GlitterSniffer Cosmetics and Google Checkout Followup

GlitterSniffer Cosmetics has been using Google Checkout to process their payments since January when the company was refused access to and use of their Paypal accounts after an investigation. Recently there have been claims filed against GS via Google Checkout for nonreceipt of items.

Several claims have been successful, with GC refunding after a 5 day wait time and no response to the claims by the company.  The process for GC was to file the claim and wait 5 days for a response. According to an email received by a claimant that 5 day waiting period is no longer necessary.

The email from Google Checkout, edited only to remove the recipients identifying information:
