I would think the answer is no. Google checkout is banned on ebay and since Vendio is a ebay authorized service provider if they allow it they could loose their ebay privelages. Vendio wouldn't have much business if they can't do ebay. Don't plan on ever finding Google checkout anywhere that has anything to do with ebay.

Vendio has no support for Google Checkout. MW has it in their stores and is available for Yahoo and Overstock, but it doesn't work at all with anything related to eBay.

We fully understand Google checkout will not work with ebay transactions, but we are trying to remove ourselves from ebay, but more importantly, from Paypal.
We’ve been hit with another chargeback from a customer who claims they never received their package. Package was sent with DC, signature confirmation, and it was verified and confirmed…try explaining that as seller protection.
Paypal is a scammer’s paradise, so we need to discontinue their service and try Googles attempt.
Other auction services such as MW and Channel Advisor offer these features, so why not Vendio?
With Vendio's lack of customer service and features, we are strongly considering switching our selling provider to a CA merchant account.
We posted a question in the store section of Vendio's forum over a week ago. It's been 8 days and still no response. It's apparent Vendio does not care much about the store feature, so we must find another provider who does.
Do any of you have experience with either of these organizations?

Maybe you didn't read my first reply. Unless ebay allow's Google Checkout (which is highly unlikely) don't expect to ever see it supported by Vendio. If Vendio did offer it ebay could remove Vendio's right as a service provider and no longer be able to do anything related to ebay (which would mean Vendio would probably go out of business). It's not Vendio's fault, it's ebay's. Vendio has to follow the rules just like we do. They break them they get the consequences from ebay.

I read your reply, but you do not understand. When you place an item in a Vendio store, it has no affiliation with ebay. We pay for the store, and we want to migrate all of the items that were normally in our ebay store into our Vendio store. We are relying on the RSS feeds into Froogle to provide traffic to the store. We are also using Google ad words to promote our items. The Vendio store is totally segregated from ebay, so this would not cause any form of conflict. The other big boys are doing this now, see for yourself.
This is a feature that is simply not offered to Vendiio customers at this time. We wanted to know if this was going to be available in the future before switching service providers.
