Ebay bans Google Checkout !

eBay has banned sellers from using Google Checkout on eBay.
In a bid to protect PayPal, eBay has banned sellers from using Google Checkout, Google's payment service, on its site.

eBay has also changed the name of its Safe Payments Policy to Accepted Payments Policy, to serve as a lame excuse.

It is mentioned in eBay's Safe Payments policy, that a payment service must have a “substantial historical track record of providing safe and reliable financial and/or banking related services.” According to eBay, sellers may not accept banned services on their eBay checkout systems.

It's ironic they would do this here, and in the same breath go to Congress and fight the Net Neutrality battle.
You can't fight for an open internet one day and then implement policies that close the walled garden the next.
Coffee - eBay please wake up and smell it. Trust and Safety is running (and ruining) your company.
