Starting next July, eBay will no longer let Google Checkout transactions on eBay web sites. eBay owned Paypal, will be the checkout allowed.

“To give eBay buyers a consistent, speedy checkout experience and to ensure support for fast-growing sales via mobile platforms, eBay announced today that third-party checkout solutions will no longer be supported on eBay after June 30, 2011″, blogged Todd Lutwak, eBay’s vice president of the seller experience.

Today less than 10% of all sales on eBay.com are processed via third-party checkout solutions and the vast majority of sellers will not be affected by this coming transition.

For those sellers who do use third-party solutions, eBay checkout is being enhanced with key functionality including advanced tax reporting, more credit card integration, and advanced shipping solutions.

PayPal, brought in revenue of $817 million, up 22% from the year-earlier quarter. EBay’s overall revenue for the same period was $2.21 billion.

eBay’s many problems are hardly worth discussing any more. Clearly, the headless turkeys have taken over the eBay farmyard and since the incompetent sociopath John Donahoe has been given a key to the larger “disabled” cubicle in the executive wash room, eBay has every quarter, relatively speaking, been flushed further and further down the toilet.

Since April Fools Day (how apt!) and the dumping of store items into core, eBay’s new Utah data center has apparently been effectively crippled or, if it is functioning as planned, it’s a very strange plan. Regardless, it would appear that the eBay whale is high and dry on a beach somewhere, has died, and is now starting to stink.

Good. Google Checkout sucks. I don't want them getting any more business. The only option for buying apps in the Android market is Google Checkout, and half of the things i try to buy, the order is put on hold because of "possible fraud". Of course Google has no customer service, so I'm just stuck.
