Or Like Ebay The can't make search engine good as google but they can make their Auction Services best , They're not Software Company like Google or Yahoo Yahoo is not strong as google , Peoples prefer using Google Search , but If they want to auction , they must go to Ebay , The services is different Google may take several years to make them popular. Did you've any idea about Microsoft in the money transferring services?
At the moment Google is planning on only offering its payment system to purchase items that you would buy through their network only. This is going to be their test phase so that they can work out glitches. Eventually it will be offered the same as other payment systems and you bet it will make PayPal wish they had listened to all of its clients and taken better care of them.
The only problem I with Google Wallet is what if Google reports your paypal earnings to the IRS? Right now I don't think paypal reports your earnings to the IRS so in that case that is cool. Google reports Adsense revenue to the IRS, and I don't know why they wouldn't with Google Wallet
Personally i'd switch immediately from paypal to google wallet. I think paypals fee's are extortion and like other people mension they're customer service is a disgrace. While on the phone to a paypal customer service operator in a call center they told me to email them a complaint, i did, and got an autoresponder back from them. If google can get customer service right then paypal are in deep trouble.
Anyone have any ideas when this will see the light of day. I can't even get a paypal account (at least one where I can receive funds), so if Google brings out something like this soon it would be great.
If you think their fees are extortion you dont want to try StormPay who is extracting 3 times as much from their customers. Others are doing the same. Kevin
I disagree that PayPal sucks. The customer service might be bad in the US, but in the UK I cannot fault them at all. Always quick to respond to emails, and very helpful. It will be very interesting to see what Google offers - I currently use PayPal and NoChex, and would swap NoChex for Google Wallet, without a thought, depending on the charges involved. Darren
I would have to agree with you on this. Paypal has poor customer service overall and there is a group always trying to get your information by imitating them, but they are still overall a good group. I would continue to use both PayPal and Google so as not alienate my customers and increase the base. Kevin
I am in the UK, its good to hear SOMEONE gets good customer service but i still stand by my last post...
Dread you are right about how paypal rips you off. They are even worse than atm machines. But no one answered the question I raised about your earnings being reported to the IRS(if you are not in the US, this doesn't apply to you). If paypal doesn't report you to the IRS, and Google Wallet does, then you will jump out of the fire and into the frying pan. You will probably pay more to the IRS than fees to paypal. Their is no reason for the IRS not to tax Google Wallet or even Paypal earnings if they already don't. They tax just about everything else.
