Why would epubcheck (from Google Project Hosting) indicate an error, while another checker gives no error?
The ebooks I produced work perfectly fine on the reading devices with no viewing errors.
Also, does anyone know which check service the major ebook retailers use? Or do they each have their own validation tool?

Did you try the most recent version of epubcheck? The earlier versions were buggy.
All checkers check against specs, they won't tell you if the eBook can be viewed correctly. How many devices did you try viewing it on? It may view on one correctly and fail on another. Even if it passes epubcheck it may still not view correctly due to reasons not related to the spec.
yes, many retailers have their own checkers and epubcheck isn't particularly a good one these days. Checkers are good but you do need to use the latest version for good results.
