Google Checkout from Paypal if Google ever make this kind of paying system ?

It is getting really annoying for us who cannot receive money through Paypal so I am waiting for this one.

What will you do. Will you switch.

I hope also that google will make it possible to transfer adsense earnings to the system

Direct deposit works fine, but I do think that Google should give another payout option like PayPal. I'm guessing that Google doesn't want to make PayPal payout option available simply because they want to offer their version of PayPal only.

Google sure has the resources to do that and I really hope they will offer this kind of service. If they do I bet the next thing is that they will start selling something Very Happy

I'm not that crazy about their future, and I mentioned a couple of times in this forum already, but I don't know why so many people think Google is such an amazing company. I mean, search engine is the only product that has a solid market share and creates a platform to generate revenue, i.e., AdWords. Google has nothing else right now. Yahoo has a bunch of revenue sources. So does Microsoft. Even eBay does more than just online auction. What's so special about Google? Google has no track record other than SE + AdWords.

Well still Google makes more than competitors. It is not that people think it is such amazing company. Simple thing is that people believe and trust google. And they have a lot of other products.
I find this one very good and with bright future

Probably just acquired some company and branded as "Google XYZ ..."

Well, I should let this go for now ... I can go on and on.

With regard to the original post, I think that Google should just make PayPal payout option available. I think that's what many publishers want, so why not do that?

Well from your point of view ok, but what about us who can't receive payments through paypal ? Twisted Evil

I have to use moneybookers which is great payment system but online business is made through paypal mostly and no one wants to join moneybookers just to pay you 10 dollars for a link.

And when google announce their payment system be sure that a lot of people will switch to theirs and they will get a lot of new customers who cannot use paypal !

I'll take a look at it, see what it has to offer, and possibly use it.

PayPal is not aggressively localizing its platform; they really should. That would help everyone, I mean, everyone. Retrospectively speaking, I wonder what would've happened if eBay didn't acquire PayPal.

Any competition for paypal is good, multiple options is obviously better (in a similar vien I long to see a non US alternative to adsense). I've also heard of people having their accounts limited by paypal once they reach a certain ammount of turnover. Has anyone had any experience of that?

What do you mean by "turnover" specifically?

Well from what I read on sitepoint forums, once they hit a certain money figure, possibly transactions via paypal or receiving payments. They weren't totally clear in their post though so that's all I know.

Sure there must be some limit until you are verified by paypal !
They have this on moneybookers. You cannot have transactions bigger that 1200 dollars I think and there is time limit also 90 days !

I will probably not switch for a long time. I have everything set up nicely in PP. It will take even Google a couple of years to get everything figured out and all of the bugs out.

And as the PP limiting thing, you have to get verified which is not difficult at all and if you are reputable then you shouldn't worry about giving PP your phone number. That is pretty nmuch all it takes then they call you with the activation number. Oh yeah you have to have a bank account attached too.

So it is definitely only unverified accounts that have limits?
