All,
We’ve seen a couple of stories recently regarding last week’s third party checkout announcement, that need clarification. Specifically, stories running this morning state that, as part of last week’s third-party checkout announcement, eBay has prohibited Google Checkout. In fact, Google Checkout is not an accepted payment method today and last week’s announcement was completely separate from that. The announcement actually noted that effective June 30, 2011, eBay Checkout will be the only checkout process on eBay. Sellers who use Certified third-party checkout solutions from providers like ChannelAdvisor, Auctiva, Vendio, Infopia and Kyozou, will transition to eBay Checkout. For more information, please see eBay’s Accepted Payments Policy.
Cheers,
RBH
