A DigitalPoint Forum member reports that he sees in his account a "Western Union Quick Cash" payment option from Google. So now this person can receive payment via standard check, Electronic Funds Transfer, Secured Express Delivery check and Western Union Quick Cash.
He posted a very small screen capture as proof.
No one else really sees it, so this must be some limited user test.
The box reads:
If you have selected to receive payments by Western Union Quick Cash, we recommend that you check the amount of your upcoming payment to ensure that it is not over the Western Union payout limitation. Learn more
I wonder where the "Learn More" link goes.

Update: I did some more digging around and spotted that this option has been available in Malaysia. Here are some regional posts on it.
