Er... yeah. Google Checkout isn't like Paypal - it's intended to be used by businesses to accept payments, not individuals.

Seller sends invoice by email and theres a link to pay.

Seller maps a 'button' for their website to pay.

Yeah - individuals use it to make payments. Individuals don't use it to receive payments (like Paypal). It's intended to be used by individuals to make payments to businesses. Not individual to individual.
