Hmm, I would be interested to know what charges come in next year though - I a m presuming they would have to undercut paypal otherwise there would be little point in doing it.
Out of interest, I am launching my site next month and am considering only accepting google and paypal - is this wise?
Are you going to take cards as well? Just that I looked that paypal is cheaper overall (for me at least) plus you dont have to worry about the SSL security element?

Well if your building a site which is going to be based on a shopping cart (Oscommerence or Zen Cart etc) then you would still need some kind of SSL security during checkout, because it would make the customer feel a lot safer because before paying, the customer would need to enter their personal details such as their name and address.
i rekon google checkout will be very huge by next year, they will make sure everyone knows about it, they got some of the main online stores signed up, its a good thing, as paypal are just doing what they want, about time paypal took a sit down,
Hopfully google checkout is checking the CC reg/ed address properly and not the shortcuts paypal take,
