    I'm a seller and I want to accept google checkout payments from my users. Haw can I do it, if I am not a us citizen?
    Is there any payment processors that accept Google checkout, like 2co and worldpay for cc?

    Why are you always assume is something illegal? You can accept cc without a merchant account, using somebody else merchant account, like paypal. The same ting is with paypal, and it must be with checkout .

    Google Checkout currently does not allow non-US residents to sign up with it. If you are not from the US, signing up will be illegal.

    Of course, the other option may be to use the comparable service which is already available for ages and that is 2checkout.com .

    Yes, I know I can use other services, but I want to accept checkout.
    Basically, I'm looking for a reseller services, like 2co, paypal, clickbank, etc, that accept checkout.

    No, not that I know. Besides if there is any out there, you be probably paying a lot more in terms of fees for nothing worth while.

    What I am saying is that Google Checkout is pretty much the same as 2Checkout. Being that Google Checkout only accepts credit card payment like what 2Checkout does. It is just a one-way service which allows you to receive credit card payments and that is all it does.

    You cannot compare Google Checkout with say Paypal because Paypal does more than just merchant services, it is somewhat a virtual currency so having a vendor accept paypal currency makes sense.

    There is really no advantage accepting Google Checkout if you already have other means of processing credit card payments.

    Some people dont really get that..
    All you can do is, wait for some good time to come when Google will go "International" and we "ALL" will be usign it.

    Till then, you can use 2CO if you want to accept CC or you can go for MB or E-gold.

    Why is it so important to use Google Checkout ? What makes it so special anyways ? I really don't see anything apart from the fact that it is started by Google. There are many other credit card processors out there which you can use. Google Checkout does not bring anything special on the table and the discount on the fees will not last for long.

    You can use checkut service of any payment processor. If you're really serious to accept CC payments, sign up for paypal pro for a flat fee of $20/month

    It will hide paypal as being the real payment processor
