eBay bans Google checkout payments

By Steve Weber | Published: July 6, 2006

eBay has banned Google’s new payment service, Google checkout.

Why? I can understand why eBay recently banned cash payments through the mail. Obviously, cash attracts thieves. Doh!

But banning Google? Does Google attracts thieves? I need some help understanding this.

Hey, eBay! Don’t treat your customers like children. At least give a reason!

    Probably because eBay owns paypal – and that is lost revenue for them if you don’t go thru paypal.
