So basically you’re saying that Amazon is just expanding the scope of Amazon Payments. It’s too bad that it won’t really work very well, we’ve already seen how Google Checkout basically went no where. Too many people are using PayPal and getting them to just switch isn’t as easy as some might think.

I wouldn’t say that Google Checkout went no where. I think that they just weren’t trying to compete with PayPal, and I actually use Google Checkout whenever possible. It’s pretty convenient, and that way you can hide your email address from the company you’re purchasing from.

Huh, I never knew that. I’m a little surprised that I’ve never seen anyone using them for donations.

As for Amazon trying to compete with PayPal, I do see that this could be a very good thing. I would definitely use it if they created it. I would probably keep my PayPal account for just in case, but if Amazon gets it right I could probably drop it eventually.

I’d definitely stop using PayPal if Amazon came up with a service that would compete with it.

Same here… this just got me thinking about all of the people who accept donations through PayPal, and it would be nice to see Amazon setup a system that could do that as well.
