|
|
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19 Steven Grossberg, who sells video games online from his home in Wellington, Fla., recently sent an enticing offer to 20,000 customers: $10 off any purchase over $30 using a new payment service, Google Checkout.
Traffic on his site more than tripled, and best of all, he said, Google picked up the tab for the promotion.
I think its fantastic, he said. Im selling the product. Google is getting tons of customers to sign up for Checkout. Customers are happy because they are getting a monster deal.
And Google is not charging merchants any processing fees through the end of 2007.

Too bad only US sellers can accept Google Checkout for the time being.
Here in Japan we'll be stuck with PayPal for quite some time I fear... |
