Default Paypal Competition: Greenzap

Hello, I stumbled across a new concept/alternative to paypal.

Green zap is a new site that opens up in june, and they intend to be a paypal type site, that rewards you with money for referals.

They justify being able to do this, by explaining that it costs companies like paypal a lot of money to advertise and get their name out, and instead of spending money on things like advertising, they simply pay you for referals you give them.

Until they open up they are giving $25 dollars just for preregistering (this will show up in your account when they open). They also give you $5 dollars for every referal you get them. THey have extended ammounts too for after they open.

Check it out, and I look forward to its release. After its release I plan to make a paying subscription system for vb3 as well.

Not like this, read their information. They have great potential to compete with paypal, specialy if they have better selling tools, which woulnt be too hard to do. Im hoping for lower payment acceptment fees too.

I hope so, I really have been ripped by paypal many times. Hell I have to send a copy of my software to people by cd now, just so they cant tell paypal they didnt recive it, when I see in their account that they downloaded it.
