Bye-Bye PayPal? Google To Launch Online Payment Service
Wall Street Journal Rumors Reported Worldwide

The Wall Street Journal reported it first, then Reuters and The Associated Press picked up on the possibility: what if Google is about to eclipse PapPal by introducing its very own online payment service?

Google isn't commenting. Yet. But analysts immediately began speculating what the impact on eBay might be, since PayPal brought the company 23% of its revenue during the first quarter of this year. That's a $233.1M revenue stream that would possibly be halved, or worse, if Google entered the arena.

The Wall Street Journal report included the following:

"For Google, based in Mountain View, Calif., a payment service could represent a significant expansion beyond online advertising, which generated 99 percent of its $3.2 billion in revenue last year."
The Journal reported that rumors about such a new payment service being something Google is planning arose from a panel discussion at a Piper Jaffray Internet conference on Thursday.

I HATE Paypal please tell me about the new service

Google offering an online payment system, is the BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD ALL YEAR, and we will definitely change from Pay Pal to Google in an absolute flash! Pay Pal are not worth the fees they charge and I have no doubt Google's online payment service will be excellent, and they have already won our business!! Excellent.
