Rebates with Gbuy
Gbuy seems to offer rebate discounts for the users. This is Google's strategy to get information of consumers'. They require you to get rebate discounts via mail, mail-in rebate system. By doing so, Google can build valuable offline databases of consumer information.
This rebate system is another great way to attract consumers. Initially, Google can get many people into its new payment system even with this strategy only.
They may also offer an referral, affiliate program to encourage people to join Gbuy. It is of course a great way to promote Gbuy. Or they may fund few $ when you join just like Paypal used to do some time ago.
Review Online Payments
The Internet became an important part of people's lives today. Besides the TV, and phones (cell phones), the Internet is a critical mean of communication, information. So, consumers today use the Internet to shop, bank and invest online. Most of them use credit or debit cards to pay when they shop online, but other payment methods, online payment systems are becoming more common.
It is obvious that the goal of any online payment system is at the convenience, making purchase easier and simpler. These payment systems work just like a credit card or debit card account. The only difference is that the transaction is done online via browser.
We all should make sure that the transactions are secure and your personal information is protected. Identity theft is becoming a big problem today, and hackers are always trying their best to steal any personal information they can. Let's think about the browser we all use.
Browser's security is the most important factor. It doesn't matter how good policy and services the payment system company has if your browser is not safe setting. The most easiest thing you can do for your browser's security settings is to make sure your browser has the most up-to-date encryption capabilities. You can do that by using the latest version available from the manufacturer. Usually you can download the important updates at their home pages.
Gbuy for Google Base
Users of Google Base - a surfers can peruse listings of items for sale, will be able to use GBuy free of charge. This should be the quickest way and the most convenient way to buy/sell online because you do not have to leave Google web page.
Google Base, just like other Google's services is still in beta. Gbuy will be also in beta, of course, for Google and members to see how it would go. The most common question is its security and customer services.
Paypal's current customer services aren't so bad. But then they can not really deal with each individual issue because of a huge number of users. Of course this is one of the biggest reasons that many current Paypal users, including ex-Paypal-users, are ready to join Gbuy.
If Google can provide a better service in a professional way of taking care of their customers than PayPal'’s, it will be a major shift in online payment system industries, and e-commerce.
What is Gbuy?
Gbuy is Google's payment system. It will be launched in June 28th. Many people are waiting for its release, wanting to know how Gbuy would work and why Gbuy could be better than Paypal.
Paypal has been the biggest online payment system for the longest time in the Internet. eBay and Paypal dominate e-commerce today, but this new move by Google may be something we all should watch out. If Google succeed to its advertising campaign with Gbuy, it can grow very fast. The charge is lower than Paypal, at least for a while, attracting thousands of people.
It is obvious that the people who had bad experiences with Paypal would jump into Gbuy quickly. However, among the current eBay users, they have already showed their interest in this new payment system - especially among eBay sellers, many of them are ready to sign up for Gbuy.
Besides the lower charge than Paypal, for Gbuy to be successful, Google has to offer other better services. One of the advantages could be their promotion with Froogle. Users will be able to sell, buy much easier because they do not have to leave Google. This really can be smoother and quicker transaction than that of eBay-Paypal. Google itself is currently the best search engine, and definitely better than search function at eBay. Though Paypal has been offering fair services, the charge is a little high. eBay sellers know this.
We all want to know Gbuy's potential and future. Nobody can predict, but if many eBay sellers switched to Gbuy, it would be a matter of time for them to use Froogle. Since most Paypal holder are eBay sellers, this could mean a huge change. Gbuy-Google vs. Paypal-eBay. Who's going to win?
