Not sure Google Checkout will be the next ebay alternative or not? At least the "google checkout" cannot compete with paypal at this moment for small online business. The function of "google checkout" is not as powerful as paypal though its fee is 1% less than paypal. Funny N.

They seem to be unaware that they are creating "niches" for specialty items. There is more auction outside of eBay than inside on Radio Control models now. I was disappointed with the charges for the last couple of items I sold. Once again the trivial junk just goes to the dump.
