I've been researching this a little. Google Checkout and Paypal have exactly the same terms: http://checkout.google.com/sell/ http://checkout.google.com/sell/ (click on "Costs and fees") https://merchant.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=merchant/wp_standard https://merchant.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&... Monthly Sales Through Google Checkout Fees Per Transaction Less than $3,000 2.9% + $0.30 $3,000 - $9,999.99 2.5% + $0.30 $10,000 - $99,999.99 2.2% + $0.30 $100,000 or more 1.9% + $0.30 Old articles say Google Checkout has different pricing, so it must have changed. Paypal makes you call for >=$100K. Paypal also has a micropayments program which is 5% + 5c. If you do the math, for <$3K in sales, that's cheaper if a purchase is <= $11.90. Weird cutoff, but there you have it. Paypal also has more payment options (you can link a bank account) and is available for international payments: http://inventorspot.com/articles/zyngas_social_media_games_google_checkout_vs_paypal http://inventorspot.com/articles/zyngas_social_media_games_g... I'm a Google fanboy, but Paypal looks to have the edge. Here's an in-depth comparison of Paypal, Google, and a couple of smaller services: http://foliovision.com/2010/01/21/paypal-google-checkout-digital-river http://foliovision.com/2010/01/21/paypal-google-checkout-dig... Note: Lots of crabby blog posts when Paypal arbitrarily shuts down their accounts. Anyone have practical experience?
