Hi Rob. Yea, Google stikes again. I stumbled across Google Checkout some months ago and was considering using it to incorporate its content into my site's Product Catalog (which is still not in use). However, one thing about Google Checkout that I frowned upon was it required you to have an existing merchant account in place and setup -- merchant accounts are not cheap.

My question, as I asked myself, was: why would I use Google Checkout if I already had a merchant account in place and setup?

I ended up NOT moving forward with the Google thing, as this would require me, as a website owner, to duplicate all Product and Merchandise advertisements.
