Unreliable nonsense

Twice so far, I have added my card to Google Pay and removed it.
Having any dealings with Google is like talking to your old wireless Radio (Radios before the new age). Google has no tangible customer service, and no way of contacting, so when things go wrong outside their written computer codes, there is no one to talk to.
Today, I purchased a modem from AliExpress paying with Google Pay. After purchase, I received a message confirming I'd bought an American version known to me, so I managed to cancel the order. Money has been taken from my bank account, but Google doesn't even show the transaction, so what is the point of Google Pay?

Google Wallet cannot be relied on

Google Wallet cannot be relied on. The constant asking for a "ramdom password" to which even Google's staff do not know exactly what they are looking for, is plain ridiculous.

I hate that horrible feeling of "crossing my fingers" with every transaction I do with google wallet ( even though there is plenty of money in my account and on my card) I'm NOT a teenager Google, and ill NOT accept being treated like one!

You can shove your "Wallet That Does Not Work" where the sun does not shine!

Google Pay supports scams

A scam site wanted to know how I would pay after my free trial. I indicated with Google Pay. Nothing went off via Google Pay, but the site debited me directly, meaning Google Pay gave them my bank details. Google Pay is an unsafe payment method, beware.

I made a payment to vstarcam for cloud storage for one year using Google play. The cloud storage wasn't activated by vstarcam, still not activated as I write. I reported this to Google play and they won't refund nor provide any assistance. Customer service appalling.

Badly supporting scammers

There were payments done using google pay and my card which i didn’t authorize. Google support was not there - no one to phone and machine translated email sending me a link to follow that is only working for one hour…. When you write back that nothing they sent is working there comes no answer but a couyof days later a prompt “no fraud detected” . Absolutely insane!! That’s the kind of assistance you receive after being stripped off by 400 Euro. Google pay enables fraud and turns a blind eye on it. There is no interest in detecting scammers or assisting customers (unless you are a scammer… it seems). Bad.

I would give them NO STARS, if I could.

Google Pay Enabling Fraud

Google Pay Enabling Fraud. Happy to store your card credentials and authorise payment to known scammers and their Google's support operations will do nothing to resolve the resulting issues. How is it possible that an organisation of this size can be complicit in such fraud. My advice is to delete account and remove all access to your money, they cannot be trusted to look after it and will not acknowledge their responsibilities. Every Consumer Regulator should be bearing down on this company to stop its irresponsible and incompetent behaviour

Can I give them less than 1 star.

Can I give them less than 1 star.
They won't let me have the money in my account. I have called twice and told 24 to 48 hours for an answer and the answer I got was it would take 2 to 3 weeks now
Worthless

I've given up with Google Pay!

I've given up with Google Pay!
It continually refuses to accept payment, usually when there's a big queue behind you!
Even though Google Wallet is linked to my bank account, with adequate funds available, it either says "payment unsuccessful" or "Fingerprint validation required". I don't have any problem with my debit or credit cards, so the fault must lie with Google.
I have come to the conclusion that Google is too invasive, spying on every aspect of my life; where I've been, how much I've spent (if only it would let me).
Like I say having been refused in a restaurant today was the final straw. If I could opt out of Google entirely, I would.

I would give them zero stars if I could. I reported two unauthorised payments - taken from my debit card - for Google ads: a service that I did not use. I am not a business and have no need of a service such as Google ads. Google refused to reimburse the payment. In hindsight, I should have simply contacted my bank, once it was clear Google weren't interested. I instantly removed my debit card from Google Play and I would never link a card with Google Pay again, ever. I will never use Google Pay again and I would just advise others to be extremely wary.

Google pay is utter garbage, run by people who, it appears to me, haven't a clue what they're doing.

I got a new phone at the end of February (from ID Mobile, another mistake but I'll leave this for now) which was a Google Pixel 7a. So, I thought, 'it's Google Pay on a google phone, how hard can it be??!!’ Impossible as it tuns out. I must have sent/received 50+ emails back and forth, trying to get a card on to Google Pay and it just will not accept one. The meaningless apologies and excuses are tiresome at best, but also damned annoying and patronising. They've blamed everything and everyone but themselves. The time I've spent on this is ridiculous. Several times, and several cards later, all after extensive checks with each bank, all of whom have assured there's nothing wrong with said cards, I've tried and failed to process a payment card on my phone. Google Pay have just made excuses. Now, so I’m told, as this such an unusual case, it’s been given to some team who are, ‘still actively investigating the problem.’ FROM FEBRUARY!!! Wow. This is after several phone calls from their India call centre, all of whom haven’t done anything either.
The most annoying part is being constantly fobbed off, because there must be a problem with this particular handset. My wife’s got a google phone and guess what, Google Pay works on hers!! Wow again, shock horror!!

Thinking of getting out my old Huawei phone and using that again. If anyone’s had the same issue, I’d like to hear from you. Off to sit in a darkened room to cool off……………..

For several months now Google pay has not been working properly on my mobile I have reported it repeatedly and have the same answer every time that they're looking into it they have escalated it to their engineers and they are keen to sort out the problem out. Nothing happens.

if I could give give google pay a zero…

if I could give give google pay a zero I would. Backstory, I have no google account and no google pay account. But somehow my Citibank credit card in australia was cloned into an android phone in London and someone activated google pay. Bingo one hour later google had $23000 deducted from my credit card in five transactions. the transactions were pinging up on my phone. It took me 30 minutes to get through to a Human at Citibank to shut the card down. Ok the transactions were fraudulent. no doubt of that. but google pay bypassed all the two step checks I had in place for transferring funds. and get this according to the bank they can't stop the transaction even though money had been not been sent and was in a transaction pending account. google won't talk to me as I am not the account holder so I can't actually file complaint. you would have to have rocks in your head to willingly let google access your bank account. period. my advice is go old school cash only and if no option and you have to use a credit card then don't use one with say a $3k limit on it. so if account does get hacked you don't get cleaned out. I will resolve it in my favour but it's going to take me 2 months of my time just to deal with this nonsense. just avoid. period. do not use google anything. as there is no-one to call when your bank account gets emptied. you can't send a message, no email, no chat, no phone number. google policy is they won't stop a fraudulent transaction even if they know its fraudulent. You can only file a complaint on a completed transaction because an uncompleted transaction is not fraudulent. .. so you have to allow yourself to be robbed so then you actually have a methodology to complain about it. that makes no sense . do not use google.
