Paypal vs. Google Wallet & others

[jaywood]

I have seen some payments going through google wallet lately...everyone accepts paypal though. Haven't seen too many people taking google wallet.

Will there be a change soon? Is google wallet possibly going to take over?


Discuss.

I believe so.Google usually has the upperhand in the world market (sans China lawlz).
Paypal is big around here too. My aunt knows the owner, another Northern califorian persian.

Paypal seems to be big anywhere you go. I just wish they had some legit competition (as well as eBay)

Paypal is your pay pal

Google wallet hasent exactly impacted the market yet, mainly cause its so late in the game. Its gotten to the point that people only know paypal. Its going to be difficult for google to get the word out. Let alone getting people to use it. Its difficult to get people to switch when companies already use paypal.

I disagree, google being as big as they are will get attention from news whenever they release something.

google does have the market cornered on advertising (as I browse r3v via chrome). paypal fees kill me, I hope they have a competitor

This, and their fees went up again. It is more than 4% now, once was 3%.
A lot of the business I do on here with me feedback and rep I have people just gift the payment to avoid fees. Not a single person has had an issue.
But that is not always the case with noobs that try and sell here. Gifted Monkey Madness yesterday and saved myself 32.00 in fees for paypal.

paypal isnt accepted everywhere online, if google wallet could get one major place that doesnt use paypal like amazon for example they could have a chance, i use paypal almost exclusively as i dont have a bank account or credit card but some places dont accept them and therfore i dont buy from them unless i can borrow a credit card like when i order from amazon or bma just to name a few

Not everywhere, but honestly I have a hard time finding a place that does not take paypal. Not that I mind because I don't pay a fee with ebay or other style of online payments. Only time I find a fee is with payments between two people online. IE parts on here etc.
I feel safer with Paypal than entering my CC information to a website.

I know Blunttech and GPS use Google vs Paypal. I have never received a payment from Google wallet. Do they take a fee like paypal?

The fees I usually see from PayPal are credit card transactions only. I believe you can get away with using a bank transfer to pay to avoid the fee regardless of the transaction.

They will never partner with Amazon.Amazon is their enemy. I know this because my father its a upper employee there. As in at HQ here in Seattle.

Google Wallet is like Google+ I think. Facebook was first and now no one uses Google+ and the same will be for Google Wallet.

unfortunately for me I own a business, have a business bank account, paypal is registered to my business, etc. Don't think gifting would work much
