Search giant Google has launched an online payments system which aims to compete with auction giant eBay.

Dubbed Google Checkout, the system is designed to boost Google's main source of revenue - selling advertising.

The service offers some free order processing to Google's millions of advertisers, but will initially be available only to stores in the US.

This is great! I have used paypal but i would much rather use Google Checkout. I love the things Google come up with!

Google are aiming high but they have the cash and the audience to compete.

Google Checkout doesn't look good IMO. Maybe it's the fact that I can't sign up due to me being Canadian, but it doesn't look as secure as Paypal.

Ebay wont allow you to use it... Which is kinda dodge, true tho that it is untensted. We shal see what the future holds.

well Im a google fanatic - I beta test just about everything they ever go with in beta stage, and I get all their stuff..

Picasa just sucks though fair play..

Would be happy to use GoogleCheckout :)
