Has anyone sent/received gifts with Google Wallet?

I’m aware of only one model who’ve used it. If safe enough, it's possibly another revenue stream. According to the FAQ, gwallet has no fees except a 2.9% charge on credit card usage

I’d like to know if anyone has used the service can share what you’ve come across, any issues you’ve encountered, or specific details unique from the other money-wiring services. I’m buying less tokens these days since they’re damn expensive.

I’m also gonna assume, much like paypal, giftrocket, and amazon... gwallet will void any transaction if they’re suspicious of sex work.

I use this! All the time, it's totally replaced paypal for me. I wish it could be used out of the US..

Also, adult transactions/pornography is not mentioned within the terms and conditions... so, not ..not allowed.


Your real name is also not shared, all that is shared is an email address.

I remember when signing up for Google Shopping Express, it required signing up for Google Wallet, which required to input my credit card info.

Hypothetically speaking, if i were to gift money to a model, she's required to input her CC or bank acct info into the system first before receiving anything?

if this isn't a secure idea, then i'll abandon it

She must put in her bank account info to move it from google wallet to.. world, yes.. just like paypal, really.

I've been using this for months, have the debit card.. No issues so far.

FYI, I just stumbled upon something which makes Google Wallet a bit risky: content policies (While this link is to the business terms of service, it's linked as well from the User terms of use, under section 6.2 related to peer to peer transfers )

"Offensive goods Goods, literature, products, or other materials that:" ... "Contravene public morality"

(Gotta love vague definitions like that)

This came from someone I talked to who received a warning from Google asking for clarification on what the transactions actually were for: it seems the message included the word 'donation' which triggered some alert related to this. They didn't take any drastic action yet, but I'll keep an eye on this.
