Google Checkout

[itsthebidness]

I have used Credit/Debit and Google Checkout for my two listings I've added. Do i need to make a google checkout account or do people just use google checkout as a payment processor and I will receive the payment on my bank account? I do not have a google checkout account, can I make one before my auction ends? Do I have to be a SELLER+ or will it work if im only a SELLER?

Thank you very much! Switching from eBay to eBid!

You will need to create a Google Merchant Account if you are offering it as a payment method. It takes a few days for verification. Google automatically transfer your funds to your bank account every couple of days.

I am not quite sure how the online payment methods work for a seller. I think you do not have the payment option integrated into your auction listings (buyer can pay by pressing a Google payment button on the invoice) even though you offer this method. I believe you will have to send an invoice from your Google Merchant account to your buyer. Someone will come along and correct me if I am wrong.

Seller+ members do have integrated online payment options where the buyer just presses the payment button on the invoice sent by the seller.

Of course, you still need to have a registered Google Merchant account.

I had to have a google merchant account before I could list is as an integrated payment option here. You have to give eBid the necessary information if i am not mistaken in order for it to appear as an option for your buyer.

Hi
Can a private seller get a google check out account, or do you need to be a business user?

Anyone can open one. Google's pages just read like they are only for merchants.
