I think we should all calm down and look at this in a little more detail.
A simple look at https://coinbase.com/merchants https://coinbase.com/merchants will show you a screenshot of a merchant page that looks exactly the same as those 'exposed' by google (https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=site:https://coinbase.com/checkouts/ https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=site:https://coinbase....)
Until proved otherwise, I believe these pages to be merchant pages actually selling the items, as the copy also suggests ("Send 1.00BTC to...", "Comfirm payment"). The confusion must come, I suppose, from the ambiguous urls that contain /checkouts/... and from people not really liking Coinbase?
Edit: Funny how this is a perfect example of the 'URLs are for people, not computers' argument that is number 2 on HN right now.
