Someone's already asked this about 3 days ago, I think it only available to US sellers at the moment.

are the fees cheaper....and will it be advertised by e bay sellers?

I think Google will have to buy eBay if they want to compete with paypal. ebay own paypal and that's where most of paypal's business comes from.

Be nice to have some competition tho as competitiion always drives down prices.

I think google could quite happily start their own Auction house and are probably drawing up plans right now! They're a name you can trust I think.

Was launched to the UK market on Friday so is now available over here. All users have to be verified before they can join so that is a massive plus against paypal if you are a seller. At the moment eBay will not allow Google Checkout as a 'accepted Payment Method' but this may change if buyers start to ask for it.

Yes that's right, but in the beginning Ebay and Paypal fees were low until the corporate greed set in, who's to say Google won't try the same methods?, still a bit of competition will be good for greEd Bay

Hurah! bring it on, it's about time. Problem is, those ebay charges are still going to make selling very expensive. I wish Google would take them on there too.

I think they're aiming for world domination. They are good at what they do though

They are good at what they do and what they've done for the internet over the last 5 years or so has been awesome! World domination? If they carry on as they have been they wont need corporate greed, they're rolling in it anyway I'm waiting for them to roll out some decent webhosting too... I'll be straight there.
