Quote:millions are probably hoping this will I think the only ways to use GBuy are 1. payment for Google Base item 2. payment for item advertised with AdWords. If you don't buy AdWords or sell on Base you're SOL. |

Re: Google 's GBuy Payment Service Prepares to Battle for Marketshare with PayPal
I wasn't sure how that worked and personally don't need it seeing as we have a merchant account.
But I would still root for the poor soles who want it so bad. Hey maybe it will get some off their duffs and they will start listing on GBase too. Then they can have their pie and chips. Like the gecko dude says. It's pie and chips.... FOR FREE. LOL

Google GBuy vs. eBay PayPal battle could benefit smaller ecommerce merchants
More press coverage of the upcoming GBuy vs. PayPal battle:
Quote: The battle to control your online wallet is about to get a lot bloodier. More than a year after search giant Google (GOOG) was rumored to be preparing an online payment service, GBuy finally looks set to launch in test mode as early as June 28. But while Google may have quickly become the dominant force in search advertising, it's unlikely there will be one winner in online payments anytime soonif ever... full article: http://www.businessweek.com/investor/con...081708.htm Quote:Ten Possible Consequences of Google's GBuy full article: http://ibmwatch.eweek.com/blogs/google_w...11115.aspx Quote:From a merchant advertiser perspective, Google aims to lock-in merchants as AdWords customers by not charging AdWords clients for GBuy payment processing. Additionally, Google is setting-up a two-tier system for its AdWords clients to favor those that are also GBuy merchants:.. full article: http://blogs.zdnet.com/micro-markets/?p=169 |

Quote:to set-up GBuy as the go-to default, and perhaps exclusive, online merchant "checkout process," It won't be my default as long as my merchant account is 2.20% and GBuy is 2.50%. |

Quote:to set-up GBuy as the go-to default, and perhaps exclusive, online merchant "checkout process," It won't be my default as long as my merchant account is 2.20% and GBuy is 2.50%. [/quote] Ditto on sticking with the merchant account as the default. Lower rates win every time--not to mention shopping cart integration. If Google develops an API for 3rd party shopping cart scripts like Zen, osCommerce, X-Cart to connect to their cart then they could definitely win some business from the storeowners who offer PayPal as an option and are paying PP's higher 2.9% + $0.30 rates. |

No wonder I can't sign UP.
Or even find the GBuy site to do so. I'm not running any Google AD words. Oh well nice slant there Google... but I guess I wil have to pass for now. Gees everyone has an angle don't they?

You can also sign up when you list an item on Google Base but the item has to be purchased directly on base and you pay 2.5% +$0.25

Re: Google 's GBuy Payment Service Prepares to Battle for Marketshare with PayPal
I did sign up yesterday but will still stick to the MA as my default too for now.
If it can be integrated as said earlier, with shopping carts set ups they will get more biz. Already fired off an e mail to my provider to see if they were going to be adding it to their list of gateways. They don't seem to be too interested in it and are calling it a " clone of PayPal's Express checkout system". They did say they will take a look at it next week but said to be prepared to be very, disappointed. I was looking at some of the G development tools but I'm not getting into all that just to use their service. They either need to come out with an integrated cart system like PP has or it may turn out to be just another flop as PayPal's Express checkout was.

Quote:will still stick to the MA as my default too for now. Ditto. Over 95% of payments on our websites and over 90% on Overstock are going through our merchant account. If Zencart or Marketworks added Google Checkout integration we'd add it as a payment option but very few off-ebay buyers want to pay with PayPal (or Moneybookers which we also offer on our websites), and I doubt if many will want to use Google Checkout either. |
