No Google Checkout for eBay Sellers Can't beat them - exclude them: 'eBay bans sellers from using Google Checkout' thus looks pretty concerned about the impact it could have on its own PayPal payment service and admits that Google Checkout is a potentially significant competitor to PayPal.

Google offers financial incentives to merchants for accepting Google Checkout: 'For every $1 you spend on AdWords, you can process $10 in sales for free through Google Checkout' ergo targets merchants to advertise at Google, which is a pretty clear motivation and a clever stratey to attract new merchants, not to exclude any merchants.

eBay is using its market dominance in online auctions to limit competition in the online payments market although a growing number of consumers are skeptical of using PayPal. I'm pretty convinced that there is a huge consumer demand for new payment technologies and from a consumer perspective I don't understad why they do it.

• Clever Checkout for eCommerce Platforms: Google Checkout
• Why not Using Online Payments to Checkout?

Once the NYTimes wrote: 'More than 37 percent of bills are paid by check; 35 percent are paid online. The remaining 28 percent are paid with cash, debit cards or other payment methods'.

It's time to get onto a path the Web can really improve one's life.
