E-commerce giant eBay is planning to split off its payments system PayPal into a separate company. It expects to complete the move in the second half of next year. Its payment system is available in more than 200 markets worldwide and is expected to process one billion mobile payments this year. Earlier this year the activist investor Carl Icahn began pressing for eBay to sell PayPal, a plan that was resisted by the eBay board. He stopped pushing after failing to gain enough support. PayPal's new president and chief executive will be the current American Express co-executive Dan Schulman. Meanwhile, Devin Wenig, currently president of eBay Marketplaces, will become the new chief executive of eBay.

The European Commission (EC) has told Ireland it believes it gave illegal state aid to Apple. It has published a letter, originally sent to the country in June, accusing it of helping the computer giant through special tax arrangements. The EC is looking at whether some countries, including Luxembourg and the Netherlands, unfairly favour multinationals. Apple says it has received "no selective treatment". The company employs more than 4,000 people in the Republic of Ireland, mainly assembling computers and providing technical support.

The video streaming site Netflix will release its first feature-length film next year after striking a deal with the Weinstein Company. The sequel to Ang Lee's Oscar-winning martial arts drama Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will be shown on Netflix and in Imax cinemas. Netflix has over 50 million subscribers, in more than 40 countries.The firm already produces its own TV programmes, notably the politically-themed House of Cards. However, director Ang Lee will not be returning to film the sequel. Those duties have been taken over by Chinese director Yuen Wo-Ping, who has already started filming in New Zealand.
This is not the first time that Netflix has worked with the Weinstein Company. The two are set to release a drama series about Italian explorer Marco Polo in December. Last week, Netflix bought the rights to historical drama Peaky Blinders, first aired on the BBC, in a separate deal with the Weinstein Company and production group Endemol.
