eBay and PayPal are now offering Bill Me Later as a payment option during checkout for Buy It Now purchases and for some auction listings. eBay had conducted tests of the integration last month on a limited basis.

With Bill Me Later, qualified eBay and PayPal customers in the U.S. can finance purchases, buying items and paying for them over time without using a credit card. PayPal customers will be able to access their Bill Me Later statements directly from their PayPal accounts, with the option to pay their Bill Me Later balances with PayPal.

Qualified customers can also use Bill Me Later at tens of thousands of online merchants that accept PayPal Express Checkout. When customers select the PayPal checkout button, Bill Me Later will be available as a funding choice along with their stored PayPal balance, bank accounts or credit cards.

PayPal continues to offer its similar PayPal Pay Later service but will gradually phase it out.

Eternity with Marilyn Monroe goes back on auction block


Ever dream of lying on top of Marilyn Monroe? Now's your chance! Well...sort of.

The crypt above Monroe's at Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles is up for auction on eBay. This isn't the first time it has been listed. Back in August the crypt sold for a whopping $4.6 Million, but the sale fell through. It is expected to sell for millions of dollars this time around as well. To prevent the sale from falling through again the group listing the auction will make sure any bidders have the funds to pay for the crypt and will collect a 1 to 5% deposit at the end of the auction.
