rohitj.... you say good for Ebay for keeping what they are claiming could be an inscure payment method from being used in order to protect their clients, but let me ask you this...

In X amount of time, if Google payment continues to work properly and has a "proven track record", do you feel Ebay will then go ahead and allow Google payments in Ebay transactions?

I don't think they will, perhaps that is the skeptic in me but if the reason they gave for this move is true then we should see them make G payments allowable in some amount of time as long as there is no big scandel with G payments. I don't think that will happen, I think they will continue to disallow G payments as a method for Ebay transactions.

Again why not just shamelessly promote your payment service, there is nothing wrong with cutting out the competition, just don't try to tell me they aren't secure, G does how much in adsense payments a month? They had 1 currency convertion problem that I remeber which was all corrected in due time. I just don't see calling Google "unproven" when it comes to dealing with payments to be an accruate statement.

Kevin... you are right I do know the difference and perhaps the masses don't.... but why tell the masses that G payments isn't good enough for them, clearly it is, especailly when you compare it to other payment gateways that are used on Ebay. I don't know anyone who hasn't had some issue with PayPal.

I just feel it is one thing to remove a competetor from getting some of your action but it is quite another to claim the reason is anything else then what it is. I think putting G payments on a list of untrusted payment gateways is not right.

I mean search.Google.com deosn't return things from search.msn.com but they don't tell people the reason is MSN is worse, the reason is obvious, they are competetors.
