I wonder if the customer service for OnePass payments will be as good as it is for Google Checkout. I'm thinking of previous discussions such as: Google Checkout Nightmare and the $126,000 phone call : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1432107
So I'd expect that to result in a "yes"
The payment side is powered by Google Checkout, so the fee structure smacks Apple around all over the place. The most expensive tier (under $3000 in monthly sales) is 2.9% + $0.30. The cheapest is 1.9% + $0.30.
Android dabbler/developer here. I like how google is empowering their developers with different pricing strategies. Before it was plain vanilla, either you pay, or its free. Yes you can pay for an app and within 15 minutes ask for a refund, but I have trouble sending in a rebate, I know i'll forgot within those 15 minutes. With these extra payment options, and from what I understand, easy charging system, having some…
Quite impeccable timing on Google's part, merely days after developers and publishers are up-in-arms over Apple's 30% cut for on-device content. Well played Schmidt, well played.
Update: CNet's explination: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20032217-1.html
The signup page is linking my to a generic Google help page.
Perhaps they're trying to gauge support before rallying to actually build the thing.

As a consumer, I don't like the fact that now I will have to keep track of different way each website will charge me money.
I personally think trying to fit every type of publication in one hole is a much worse solution.

Look at the page. It's just an informational landing page. no breakdown of the framework, pricing or any details, and once you click the signup button, you are put on a queue for a sales rep to contact you.
I love it though. It's a great case study for startups! I think they're gauging interest with this one, simple page.. and if enough people sign-up they will actually build it over the weekend.

They need to add other payment options then CreditCards to Google Checkout. Nobody uses CreditCards in Europe and it's kinda stupid that I can't even buy Apps on the Marketplace and have see if the vendor support direct purchase form their website via PayPal or something.
