Title: bai bai paypal!

Finally an alternative to Paypal. So long are the days of botched transactions, withheld funds, and a piss poor customer service, from Paypal.

i hate paypal, i bought some stuff with it and it was ****ing pending for like a week before they even shipped. i used my debit card and i got my item in about 5 days. why do we need middlemen like google and paypal, because people are stupid and like to spend their money in the least effietient way possible.

Don't expect any better service from Google. You were warned.

I have used Paypal for years with no problems, and I don't see why this Google Checkout thing will be better anyway.

Umm, I've had no problems w/ Paypal, and I use my debit card with it sometimes.  Maybe the bank is to blame in some of those circumstances above.  I've had my bank not credit my account for like a week when I deposited a check.  Oh, and what's wrong w/ ebay?  Haven't had a problem there either.

paypal sucks because its a middleman, which tends to make financial transfers slower. i bought 2 things off ebay about a month ago, and they both took about 5 days to clear before they even shipped. then again i rodered some stuff like 2 days ago, and i ordeded like at 2 am, and all my stuff shipped the very next morning.

ebay sucks because i know were most of that crap they sell comes from. most of it is pawn shop merchandise. i, having worked as a seller for a pawn shop know this. its a good way to make items, which are known to have been stolen, disapear. i swear my boss used it as a front to peddal weed. anyway it aslo suffers from the immature whorage that anything with a points system tends to create.
