I'd like to know if it's possible to use Google checkout with your service in eBay?

To use Google Checkout, you need our CART BUTTONS. However, eBay does not let you use our buttons. So, for eBay our only integration is with the native payment method they offer - PayPal.



Some merchants do sell on eBay and then send buyers an invoice from their Google Checkout account. That works well for tangible items. However if you want to sell digital items, what you can do it is to send the purchase link you get from E-junkie to your buyer either manually or using an auto-responder.

Google Checkout is banned on eBay and can lead to your account being suspended.



You cannot even use a custom checkout which accepts payment by Google Checkout.



Please see the following link and expand (show) the 'Some Examples' section: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/accepted-payments-policy.html

Basically PayPal is an eBay company and they don't want to loose thier business to competitors. Officially they say that Google Checkout has not got a proven track record that consumers can trust.



Thats my opinion anyway
