- ewjordan 18y agoUnless and until you're bringing in real money for Google, make no mistake: you're in a consumer relationship with them, not a commercial one. A merchant that's sold a few hundred dollars worth of stuff is never going to be important enough to Google to bother putting a real person on. It may suck, but that's the way it is. If the vendor in question had a few more zeroes on their sales figures, Google would make sure that the complaints were valid before shutting them down. But I agree fully with the basic point - any small vendor should think twice before relying solely on Google Checkout.
- ahoyhere 18y agoIf it's a small amount of money, it's fine for them to shut you down with no warning and keep your money? Imagine if a bank did that with your $200 checking account. My account was open for a month or less when they closed it.
