    Competetion is always a good thing, hopefully it'll drive the unfair charges down a bit.

    I know I'll go with whoever charges less.

    I've always had a good experience with paypal? The only thing negative I can say about them are the charges, which tbh aint that bad considering what they are offering.

    Their scam protection thing is woefully inadequate. I've got ripped off in the past and they've made the situation worse every single time. I've even been accused of being a scammer after being scammed.

    The fees are annoying but necessary i suppose. If google does it cheaper i know where i'll go and especially if they offer proper scam protection. Competition has never been a bad thing.

    Yes, Pope, I liked your wallet image. ;)

    Haven't used paypal in a bit, but figure that competition usually brings innovation and lower prices, so I'm all for it.

    it will be cool to see what google will do. :D

    i also think it would be awsome if you could buy a black wallet that said google on it that would be uber 1337. reminds me of the fact that they still do not make a black leather wallet that says BAD ASS MOTHER****** on it lol. but they do sell it in other cloers :sigh:
