Ecommerce Added to Google Base
According to some Google developer blogs, Google may be adding ecommerce to their new Google Base service. This new addition may include the ability to process credit cards, but plans are still being kept quiet on what the service will actually provide.
Google Base launched its public beta testing late last year, and is intended to be a repository of content that is not found on their normal search engine. Users of the service are allowed to submit their content directly and since many of these users are selling goods and services, Google has begun to consider adding ecommerce functionality to Google Base.
