You have to look at it from Google’s point of view, look at the merchants they signed up, very big ones. With millions of dollars being processed via credit cards daily, Google will soon take a % of the pie. Is that a bad deal for Google? No, not at all, wait till their financials come out showing real dollars. As far as being a pay pal killer, no but I am sure they took a chunk out of pay pal, authorize, 2 checkout, etc..

Bear in mind, people tend to trust Google as well, respectful company with great financials and a large king of the internet. It’s a brand, it’s a trust factor and I have yet to hear a Google check out horror story. I have heard a lot of pay pal horror stories though.
