Strange, I'd have thought they'd spend more time promoting Google Wallet, I've used this for years with Play Store and it works great.

Fair enough, I guess. They must assume it's in their best interest, presumably, and calculate (probably rightly) that their weakling (Wallet) is going to .... erm .... 'struggle' agaihst the 800lb gorilla that is PayPal.

Personally, it doesn't much matter. I was never going to give personally identifying data to Google, Wallet or otherwise, and recently closed my PayPal account because of the changes in their T&Cs to automatically renewing credit card mandates. I WILL NOT, under ANY circumstances, give ANYBODY a recurring credit card mandate. Ever.

Which is why I won't touch Netflix. If I could buy a year upfront, I would. But they won't let me. For Spotify I buy myself gift cards for this very reason.

Useful, I prefer using paypal online over a credit/debit card.

Not available in my country yet. Hmm... But this is still nice.

I still mourn the loss of google checkout... google often don't push proudcts, then mothball them.
Though google+ is an exception, as they're pushing that all the time !
