Default Re: Paypal Interest rate...?? what's going on?

I don't have any money sitting with paypal, but I found this on their site:

"The PayPal Money Market Fund invests in high-quality, short-term securities—like U.S. Treasury bills or notes . . ."

I think the frequent change must have something to do with Paypal being a money market fund (not to be confused with a money market account at an FDIC insured bank). Paypal's money market fund must run like a mutual fund, with ups and downs daily depending on the market.
