Google shutting down Google Checkout on Nov 20, 2013 FURTHER INFORMATION

No you did not. You see, that is your problem. You don't even know what your own post says or what questions to ask. (and the way you quote mine is even worse)
Clue: Your "email evidence" deals with hosts already signed up for Checkout for Digital Goods being automatically transitioned to Wallet for Digital Goods or web hosts being associated with digital goods.
You have said nothing, zero, zilch about just signing up on the Wallet for Business web site as "Internet and Networking" goods -- except to disparage me and make other rude comments because I am telling others about my experience signing up for exactly that. I am providing information on how a host can use Wallet without violating any Google TOS or other agreements. Nothing wrong with that. Conversations you may or may not have with phone reps about products one may or may not use is irrelevant

another email from Google
You proved my point. Web hosts can use Wallet
I have attached a list of "Primary Product Types" you can sell with Wallet For Business. This comes right off of my account page Note that the list stops at T in the picture. You can see the TOS also. I would be more than happy to copy and paste that here also
But I already know that you won't let facts stand in the way of your narrow focus

You proved my point again. Web hosts can use Wallet
But its funny how you never quote me correctly or completely.
The difference between you and me is this -- you make negative proclamations, and I create solutions
Either lead, follow or get out of the way

CANT means they cannot use Wallet. stop arguing when you have lost i have emails from GOOGLE what have you got NOTHING
I have their web site and instructions!
I have their TOS!
I have an account! As a web host!
I've listed 3 other hosts that also use Wallet
....and the rest of my previous posts that anyone but you can understand!...attachments included!
:shaky::disagree: A few emails that answers only your narrow questions is not the final authority.

I think this is true and give them time and they will most likely come up with another solution for web hosting when they find their revenue is down as i know many hosts that use Google Checkout
That is not what they said. They said hosting is not a digital good. Of course you will always get the same answer when asking the same question (at least one would hope). Why not follow up with a question like "well, how do I use wallet to sell physical goods?"
Google Wallet for digital goods is formerly known as In-App payments. Web hosts don't use In-App payments as far as I know. No one is claiming you can sell web hosting inside of Angry Birds
They have two APIs: one called Google Wallet for Instant Buy (previously known as Google Wallet for Online Commerce) and one called Google Wallet for digital goods (notice that "digital" and "goods" is not capitalized).
Google Wallet for Instant Buy is "A cloud-based method of accessing and storing payment information, Google Wallet Instant Buy lets buyers purchase physical goods and services on mobile websites and desktop web apps. Buyers can easily access their payment information and make a transaction in a single click or tap. "
Bottom line to date: A host can still use Wallet, as I have already proven time and time again by: (1) Signing up as a Web Host (2) Listing other hosts that use Wallet and (3) providing attachments supporting (1).
Everything on their website, including legal documents support my conclusions. Any web host innocently getting to their site can sign up for Wallet merchant account.

Just for you I have gone ahead and replied to my contact and asked the very question you said
"how do I use wallet to sell physical goods?"
The response:
"how do I use wallet to sell physical goods?"
The response:
Thanks. But she is suggesting you use Google Checkout with a cart that already has it implemented for you. I think we already know we can use Google Checkout. Maybe you should tell her whmcs is a good cart too
What about Wallet? Make her answer your question. Get her to say there is absolutely no way web hosts are allowed to use Wallet

Hi Alex.
As i seem to get replies from a different Google contact i asked the same question, to see if they give any different answers.
notice how he states

What I notice is no one has mentioned or asked about web hosts or the meaning of "internet and networking" products. If you look at my attachments one can sell Time Shares and Airline Tickets too. Other than what is happening with Google Checkout, there are no notices of any changes.
Thus the proper question has still not been asked. Web hosts are still using Wallet, the list of excluded products have not changed, and web hosts can still sign up for Wallet without any caveats from Google. So I stick to my story, which is written on the web pages on Google for merchants to read
And no one has accepted my Just Sign Up challenge and post what they see. (Sign up for Wallet, not Checkout)

A quick summary of the issue with GC and GW
post 1
I understand that you want to know if web hosting is accepted by Google Wallet for digital goods (GWDG). Since it is a physical good, web hosting can't be associated with GWDG.
post 5
I understand that web hosting is a service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. But as per Google, it is a service that is tagged as a physical service.
post 23
This is something Google will not inform anyone to do as Google class web hosting as physical goods and not digital goods.
I have explained earlier that since it is a physical good, web hosting can't be associated with GWDG.
post 29
Web hosting is a kind of service and services are classified as Physical Goods, thus not eligible for Google Wallet Digital Goods. examples of Digital Goods are MP3s, apps, ebooks, coins in game applications.
post 35
Google Wallet can no longer be used to sell physical goods.
Google have stated many times they class web hosting as Physical Goods which they have stated Wallet can no longer be used to sell Physical Goods (web hosting)

Sorry but that doesn't do it for reasons that should be obvious by now. Hint: http://www.hostingdiscussion.com/168809-post37.html
