So exactly how big was this filelocker service anyhow?

Alexa trend for PayPal.com


The decline suspiciously coincides with the filelocker shutdowns. I'm guessing some filelockers probably had more transactions then even eBay.

Was PayPal built on a piracy platform? 44% decline in traffic is huge.

If this is true, this would be a massive scandal. Can anyone corroborate this?

If true answers the question of why they turned a blind eye.

This looks interesting.

I hope there is a connection, PayPal are just pure greedy.

The reason for the decline is simple, they have replaced international paypal addresses with things like paypal-business.com.au instead of paypal.com/au

Really, does anyone think that File Lockers, despite the number I'm shutting down, could be responsible for such a Paypal drop ?

Also web checkouts are not tracked by Alexa as I understand it.
