Google Checkout

How safe is Google Checkout to use with ebay? I won an auction and the guy demands that I use Google Checkout to pay him. I've not heard of it before tonight nor do I know how safe, etc it is.

Google checkout is very safe. Probably safer than paypal. BUT ebay does not allow it to be used as a form of payment currently, so it is up to you if you pay via it or not. Technically, the user could get in trouble for even offering google checkout, let alone requiring it.

Auction says payment can be by check or money order. I remembered he listed ebay when I bid on it this morning. He told me he wanted me to pay via that. Is there anywhere on ebay I can report this perhaps?
