Google to rival PayPal
Google is preparing an online-payment system that would compete with PayPal, according to an online retailer who has been approached by Google to take part in the effort.
In addition to representing a direct challenge to eBay, which owns PayPal, the largest Internet payment system, the move signals Google’s intention to become much more deeply involved in online commerce.
Google’s flagship search engine and its Froogle shopping service are significant sources of customers for Internet stores. But so far, Google’s only way to profit from its presence in online shopping is by selling advertisements that appear next to its search results and on Froogle pages.
it is said that google will not compete in Paypal turf (but actually I hope it does), maybe ppl can buy stuff on ebay with revenue from google. Anyway, one monopoly is never good, competition is always good for us!
