My big beef with Google Checkout
Ok I think it has potential and I would use it if it wasn't for one specific reason:
When you list a product the price is set in your local currency. I for example, being British, have to set a price in GBP and if my buyer is American, the price is listed in USD based on the exchange rate.
This means that I have to quote my prices in GBP and let them work it out themselves. I could install a currency converter application, but it's easier to go somewhere else.
Since most internet marketing products are quoted in USD this restricts intercontinental transactions and this is why Google Checkout will never be a big player until it changes it's format.
I feel better now!
