Overall, revs rose 23 percent from the same period last year to $3.398 billion, led by a 26 percent increase in Payments segment top-line growth. Overall, the Street was looking for revs of $3.36 billion in the quarter.
Adjusted net income rose 16 percent to $730 million, or 56 cents per share, from $631 million in Q2111. The Street was looking for EPS closer to 55 cents.

Non-GAAP operating margin compressed 30 basis points to 27.3 percent.
On PayPal, the segment ended the second quarter with 113.2 million active registered account, up 13 percent year over year. The 26 percent increase in revs was largely attributed to increased penetration on eBay as well as continued merchant and consumer adoption and strong growth in Bill Me Later.
