Google Checkout (Look Out PayPal - you've got competition!)

I was shocked to learn that Google has come out with some awesome new stuff!
Drum roll...... Google Checkout!

Look out PayPal - you've got some real competition here. (and those of us that sell online have a great alternative to PayPal - which sucks in many ways.... but that's just my opinion).

Cool features of Google Checkout:

1) If you're an AdWords user - for every $1 you spend on AdWords, you will get a $10 credit toward payment processing (for those that sell online).

2) If you use Google Checkout for making purchases online, you don't have to reveal your email address when making a purchase. This prevents commercial spam - a BIG problem. Alot of times you'll get emails over and over again from a seller attempting to sell you another product or service. That can be frustrating.

3) When you make purchases online with Google Checkout, your credit card info. is not revealed to the seller - and you can be in and out in just two clicks. It's that easy!

So...will I make the switch? You betcha!
