MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Google (GOOG) is offering merchants free use of its online payment service as it squares off against eBay's (EBAY) market-leading PayPal.

It seems like Paypal is still very well liked - but payment processing without the 2.9% fee is highly appealing!

Yeah that's great but I get the feeling that it's just to get market share from Paypal. Can someone pay for stuff by credit card without opening an account? I might give it a try if that's the case.

I think you're right on - it's definitely an assault on Paypal and will not last forever -

The way I have Google Checkout set up - the customer does have to register with G before making the purchase, but it is a very simple process. They basically enter their credit card info right away.

So far using it has worked well for me. The brand recognition of Google helps with peoples concern about security etc. also I think.
