Google Checkout, the next big thing?

[RussellTwagner]

Since google released google checkout, a website like paypal, do you think google checkout will start to grow more and more frequently then paypal? because recently I've been noticing on websites payment options of paypal AND google checkout. Well I'm probaly going to signup for it tonight and see how I like it, I hope it's better then paypal. If you use google checkout, tell us your experience.

Well, Gmail is the No 1 Email now IMO, though it's more recent than other alternatives. Google just knows how to do things right. I expect Google Checkout to make a big success.

Yeah, most of Google's services are only released once they are certain they are the best in the market. I believe Google Checkout, particularly, is going to be successful as it offers many of the advantages of paypal minus all of the fraud and chargebacks.

I certainly hope so! I'm sure Paypal is so scared right now.

Checkout won't beat PayPal. Look at all the companies that have tried and are still trying.

As It is always said that it is beginner's luck, so Paypal is not have to worry about it, the market place it has is not going to be with any new company either Google or whatever.

I agree with that.

Google still has a long way to go to take over this market. I highly doubt you'll see Google the leader in under 5 years. I personally hope that they are never the leader.
