There is absolutely no need to worry about Google Checkout being a threat to Paypal.

As a member of its checkout forum I can safely say that anyone thinking of using the system needs to not be taken by the hype and BS theat surrounds Google.

There is no product back up whatsoever. Google will cancel your account refund money to the customer even if you have proof of despatch without so much as a exact reason why. No warning nor advice or telling what the actual problem is.

If you have a enquiry FORGET about direct human Google contact. You have no recoarse if anything goeas wrong. you have no back up. All you have is this Lybrinth of usless facts that do not apply to your system. Google never reads the feedback anyway.

I strongly WARN ANYONE AGAINST USING GOOGLE CHECK OUT.

To the kind soles who devote their time to solving problems for others on the Checkout forum google should be greatful. Min, big gyph and others really dotry find solutions but in most cases their are few valid answers.

If anyone is wondering why I am a memeber of the Google checkout forum. Well the answer is sinple. ONCE REGISTERED GOOGLE HAS YOU FOR LIFE. No matter how many times you try to unsubscribe you are ignored.

“Er, you might need to fire the people that are keeping an eye on Google Checkout for you.”- Andy Beal

I wonder if they are hiring…I can see the competition but I’d rather work for Google than Paypal anyday.

Isn’t denial a beautiful thing? This would be like Coke and Pepsi denying they were competitors.

Why on earth would they really do this? Surely it can’t be that they don’t realize it, so what are they denying exactly? What event are they avoiding?

Has there been one article about Google Checkout that hasn’t mentioned / compared them to PayPal? Not many, that would lead me to think that there may be some overlap there…

are these companies for real? they must be kidding that they are not competitors…I have used both and I definitely think of one as a substitute of the other…maybe they are just hoping each will believe their nonsense

I do the same exact thing, I send invoices (in fact in the latest survey they sent out, one suggestion I had was to move the “send an invoice” link from behind the Settings tab) to people because Checkout is fee-free until the end of the year. It’s definitely a payment system… I just wonder how many small timers like me are going to stick after the freebie goes away.

Hmm, hadn’t used Google Checkout before, but decided to give it a spin after reading your post. Unfortunately it only seems to be available for sellers in the U.S. so not much use to me just yet. Maybe in the future …
