EBay asks shareholders to veto Icahn's PayPal spin-off proposal

(Reuters) - EBay Inc urged its shareholders to vote against activist investor Carl Icahn's proposal to spin off the e-commerce company's PayPal payments unit. Last week, Icahn asked eBay to sell 20 percent of the PayPal payments unit in an initial public offering, a change in tack from his previous call for a complete spin off. "Our shareholders and our customers are best served by keeping PayPal and eBay together," eBay's board said in a letter to shareholders.
