If that's the case, I believe it's just part of CheckOut's Terms of Service. You can probably get a more definitive answer by posting your question in the Google CheckOut merchant forum here: http://groups.google.com/group/google-checkout-merchants-forum Hi Harry, I’m assuming you were trying to sign up as a merchant?
