OK, it’s not going to replace PayPal, at least not anytime soon. But I have used Google Checkout. Why? Buy.com has partnered with them. Buy something $30 or more, and get $10 off. I bought a Kensington PilotBoard Laser Wireless Desktop Set for $62.99, with a $25 rebate … that + $10 off for Google Checkout and you come out with $27.99, incl. free shipping. The only bad thing about Buy.com is that since I live in California I have to pay sales tax. Also, you have to track your order through the Google Checkout site, not Buy.com. Still, let me just say, if more retailers offer deals like this (wishful thinking, right) I just might use Checkout … a lot.
