Google Checkout in the UK

I love new things coming to the UK! Google checkout promises to be a great one. One or two obvious snags I have found in the first instance…

1. Items must be shipped within 3 days of the payment being charged

2. Only one website per account.

Many people have multiple websites and need to be able to integrate on a site by site basis. The payments on my Google account are ‘authorised’ and you have a charge button next to it. This is how I plan to cope with the processing times of some of my orders. Its manual, but I won’t press charge till the item is ready to ship. If the card declines then, I am buggered, but we shall see how stung I get in the coming months. I shall report any annoyances with the new system!
