These $10 deals have been adding up (from Google's 4th Quarter Earnings Statement):
"The company also said the revenue it reported during the quarter was effectively reduced by about $35 million related to a promotion for its Checkout online-payment processing service. The service, launched last year, facilitates payments by consumers to online retailers."

Does anyone know how to contact Google Checkout regarding a problem? I have an order from last night that is saying credit card declined. It says I have three days to provide a valid credit card or the order will be canceled. Problem is, I was charged for it and the charge went through and is listed on my card.

Now I am getting the message: "Sorry, Google Checkout is not accepting new accounts at this time. Please try again later. "
Have they pulled the plug on this? Or is this just temporary?
