Googles electronic payment system. Nice read.
 

This would be great if google followed through on this. It could really be a huge revenue booster if it works out right. I hope it puts paypal out of business.


MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. ? Google, looking for new revenue sources, is reportedly about to launch an online payment system that might compete with eBay Inc.'s PayPal electronic payment system.
The move by Google could catapult the online advertising company?s revenue far past its $3.2 billion in revenue it earned last year, particularly if it includes processed charges for adult content sites.

Google, which declined to comment to XBiz on Monday regarding a possible electronic payment system, makes millions from adult and mainstream paid search results on Google.com.

Exact details of Google?s PayPal-like service aren't known, but one report said it would be rolled out by the end of the year.

Consumers like PayPal for the security it offers, since it allows them to share their credit- and debit-card numbers only with PayPal without having to divulge the information to merchants of products and services.

But PayPal in recent years cut off adult transactions through their terms of service agreements. Nevertheless, some online adult companies ? particularly those in the amateur market ? still use PayPal with the risk of having their accounts closed and funds seized.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company two months ago filed to incorporate a California corporation called Google Payment Corp., although it isn't known whether that is linked to Google's payment-service plans.

Google currently accepts credit-card payments for some services, including advertisements and customized research. Its website said the company eventually will allow consumers to pay to view videos online.

That would be really nice, because PAY PAL SUCKS ASS! But I hope that they will process adult.

It seems to me that is what they are going after. They know every adult site in the world would probably use it. I bet within a day of its launch every adult webmaster will be all over it. No way in hell they would turn that down unless they got some stupid investors. Maybe its time to buy some more google stock.

Nice...More competition the better.

Google wallet?

badass

fuck you paypal and epassporte

That would be very nice. Their revenue would double thanks to us.

Nothing beats ePassporte yet.

I think they suck too!

"No way in hell they would turn that down "

Paypal did.. you think the only reason for that is because they like to bug us?

I think it would be a waste of time for them if they didn't do adult. From what I hear they are pretty cool with the adult industry.

thank god, a decent alternative to pay pal.

If they do adult ... they will kill ccbill and paycom ... :(

till they realise how much of a problem it is

They don't accept adult on AdSense.

I don't think google with have any problems with it.

It's about time some serious competitor to paypal entered the market, can't wait for google to launch this...
