    Well by now everyone should have heard of Google new money service called Google Checkout, if not check it out. it is supposed to be a "paypal killer" and I want to see if it's working. Which would you rather use Google Checkout or PayPal?

    Thank You

    Me too, PayPal is just too popular, it will take a while for GC to catch up.

    I still prefer paypal. But I will definitely try google checkout. Did you know that you'll get a $10 bonus when you sign up on google checkout by February 15, 2007. That's a good deal huh? :D

    Google checkout is only free for this year. After this year they will probably charge a monthly, or gateway fee of somesort. I am still going to try it for my new online company, looks interersting.

    GC is restricted and hasn't spread to all countries. To make a comparison now isn't right, not at this moment at least.

    I am still using Paypal with no intention of switching :) I think GC has to work harder to get more customers :D

    Well, i'll use the one that charge the less per transaction. I don't like paying 4%+ per transaction at the moment. If Google is cheaper and offer good services, i'll leave paypal or use it less...

    Both but PayPal is definitely more convenient for the time being.
