agreed.

If Paypal doesn't buy them too.. according to this article[1] the valuation is 500m, so less than what PP paid for Braintree..

As usual old and awful services survive by buying out the better competition.

Survival of the richest not the one with better service.

Doesn't this article say specifically Stripe is not for sale?

I don't know if there are other investors than Y Combinator though, there might be one that will push for a sale.

We do have other investors, but (luckily) they're as uninterested in selling as we are. We've always been clear with them that we want to build this for the long-term.

At the right price, everything is for sale. Not let anyone tell you otherwise...

I was linking the article not for showing that they're selling but because it's the first (most recent?) article I found in 2 minutes on Google stating their valuation (one article from 2012 talks about 1bln valuation, btw we're in the same league of Braintree)
