eBid maintains that Google Shopping requires at least one online payment method be available for items submitted, but Google's Merchant Centre states:
Your websites must provide a way for any user in the target country to purchase the product through an online payment service, directly from the website or through other alternative payment methods such as cash on delivery, invoicing or payment upon collection.
This, as written, does NOT require an online payment method, only that there is some means to pay - whatever means that may be.
Despite previous requests to eBid to explain why their stance (repeated in the newsletter) is at variance with Google's policy I have never had the courtesy of a response.
