From experience of using Paypal, HSBC and Google Checkout for online payments, I'd go Google. It was a breeze to set up and it's very easy for a consumer to use as well. Also, I got a lot more support from Google guys than I did from Paypal.
Not to mention Paypal has a shadyness about them. I've been bitten by them. Since they're not a bank they don't need to do anything for you. Theoretically it's not "your money" - they're holding money earmarked for you (and collecting interest) ... they can put a hold on your account, take the money, lose it, etc... and your only recourse is to try to sue it back from them...

I've had the opposite experience. Their service has served me well over several years, sites, and clients. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
