I haven't seen any press release from cardserviceinternational.com about this.
If I was the CEO I'd be a bit pissed and threatening an ANTI TRUST suit
too right about now.

I'm also surprised that Google has not fired a warning shot over ebay's bow yet too.

We all know that millions of ebay sellers have been long awaiting some competition
in this area.

To have ebay do this is just going to create even MORE bad blood. IMO

eBay could always claim Google is banned only because Google Checkout doesn't have a proven track record yet since it's only a few weeks old.  eBay however would have had absolutely no case if NoChex had filed an anti-trust complaint because NoChex has been in use on the eBay site for 6 years (and has over 1 million members and is regulated by the UK government)...which is why eBay was forced to put NoChex back on the approved list.

I think CardService would have a very good case against eBay...

I told you guys these screwballs have been violating
ANTI TRUST laws all along.

They think they are so above the law with deep
enough pockets to thwart any litigation against them.
Seems in many instance that is the case but
eventually the money has to dry up or
the boards members will be tired of paying and paying,
especially if the revenues are really taking a bath anyway.

Of course we know quarter after quarter ebay just keeps
squeaking by some how as if a lot of really "Creative"
accounting is going on over there.

Well I'll tell you what, these types of violations
if PROVEN do carry stiff penalties and even jail time for the offending officers.
So who ever in the office at ebay who signed off and approved
these policy changes could find themselves in a lavish federal jail cell.
(One could only wish)  LOL

IF someone like CardService would pursue it.

Of course we all know how it really works.
CardService's or any other that has a proven track
record could scream foul and ebay will just put them
back on the "your good" list.

If not, well soon after a suit is filed they would settle out
of court and still end up on the "your good" list.  I would think.

Channel Advisor's CEO with another installment of his ongoing rant against eBay's Google decision:

Scripophily is a ChannelAdvisor customer, where I am CEO and has a near flawless reputation on eBay and the web.  Clearly a great merchant and an asset to eBay (Meg has evidently bought from them) who unfortunately somehow ended up getting thrown under the bus by someone at Trust and Safety that couldn't tell a payment system from one of their own sellers.

Note to Trust and Safety, for future vetting of rogue payment systems, please follow these six easy steps:

1. www.ebay.com
2. Go to advanced search
3. Click on "items by seller" on the left
4. Type in the name of the potentially evil payment system (example: scripophily.com)
5. If a list of auctions comes up, this is an eBay seller (aka customer) and NOT a fraudulent payment system.
6. If a list of auctions does not come up, you are free and clear to add the system to the "evil" list.

I'm getting a bit behind.  Someone feel free to update the Stores Board with the daily safe payment updates.

Hussy Ditzy can go boink himself if he thinks eBay's going to dictate the payments I accept on my third party checkout after the auction ends.

Read this from the MarketWorks boards.  There won't be a google checkout option on any 3rd party checkout that uses eBay checkout redirect:

As part of our license for the use of the eBay Redirect, we aren't allowed to show the Google Checkout button when there's an eBay auction in the cart. Hopefully this will pass when eBay allows Google payments.
