PayPal Becomes A Facebook Credits Payment Provider

This afternoon Facebook announced a partnership with PayPal in which users can now pay for their Facebook Credits using the payment provider. Since rumors first began about the expansion of Facebook Credits, many assumed that it would eventually become a direct competitor to PayPal. Today’s announcement suggests that this is not the case.

Instead, Facebook will continue to integrate Facebook Credits into their platform, making it a payment provider for virtual goods. So next time you check out at your favorite e-commerce provider, don’t expect to check out with Facebook Credits.
