t want to be considered a full-fledged PayPal competitor and instead wants to position itself as a company that caters to power sellers who plan to accept credit cards.

Liu wouldn’t say which but claimed that AOL is “having discussions” with the big platforms. That would include Yahoo and Microsoft, as well as Facebook. The Google IM system is is open.
