A few months ago, this signing up for Greenzap was all the rage. I think I'll sign up and blow the $25 on something, but I won't be using it to transfer funds anywhere. It doesn't have as big of a name nor respectability that Paypal does, so it will take time before I trust it.

That's not what I'm talking about. As I explained to Java, it's not the name I was talking about, but the use of the "z" in their links (as explained in the post above yours).

The name is fine. But the use of "z" in words such as "auctionz", "sectionz", "storez", "newz"...stuff like that. It's definite overkill.

is this better then pay pal? i remember a post here that paypal got hacked and i closed my account with them.. hail.gif I trust you guys. thats why i did that
does this company have a better scurity? i dont know.. educomate me! lol

what you think guys.. who should i roll with

forget the Z in it, think about it!

Green-Zap sounds like it's going to Zap your Green away! think about it for a second! Zap!, your green is gone! haha.gif

Like I said in the first post Paypal started out the same way... small. Once they acquired XBank they got big, but eBay bought them now so that is why they are extremely popular. Greenzap has a good plan I think with the retail stores accepting webcash. I am sure the free $25 and $5 for your freinds signing up will be gone as soon as the retail site portion comes online. What I did was register and send out my link, I have not entered any bank information and am not going to send real money to my account until later when they get everything up and running.

Does anybody know where I can spend GreenZap webcash?

As soon as it is available you will be able to spend it at ebay and some online retail sites.

I'm under java, heres my link

http://www.greenzap.com/join-greenza...d=sportman1280

java u may want to start a list of links for ppl who sign up on different pages, just an idea.


edit: also how do i know what auctions i can use it for and what yahoo stores use it?

Warning Guys!

Found a ton of info on other sites and several debates arguing that this may be a scam.

Here is a link from the BBB: http://www.sandiego.bbb.org/commonreport.h...compid=20007693

I can't say for certain if they are a scam, but I definitely don't trust it anymore. I knew there was something fishy about that site...didn't I tell you?!?! lol

You won't lose any money if you don't go gold (and when you go gold, the $100 you paid is NOT spendable! it's gone after that), but you I highly doubt your well-earned "webcash" will be usable to get anything.

Seems like people are getting "zcammed".
