When you use Google Checkout, they take a 2% fee out of 
anything you transfer. Assuming Alex was paying his guy
$50k a year we're talking $1000 just to transfer him the
money.

If the money is wired instead using Xoom for example, it'll
cost $5 to send, and probably another $15 or so to receive,
for a total of $20 a month - or $240 a year.

>From a legal perspective it doesn't matter how you transfer
the money. Just because it's via Google Checkout doesn't
make it legal - it just means you're treating him like a
vendor. You could do the same thing with a wire transfer
if he gave you an invoice.
