Investor’s Business Daily highlights that Google Checkout is competitive with PayPal (although not nearly used as much, which could be a reasoning behind the move.

But it’s a little odd that eBay is phasing out Google Checkout, when apparently the two companies are in negotiations to add eBay-owned PayPal to Google’s Android system as a payments offering. That deal would make sense considering the wide use of PayPal.

But eBay just cut Google Checkout at the knees with this announcement. Google’s Checkout service isn’t nearly as popular as PayPal, but could Google be throwing in the towel on its own Checkout service? Google Checkout has the potential to gain significant traction if Google actually starts using it as a payments option in its upcoming platforms. It seems odd that eBay is eliminating Google’s payments platform yet Google is possibly embracing PayPal.
