Google Checkout is not for sending money by email.

Check out the FAQ first

Paypal seems always has problems!

Don't we all? :D

 

[RickM]

Bah! I knew it was too good to be true.

It is not cool because they accept only sellers from USA
It is like there is no life outside USA

There is life outside the USA? that is news to me

Google is big brother. I want them to have a real competitor.

Google = Microsoft of the web

We don't need opinions from closed-minded Texans who never travelled beyond the desert :kickass: :lol: j/k

This seems like a really good payment system, it appears it accepts buyers/customers from ALL countries, even though sellers right now limited only from the US. We're going to try this out and see if it works well, instead of expensive 2Checkout transaction fees!

It's basically like a shopping cart service. There has to be specific support setup for it. Yes, it could be put into ebay, but I highly doubt that they would allow this to happen.

google have a press release about the new service at

http://www.google.com/press/pressrel/checkout.html

Google Checkout helps merchants streamline the checkout process and also works with Google's advertising program, AdWords, so merchants can attract more customers and increase sales. The Google Checkout icon on AdWords advertisements makes it easier for shoppers to find Google Checkout stores when they search. Once shoppers buy with Google Checkout, AdWords advertisers can also process all or a portion of their sales for free. For every $1 merchants spend on AdWords, they can process $10 in sales through Google Checkout at no charge

Gosh, only US residents accepted

 

[DJ-Sound]

its useless to me, unless they decided to add a subscription feature

Most google services start off as U.S. only. It shouldn't take long until the rest of us get it as well.

You make an excellent point Peter and remember that this service would likely be in the Beta stages if it weren’t related to financial services.

Well, when it finally goes international, I think it might be a good idea for us domain sellers to use it as a credit card gateway since the fees is lesser than Paypal. However, I still prefer the Paypal model as it makes it easier to send and recieve money.

That said, the Google model still has the potential to be succesful for other needs.
