Ebay updates Payment policy and bans Google Checkout

Ebay has updated its Safe Payments policy to include Google Checkout as part of its list of online payment methods not permitted on eBay. According to eBay’s Safe Payments policy, payment service must have a “substantial historical track record of providing safe and reliable financial and/or banking related services.”

Google’s spokesperson said yesterday, “Google Checkout is not a beta product. Google has a long history in billing and payments for AdWords and for premium services, such as Google Video.”

“We want to work with everybody”
