I’m a bit late on finding this out, but apparently eBay has banned Google Checkout from being used to pay for its auctions.รย Something about it being “too new.”รย Which is perhaps code for “we don’t want to let our PayPal have any real competition especially with Google so we came up with a lame excuse.”รย I don’t actually purchase from eBay often, but next time I log in I may hit their feedback page and let them know I don’t appreciate their decision. I’m trying to get to bed now, so I’m not going to hop over there at this precise moment :-)
Thanks to Robert Accettura’s link for the story, which is also carried over at theunofficialgoogleweblog.
