Yes, ebay searches your listing for the word Google and
Checkout, so if
you use Goo-gle and/or Check-out, then their 'bot' doesn't
detect that
you are trying to use Google Checkout.
I've done this in this ebay item:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem
&item=330060482131
I used Google's Image hosted on my web site. I then linked
their logo
to a simple redirect page at Google for the "why
Checkout" information.
I plan on doing the checkout manually through the VT, but
using these
similar methods and the description above, one could send
the Item
information to a web page with a Google Checkout API link.
I just
haven't the time to do that yet.
I also need to do something like this for ProStores (an Ebay
company
too!).
Aside: I can remember when Ebay was acting the same way
against Paypal,
who they eventually bought. Remember how paypal
automatically inserted
itself into your auctions for a payment button and checkout!
it was
better than Ebay's at the time.
Google needs to do this for us and get an injunction against
Ebay/Paypal to prevent them from shutting down our Ebay
accounts!!!
how about it Google?
