NEW YORK, February 5 /PRNewswire/ --     Moneybookers USA Inc., part of the Moneybookers group, one of
the world's largest online payments systems, is pleased to announce its
integration on eBay.com as an official payment provider starting in February.

The Moneybookers payment platform offers a wide range of local
and international payment options worldwide, with both merchants and
customers benefiting from its ultra-secure payments system and high
conversion rates. The system protects auction buyers' personal data from
identity theft and fraud, whilst enabling sellers to offer their customers
one of the easiest ways to pay online.

making its own online checkout process a more consistent and secure
experience, providing a better choice to its sellers and buyers. A system
like Moneybookers directly integrated on eBay.com will allow for a more
efficient and reliable service, increasing the safety of both buyers and
sellers in every single transaction as well as ensuring the best possible
conversion rates during the checkout process.

Items totalling almost $60 billion in value were traded on
eBay globally in 2007 and the auction site currently has over 86 million
active users worldwide. Moneybookers will be available for all eBay.com users
in February.
