google wallet--a competitor to eBay's PayPal

I do like paypal, but I'm looking forward to seeing what google can come up with that's better. They keep coming out with cool stuff...

 

Will ebay ever allow transactions through Google's new payment system? That's where it all started.

Exactly... it's doubtful considering ebay owns paypal now. That is why paypal is so popular. Good point

 

Well after Google Wallet they will just have to come out with G-bay

 

Nice! LOL

 

Google Inc. this year plans to offer an electronic-payment service that could help the Internet-search company diversify its revenue and may put it in competition with eBay Inc.'s PayPal unit, according to people familiar with the matter.

Exact details of the search company's planned service aren't known. But the people familiar with the matter say it could have similarities with PayPal, which allows consumers to pay for purchases by funding electronic-payment accounts from their credit cards or checking accounts.

Some consumers like PayPal for the security it offers, since it allows them to share their banking or credit-card numbers only with PayPal without having to divulge the information to merchants.
Officials of Google and PayPal declined to comment.

I love and hate PayPal ... love it because so many websites I deal with accept it ... hate it for dealing with digital product downloads and their freaking IPN programming. Can't wait for GWallet!

 

amen I cant wait for g wallet

 

It will be nice to have G-bay

 

thatd be really useful if they transfered our adsense earnings to g wallet.

 

I like the paypal debit card too, i hope google has that option.... it owns

Although im not very happy with the paypal chargebacks...

 

What's the deal with resurrecting ancient threads the last two days ?

 

Well i can't wait if they use it with adsense that would rock it!

 

still google needs to prove his name
