Ok, now we have two self-selected samples of experiences with Google checkout.

While I appreciate your post, I'd like to point out that statistically speaking, we still have learned nothing about the risk/benefits associated with using Google checkout. sigh

You're right.

I wonder why Google closed the account: was it that b/c she never clicked "Shipped" to any of the orders and so Google's algorithm thought the account fraudulent, or was there another reason?

If Google doesn't come clean on the reason, it's going to lose a lot of future customers.

When things can go as bad as in the Slash7 story, statistics totally lose their importance in my opinion. I will never ever pay for a service knowing that it may turn on me like that.

Are you serious? Do you ever drive or cross the street? Because things can get a lot worse than losing $200, with, I imagine, a higher probability.
