So what did Watchdog have to say about Paypal?

[Marcos]

And was it a recent study or a study of the old paypal?

If its so bad why doesnt anyone cash in on creating a new, better competitor to paypal?

 

[m3csl2004]

because it would run into the same problems and it wouldnt be used anyway as ebay own paypal and there not exactly gonna dump there own company

I think PayPal is good TBH, what like, 80 million users i think?

Few thousand complaints is nothing in that respect

Gpay / Gbuy / Gcash or whatever its called is a competitor, from Google.

and even if its not a main competitor can force Paypal into a pricing / feature war.

People who benefit? US

That's like saying "setup a competitor to ebay if you don't like it". It's a good idea in theory, but very very few are in a position to be able to push such a product: microsoft and google perhaps... but even yahoo who are a massive internet company have struggled to get their auction system off the ground. Once you reach a critical mass, the product sells itself because enough people use it to make having an account worthwhile.

It will be simple for Google to implant it into ebay all they need is for the buyers to put a button on there auction to pay like Nochex and the escrow services

I thought the problem with paypal was internal? not its users
