Hi,

I've recently started using Google Checkout.

Has anyone else experienced problems with Google Checkout similar to PayPal?

Note: I've not had any problems with Google Checkout, seems pretty good so far :)

I haven't had any issues with google checkout, though most of our clients choose paypal.

My only criticism of google checkout is that I wish they had a debit card for easier access to the money similar to paypal.

I didn't find there FAQ's good (the cards they accepted article)... what is the seller protection like?

Google checkout is pretty good, we use it, and we like it. Never had any issues, they even blocked a few fraud orders.

They should deposit the money straight to your bank and then you can use the debit card that comes with your account.

Never had any issues with Google checkout. Paypal is a different story, but I don't think you're going to run into any problems with either.

thanks mate :)

I haven't experienced any problems with Google Checkout. There's been the few times Google have reviewed clients, which delays the ordering process but that's all to protect the seller from fraud.

I had few chargebacks via GC, even I proved that the service (domain name registration and web hosting is delivered). The GC is best for selling physical goods instead of service.

I hardly use Google Checkout but, when I do it's usually good.

It depends on what exactly youre selling. Most people prefer PayPal however Google Checkout has been gaining some hype lately so it might be the next best thing. One thing i definitely do not like is the lack of debit cards. I know that you can have it setup so it has direct deposit however it still not the same.

Yes, direct deposit takes a minimum of 2 business days after they process and they don't necessarily process on the same day as the order. That's the biggest downfall for us. We have to wait at least 2 days but sometimes up to 5 before the cash is in our accounts. I guess this is standard practice for most merchants, but we're spoiled with paypal. ;)

Google Checkout is our preferred method of payment, we have yet to have a single fraudulent payment processed through it. :)

We have set this up for clients but very few choose Google Checkout as they prefer PayPal

@Thread OP = Google Checkout is great. Not only does it filter fraud orders for us but it also gives us access to the funds quicker than what paypal does. The fee's i feel are a little exasperate however its a service that is worth every penny :)

Ok thanks for all your views :)

I use Google Checkout on my personal site and have never had an issue with it, like the many I have had with Paypal
