Boy, is eBay ever mean! They have reacted to the threat to PayPal from the new Google Checkout by not allowing it as a valid payment method on eBay.
I understand why they're doing this, but IMHO it's going to blow up in their faces. For one thing, most people are just going to use Checkout for the ad campaigns 'cause it's free to use for that. Otherwise, the charge is similar to PayPal's, if not a little bit more.
I know they want to protect PayPal, but if they want to be the winner in this contest, they should let the best product win. I don't think they have to worry about Google's product being the "best" at this point, but a little healthy competition for PayPal would be a good thing in the long run for it, as well as for consumers.
