Google Checkout - Free processing until the end of 2007!

WOW!  Google just announced on the Google Checkout Blog that they are going to extend the free payment processing that was live for the holidays through the end of 2007.  Yes, a complete YEAR of free payment processing.  This is huge from a merchant's perspective as this essentially drops 2% into their pockets they can either, well, pocket or pump back into Google Adwords.

“Earlier this month, we announced that we were processing all Google Checkout sales for free until the end of 2006. Since then, we’ve had such a positive response from merchants that we decided to extend the offer through the end of 2007. From now through December 31, 2007, we’ll process all of your Checkout transactions for free.”

How many of Google Checkout's merchants also sell on eBay? How big does Checkout have to get before eBay lets eBay sellers use it?

All I can say is... wow. With the money I'm going to save this coming year, I'm off to Mercedes dealership to ship for a new car.

Google baby!

Yipppeeee! I LOVE Google! This will be a terrific way to test checkout in order to meet the requirements that Ebay put up that banned them from being used. Go Google!
