Does Amazon accept PayPal?

I know your pain. They dispute and it's my thumb up my ass. Not a damn thing I can do.

It's not quite the same hog though... They just do a checkout service and payment handling rather than the whole online-bank-account thing that PayPal has going for it.

Why would it? They have the same insane fees anyway.

Best news I heard all week. Paypal needs more competition.

Fax us these 5 documents and you can have your money. What the hell, your an internet company, why can I not email you this stuff?Plus I don't know how to use a fax machine. Probably never will.

Read the details about the Flexible Payment Service... This isn't actually a direct competitor to Paypal. FPS is meant for developers and basically has no limits as to what it can be used for. With FPS through its API payments can even go from computer to computer. Also features like micro-payments are totally cool... I think it will be really neat to see what creative ways developers will use this service in their products... This has the potential to be a whole lot more than just a "checkout" payment service.

No, they don't.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. It was a rhetorical question.

As for me, in the view of developer, GoogleCheckout sucks. In the view of a customer - PayPal sucks.Amazon... Let's see, had no experience yet.<a class="user" href="http://www.buyzillion.com">http://www.buyzillion.com</a>

Amazon payment services still is not so popular as it should be. What you think why? I think it is mostly marketing... Online toy stores selling electronics, toys and such consumer goods are not using this service frequently.<a class="user" href="http://www.thebesttoysonline.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.thebesttoysonline.com</a>
