It's very common for people to display brands that they want to be associated with. E.g., in fashion, you can't copyright a clothing design, which has led designers to sell plain T-Shirts that say "Ralph Lauren", "A&F", "Hugo Boss", etc. Wearing a Google shirt is saying, "Hey, please associate our tiny little start-up with Google!" It worked! And check out the press they're getting for rocking the boat via the existing eBay-Google flap.

It's clear that they went there to tout the merits of Google Checkout. That being said, it unfortunate the way the Ebay exec handled it. He fell for it hook, line and sinker.
