Ebay bans Google Checkout

Ebay bans Google Checkout » gHacks tech news
Ebay changed its Safe Policy this week adding Google Checkout to its list of online payment methods not permitted on eBay. Take a look at their updated policy to see for yourself that Google Checkout is among the payment services that are not accepted by Ebay.
My first thought was that Ebay was trying to prevent that a serious competitor would compete with Ebays own service Paypal. This could be but I found something that might give them at least a justification to ban Google Checkout for now.
Ebay uses several factors to determine wether a payment service will be permitted. One of those factors is “whether the payment service has a substantial historical track record of providing safe and reliable financial and/or banking related services (new services without such a track record generally cannot be promoted on eBay)”
Google has of course such a track record with Adwords and Google Video but of course not with Google Payment. This could mean that they will evaluate google checkout again at a later date and probably add it to their list of accepted payments services then.
