- The PayPal case study in the textbook outlines polylingual obstacle as one of the most challenging issues PayPal has ever faced against its globalization ambition. PayPal realized a few years ago that failing to solve this problem would have crippled its expansion into new countries and hindered its ability to grow. Given the threat to its future, PayPal decided to come up with not only an effective solution, but a permanent one
- By re-architecting its software code to accommodate the language localization issues, and create what is called today “Polylingual simultaneous shipping” or “SimShip” by the development community. (O’Brien & Marakas, 2009) According to
- PayPal successful implementation of SimShip today is a proof that PayPal has finally overcome the polylingual issue. Gone are the days where PayPal had to worry about its globalization expansion, for now it possesses 15 languages, 17 currencies and 190 markets worldwide, as mentioned by Matthew Mengerink, Vice President of core technologies at PayPal. By going global all language at a time, PayPal has demonstrated that polylingual challenge is no longer its most relevant issue PayPal President Scott Thomson stated that the company should double in size over the next three years. PayPal is expected to process between $100-$120 billion in annual payments around 2011. PayPal has about 70 million active users. PayPal is available in about 17 languages and accepts about 19 different currencies. PayPal takes a cut from each transaction and ended up making $2.4 billion in 2008.

- Fishing emails are the most common issues facing PayPal’s customers. They are emails that lead PayPal’s users to fake or “spoof” sites in order to steal their information for fraudulent activities. Spoof sites are fake sites that stand like the real PayPal site, usually with the same look and feel of which purpose is to lure users into collecting their information.
- To solve this problem, PayPal recommend its users to remember the following important points whenever they receive an alleged PayPal’s email: Never click on a link in an email that requests personal information. PayPal will never ask its customers the following information in an e-mail: Credit and debit card numbers Bank account numbers Driver’s license number E-mail addresses, full name and password. (PayPal, 2011)

- In April 2010, PayPal announced he had patched numerous security holes that an Avnet Technologies security researcher had discovered in PayPal’s backend system related to its business and premier accounts. These vulnerabilities have exposed massive amount of customers’ data. (Prince, 2010)
