Yo idiot, I don't see a payment button in your listing. The other 11,500 items with the tag Payment: payment_through_google ALL have one. Why doesn't yours? Laughing7

Why don't you get some friggin' glasses. I see TWO...not one, but TWO BIG BLUE BUY BUTTONS on the listing!!!!!!!!! ..and I see this:

Quote: Payment
I accept: Payment through Google

For anyone who wants to see Google Payments in action...click here

Signup for Payments was easy, the order management interface on Base is easy, and uh the 2.5% +$0.25 per transaction is less than PayPal's 2.9% + $0.30...plus there are no FVF or listing fees on Base so when you compare the total cost of a sale on Base vs. an eBay Stores sale, I wonder how many people will still use Base to redirect buyers to their eBay listings once Google Payments are made available to everyone???

Will the monthly limit be a problem? How easy is it to raise the limit?

This looks interesting.

The interface needs radical tweaking before buyers will shop there. Saving $6 on every $100 sale will be sweet if they can get buyers.

Google Payments on Base has a bug that Google needs to fix:Â the 'Buy' buttons are being blocked by some Adblocker software and aren't visible unless the adblocker is turned off. I guess that's why it's called a 'Beta'Â Tongue

More commentary on Google Base's Europe announcement:

Quote:Google is planning to create an online market for traditional retailers via its recently unveiled Google Base service. The search engine giant is looking to create a "virtual supermarket" by developing the service, which is currently undergoing beta testing.

Google Base is a significant development because up to now the service has been viewed as a classified ads service targeted at consumers. The creation of an ecommerce launch pad for retailers pitches Google against similar initiatives from the likes of Amazon (whose clients include US bookseller Borders and UK supermarket Marks and Spencer) and eBay
