Nowadays people talk about PayPal's founders as prescient geniuses who would inevitably change the world. It was, however, not so obvious that PayPal would taste its first major success by helping people sell Beanie Babies on eBay.

I can remember when I first went into the Himalayan area way back in 1951. Money, for instance, was not important at all to the local people.
