RE: PayPal / Ebay separating...policy updates..better?.

Monopolies are not illegal. But a company in a monopoly position is not allowed to abuse its monopoly powers to further the growth of the monopoly (e.g. by preventing competition).

Paypal doesn't have a monopoly on online payments anyway. But eBay may be considered to have a monopoly or near-monopoly on user-to-user online sales. I agree that it's better for them to be separate companies, but the reasons for this are not monopoly-related.
