EBay not getting along with Google

Earlier this week, Google released the new Google Checkout program. (checkout.google.com) The tagline: “Find it with Google. Buy it with Google Checkout.” It works with their AdWords product and seems to be positioned fairly well for some growth. In addition, AdWords customers get a discounted rate on transaction costs. For every dollar a seller spends on AdWords, they receive $10 of free transactions through Google Checkout.

EBay has decided that Google Checkout is not “appropriate” for the EBay marketplace.

The PayPal vs Google Checkout should be an interesting battle to witness!
