PayPal Gets Aggressive for the Holidays

As you may know, PayPal is the online mobile payment unit of eBay (NAS: EBAY) , which recently rolled out a program that mimics one of this year's biggest trends in retail. That's right -- PayPal has joined the "price-matching" strategy.

The company is setting aside up to $1,000 per customer for the promotion because it runs through the spend-heavy holiday shopping season. As a business tactic, price-matching is nothing new, but PayPal's decision to offer this is something more typical retailers like Best Buy (NYS: BBY) and Target (NYS: TGT) were not expecting. To get more information on PayPal's aggressive holiday strategy, take a look at the video below.

PayPal is doing a bit of "future-proofing" here, and investors should consider doing the same. Making the right financial decisions today makes a world of difference in your golden years.
