Has anybody considered this as a payment option?

Last time I looked into this it was only available to US users, if that has changed it looks good, but after a quick look I think a guest would have to create an account, which might put a few folk off.
Edit: Just had another, look fine if you are in the US or UK..........sorry folks no Euros yet.

Hi Helene,
I think it's ok for services
http://checkout.google.com/support/sell ... tx=sibling
I thought some of the features listed here...........
https://checkout.google.com/seller/feat ... l=en&gl=GB
would be useful to rental owners
e.g.
Partial funds capture = Deposits, balances and even damage deposits
Refunds = Damage deposit returns
Just a few things for discussion.
Cheers
Ian

I've just had word back from Paul that holiday accommodation isn't allowed. As he has been looking at adding this payment option to the booking system, I would have thought he would have up-to-date info. Please let me know if this is incorrect.

payment after the holiday?
A superficial look at the first few paragraphs throws up:
-"Product" means any digital or physical merchandise, good, or service that is listed for sale ........�
which tells us what can be sold
(good news)
and
-�Permissible Payment Transactions. .......A Payment Transaction may not be submitted for processing through the Service until Seller has:
(a) shipped or otherwise provided the purchased goods to the Buyer; or
(b) performed the purchased service; or
(c) otherwise completed the purchase transaction as mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer.
(bad news)
(b) is out of the question (payment after the holiday) and I wouldn’t want to start negotiating (c) - “completed the purchase transaction as mutually agreed“ - with my potential “Buyers�.
Maybe something further on in the LONG text provides a different possibility for holiday lets, but I doubt it. I didn't read further........
