Paypal wouldn't be anywhere near as successful if it wasn't for eBay, so I think it will be very difficult for Google to capture a significant proportion of the market. But having said that, Google seem to have a knack of doing things better than the competition, so it will be interesting to see how they compare. T
It would be nice if google came out with the debit card like paypal and also did a direct deposit of Adsense earnings into your account. Now that would make me happy! It would be a wast is they didn't at least give the option.
I believe you will see this all soon. With the recent opening of the EFT from google adsense now you most likely will see this carry over to their new payment system. The card will be their next logical step. Kevin
PayPal, at least in the U.S., has HORRIBLE customer service! They freezed my account with over $900 in it and I've faxed all of my information in - social security number, driver's license, utility bills, etc and they haven't responded for over 2 months now. They like to freeze accounts with money in it for them to earn an interest on...I've seen cases of peoples' $20,000 frozen for up to a year! That's BLASPHEMY.
You know that is pretty scary when you think about it. I hope they at least gave you some reason for doing this. I know I would be upset.
Or maybe even come up with a Visa paycard for all Adsense earnings. something like paypal and ikobo combined... that would be nice!
