This would be very nice for the Netherlands since creditcards are uncomen here and Paypal is widely used!

@Chris above: If you call your bank you can get them to allow debit card purchases for overseas transactions, I did it to buy PolarBit’s games from the UK, which were in Euros.

I hope that means Market will come to my country at some point. Actually GC accepts payments from Latvia (I payed for an MMO game with it), but Market is now availabe :(

I’m sure this will boost market buys!
You don’t often own a credit card if you are under 18 here in Germany, well generally germans don’t own them often, as they are not often used.

@Peter – Here (in the Netherlands) you can already get paid apps on the Marketplace by using Google Checkout, but that means you have to have a credit card and that’s the problem. It’s not as common over here to pay with a credit card and it’s one of the reasons why my brother can’t get paid apps from the Android Marketplace for example. A payment option that does not require the use of a credit card, like Paypal for example, means that a lot more people over here can purchase apps from the Marketplace.

My debit card won’t accept payments in Euros through Google Checkout, so hopefully this will resolve that issue. For instance, I couldn’t get Twidroid full version earlier because of it.

If this means I can get paid apps here without rooting the phone or hunting down each from the dev’s website, I think this is a great idea!

If paypal allows me to provide a coupon code to people, so I can give out a paid app for free, I’d totally use them.

Umm, why not in Germany? Can’t see any reasons for this.

Depending on how it works (ie its essentially the same for the user) I’d swap to paypal. I can then leave the money in there to build up and use it to pay for things which is something I cannot do with Google.
