I just got this email from Google Checkout:

Quote:

We're unable to verify the credit card information you provided during the
signup process. Although you may still accept and charge new orders at
this time, you must provide some additional information before you can
receive payouts.

Please complete the following steps within five business days:

1. Photocopy or scan the front and back of the credit or debit card you
used to sign up. (For security purposes, please conceal the first 12
digits of your card number, leaving only the last 4 digits visible.)
2. Photocopy the front of your driver license.
3. Write your ID (referenced above) on these documents, then fax them to
'Google Account Verification' at 650 644 0159. If you prefer, you can also
attach your scanned documents to an email and respond to this message.

We'll contact you by email again once we've verified your information. If
we are unable to verify your information, your account may be limited and
your orders refunded. If you have any additional questions, please feel
free to respond to this message.

Sincerely,

Jessica
