Google Wallet
11 years ago
General
Hey everyone,
I just really wanted to spread the word about Google Wallet. I've seen a lot of artists around who only accept PayPal as means of payment for commissions, but at the same time I've seen a lot of them getting their accounts frozen or banned because of stupid reasons. Obviously, that isn't fair for anyone. I've never really liked PayPal and they've even done that BS to me.
So with that said, I would like you guys to try out Google Wallet instead as an alternative. Now, hear me out, its a much better alternative to PayPal. It works almost exactly the same, but with some key differences. Its directly linked to your google account, you can enter in either your bank info or just a debit/credit card, and at any given point in time, you can ask for a refund. Now I know this sounds exactly like PayPal, but here's an even better thing, there's no additional fees for sending money. AND you can even use the app as a means of paying for items at some stores incase you forget your own physical wallet.
So I really urge all of you to try it out for yourself. Get the word spread and mention it to other artists. I would really like to see this app/system spread around because I'm so sick of all the stupid things that PayPal keeps doing. Thanks for reading :>

I'd like to say thank your for mentioning this. I took a quick look at this and I am thinking about using this. I am an artist that accepts payment only though PayPal at the moment (and sometimes though cash if the person getting a commission can be met in person) and I know that some people do not like using PayPal because of their stupid rules...so if this Google wallet can truly be used like PayPal can be used then I might also allow payment though Google wallet as well.

Basically, if you already have a gmail account, you're set. You can load prepaid cards into your account if you'd like, or even put in your credit/debit cards in there. Some stores even accept if you just use the app itself. In short, all you need to send or receive money is an email address. Punch it in, enter the amount you're sending, and done. Simple as that. You can use the money anywhere
