Wrong ballsack,

They do deposit to your bank within 24 hours of requesting it, but it takes time for your"bank" to credit the deposit to your account. So goole does their half but if you got a slow bank then it will take longer.

My merchant account I have now takes 2 days total for me to have the funds hit my bank account because my bank is pretty fast when it comes to deposits..

No, they reversed two transactions for $3400. total on a friend of mine. Deposited one day, taken right out the next. If he had been quicker he could have gotten the money out and left a zero balance, but he did not. Also, who knows, maybe his bank would have ended up with a negative balance owed.

He complained to the bank, tried to call it an unauthorized debit (because the link between PP and his bank had been severed that same day), reported to the FTC, etc., but in the end PP called it a "reversal" and got away with it.

Payouts will be initiated within two business days if:

You've already specified a valid bank account to receive your payouts.
You've successfully charged an order.
Your earned balance at the time of disbursement or transfer is at least US$1.
Google will initiate payouts within two business days after you charge an order; however, your bank may take up to three additional business days to register the payout in your account. Please contact your bank representative if you'd like more information about the timing of fund transfers into your account.

They will not pay u with in 24 hours after a order is charged cause they want to control the money in case u get banned with in the 2 bussiness days they wont have to pay u the payout.

And yes google will ban you for unfair reason like if your selling something and they cant verfiy its legit or ⊗⊗⊗⊗ they will just assume its ⊗⊗⊗⊗ and say u volited there TOS and ban you even if u have not one complaint

I was banned a few months back and when they banned u they wouldnt even tell you they would just banned u and you couldnt even log into your google account and to make thingd wrose you couldnt access the buyers address page to ship the orders and to top it off google would refund every buyer from day one even if you shipped the goods off or not then expect you to pay google back
lucky i closed my bank where the bastrds couldnt still money to cover there loss's.

I think they got into some **** about it cause they no longer use that method when they ban you and u can still access your account to finsh orders even if your suppened unlike before.

It's a landscape of "why won't you reply" "google froze my account" "worse than paypal" "with google's reputation this should be better" etc. I'm not sure if they've gotten their act together yet, but the damage has definately been done. Free payments or not, the general consensus is that they're not worth the hassle unless you don't care about the money and don't mind when or if you receive.

Google checkout has worked for me so far. Last week I did a $9500. transaction with them (as seller), and shipped. So I hope the cash gets to my account! No problems indicated so far.

I rather doubt PP would allow close to ten grand to flow so quickly.

I have sold A LOT of items on UBID, but in general they tend to close a little lower than the identical item on EBAY.

On EBAY nearly all of my listings are no reserve starting price at about nothing, and they close at or even higher than what I would want on a Buy it Now.

I have not risked a starting price $1. listing on UBID yet - I just don't know if there is enough traffic to lift the price adequately. So on UBID I put a "buy it now" price maybe $400. or so above my minimum bid.

I have to be willing to sell at close to my minimum bid though, because the UBID buyers tend not to bid so much, at least with these types of listing. I may risk a $1. starting price soon - will let you know how it goes.

UBID will feature you on their home page or on the specialty page for your type of item if you list 5 or 10 at a time. Now, that is one nice thing. On UBID I can list $100,000. of stuff at once and they will not molest me. Doing something like that is what got me suspended off EBAY in the first place. They just couldn't believe that anyone could have that much merchandise - but I did, and do.

Great Service saved us almost 900 dollars in fees.

I'll just go with the one least likely to mess me over in the end.

Oh, and the invoice has already been sent for one item. Can I even send another invoice from Google Checkout at this point, or will that look shady? I'm not about to tell a buyer that I'm having Paypal limitation problems!
