I didn't have any problems with GCO so far. Why do they froze people's accounts? I haven't heard about this yet.

Search on google for the google checkout forums, or just do a google search for "checkout". It's all there. I've heard that money can be held up for as little as a day, as much as 6 months! That's pretty scary. Anyway, I spoke with Google recently and mentioned the problem. The rep said he would pass my thoughts on to the team that handles this. I'm taking that with a grain of salt, but there is hope they're taking it seriously. Quote: |
On my ebay listings I claim that I accept credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) and then I send winning buyers link to GCO. I don't mention GCO on the listing. Do you think it should work fine? I can offer lower price since I don't pay paypal fees in this case.
| That's how I've handled it too. Seems to work ok, and it's not a lie--google checkout does take credit card payments. I've never been able to just send a link though. I usually just use the "send an invoice" tab when I use google checkout, which I base usually on price of the item.
