>Google Stores Beta could be the new eCommerce killer! Google Checkout adding a shopping cart function and possibly integrating with Google Sites could lead to a turnkey ecommerce solution. Who needs eBay or Amazon, when you can get all of this for free from Google? Sure you pay for payment processing, but you pay a percentage using any service. For anyone buying stuff online, I find signing up for a Google Checkout is easier than Paypal. You also are not encouraged to carry a Paypal balance which makes purchases & refunds much easier. There’s no new procedures or policies to learn. What you’ve come to expect from your credit card company still applies to your Google Checkout purchases.
