Hi,

I am not sure I'm doing this right, or else Google Checkout is seriously unprepared for deployment in the UK. I've got my account, verified my bank details, set up an HTML integration form, and clicked checkout. The form I get looks nothing like the one in the developer's guide - it's very simple, and does not include any of the Google Account signup stuff - great, because I'd prefer my users to pay just with a credit card.

BUT...

The page does not tell the user the amount they will pay nor any of the other info I've posted in my form. County offers a choice of US states (???) Location defaults to United States (Arggh)

Most bizarrely...

Postcode (good start, no sign of 'zip' anywhere) has a help link beside it that takes the user to the US Postal Service website. Hopeless if you're looking for a UK Postcode. Oddly on my Checkout account profile page for OnOneMap it prompts for our business postcode and links to the Royal Mail site in the help link, which is correct.

Am I missing a locale field in the form submission?
