eBay has added Google Checkout to the list of payment options banned on eBay. A recent update to the Accepted Payments Policy includes Google Checkout (click on ‘Show’ next to ‘Some Examples’ to reveal the list). More comments on this action can be found at the eBay Strategies Blog.
I guess the question is… who didn’t see this coming? It’s no surprise that eBay/PayPal has a monopoly on their hands, which sucks because consumers will continue paying PayPals rediculous rates. Maybe we will see Google sue?
