Google Checkout V PayPal

[minitici]

After going to the trouble of registering with Google Checkout (to benefit from their 1.5% +£0.15 per transaction fees rather than PayPal's 3.4% +£0.2)
- Google e-mailed yesterday to say that their fees are going to change as of 5th May 2009.

Their new tiered fee structure looks identical to PayPal's with the exception that cross border transactions will be a further 1% more expensive.

Given this plus the fact that customers have to sign up to Google Checkout - I won't be using Google Checkout again

Added to which they've remove the free processing bonus if you use AdWords.

Shame really, Checkout was a good little system but PayPal offers more for the same cost now.

Yep, we are nearly finished developing a new cart system with GC as an added payment method, to say i was pissed at the email last night is an understatement.
