Daniel Buchner: No, it isn’t very good, I’ve been in on the Beta for a while, one issue is, it’s an all inclusive service, the other is, they should just accept PayPal, I don’t need to be managing two accounts with my money when I could be managing one, Amazon is just hurting itself with this childish nonsense.

I refuse to use eBay just because there is no guarantee on what I’m buying, as someone said before their customer support is a wasteland, because making people return a product or be true to their word is impossible.

As for PayPal, overall it’s a faster, easier service, and the Beta definitely has a flaws, but we’ll see, I likely won’t use it anyhow when it hits public release.

I think paypal have two problems,
First, its fee is too expensive to small unit price saler.
Second, Paypal put all risk to the saler. it only trust to luck when you meet fraud customer.

if Amazon resolve the two problems, I think it will win!

FPS would be perfect for us if it allowed anonymous credit card acceptance (no sending folks off to CBUI for a one time payment).

You also have Revolution Money Exchange which is trying to compete with PayPal.

wake up folks. Amazon made a $140 million investment in Bill Me Later back in December. BML is the PayPal killer. put in your birthdate and the last for digits of your social and bang - instant credit. It’s the easiest payment service on the web and Amazon loves it.

not sure what the problem we are discussing.

PayPal is an unique space and they have mastered it. they have terrific products, global presence, and offer so many currencies.

amazon payments is so so so small. i wonder if they even can gie volume discounts. their FPS is cool.

but payments is not one of those social networks. security, piracy etc need to be top notch.

it is good to have competition. paypal is the leader, amazon and google are followers

If the Amazon Payments checkout experience is anything like the Amazon checkout on Target, sign me up. Makes me wonder if they’re signing up more big-name stores for that sort of thing.

Here’s to hoping that Amazon, or Google, or somebody puts an end to PayPal’s anti-consumer practices. I look forward to the day that PayPal enters the deadpool.

I think if you compare Paypal Vs Google checkout Vs Amazon payments.

Google checkout is cheap. (If you use adwords it’s much cheaper).
Amazon prices look similar to paypal.

Paypal is excellent, and the charge is cheaper than traditional ones. Of course, cheaper is better. More competitions are welcome.
