Google is trying to create their own payment system. It hasn't gotten much traction. Why don't they go ahead and support countries throughout the world (if they want to leave out a FEW places like North Korea that would be fine)? Seems to me that then they would have a ready-made constituency. Not to mention pleasing a huge number of Android developers. Yet they don't do this... Why? There must be something difficult or dangerous about it, but what? Does anyone know the answer?

- robgough 16y agoIs it also worth pointing out that Google isn't exactly known for it's high level of customer service. Is there any reason to think they won't be just as bad as PayPal if they had the same number of customers. I can't believe there isn't a better option yet, it's not like PayPal have suddenly become worse. Stories like this have been around for years.
