i have used paypal in pass and decided to give Google a try. the thing i like a bout Google is that you can apply coupons to the cart, for a short or long period of time. say for instance an item sales for 20 dollars and the customer clicks the add to cart button Google automatically deduces the dollar amount or percentage amount. Also if you are selling to a certain group that group can put in a promo code at check for the discounts.

Very informative, thanks. I’m planning to implement both on my men’s jewelry website, though I have Google Checkout ready to go for my relaunch. It was so easy to do.

As for Google Checkout not automating much of the bookkeeping, that’s good to know about. But even without the fix posted by Midnex, it’s better than my prior merchant service. They wouldn’t even give me a line item breakdown of transactions made over the last 90 days.

Fired!

Marin,

Why do you have to pick only one? If I were a merchant, I would not leave PayPal out just because they have such a huge market share. At the same time, if Google Checkout saves me money, I’ll use them too – why not? There is no penalty for accepting multiple payment methods.

Nope the issue was with 1- transaction went through about 1-1/2 months ago for $300.00 I got my money and the buyer got his product. So everything was good I thought. Then 1- ½ months later PayPal takes $300.00 from my account. Witch I did not have in there so my account became negative. PayPal said they could not give me any info on the buyer. Just something about the money was not good in the buyer’s bank account.
“””That’s What They Told Me”””
And that I have to track the buyer down on my own. Witch the buyer address is in Italy and the buyer was no longer an E-Bay member.
Before that another buyer put in a dispute, saying he did not receive his package from me. So PayPal takes $300.00 out of my account. Then PayPal give the money back to the buyer. The problem was with Customs had held up his package for a little bit longer. Then the buyer e-mails me and says Ho I got my package now. Then after that he never replied back to me about paying back the money to me.
These e-bay members feedback was only 1-to 6 positive. I’m 100% Plus over 120 transactions. Plus I had Insurance, Tracking Numbers, Receipts, and Customs Receipts. And PayPal did not want to hear that.
All this started happing when I started making a lot of sales. I am going to be having a new business now so I am going to apply for a full Merchant Account for protection from chargeback’s and other positive things that a full Merchant Account comes along with. But for now I am going to try out GOOGLE CHECKOUT.com Here is my site http://WWW.aromamisters.com
