Since its break from eBay, PayPal has announced its first acquisition in mobile payment start-up Modest.
Modest users may make purchases using apps via buy buttons on merchant sites, much like Pinterest's Buyable Pins.
"For consumers it will mean seamless, simpler and safer ways to buy the things they want, anywhere they discover them," Bill Ready of PayPal said in a statement.
Harper Reed and Dylan Richard established Modest in 2012. Both Reed and Richard served on President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.

But many people using their Paypal accounts for shopping in internet so they will be pleased if that happens simpler and safer.

H What I don't understand is what Harper Reed and Dylan Richard establishing Modest in 2012 or the two of them serving on President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign has anything to do with anything. Huh......
