PayPal’s mobile payments currently come in two varieties. PayPal offers person-to-person mobile payments, in which it doesn’t make money if users tap a PayPal balance or bank account or charges a percentage fee on transfers from a credit or debit account. It also makes money on mobile commerce payments, where it takes a percentage fee for goods purchased online on a mobile phone via PayPal.
