I've seen FB payments hyped to the moon lately as a revenue solution to Facebook's advertising 'problems' - my two cents are that Facebook is going to completely flop at mobile payments.
I don't think they can execute the product properly, from either a point of purchase proposition or from an easy-to-use perspective. PayPal struggles with complexity, and I believe Facebook's offering will not only be more confusing than PayPal but more complex. The world only needs (and or will use) more payment solutions if they're radically better, I don't see Facebook building that product, despite the user base they can tap into.
I think Facebook is failing to fix the problems in their existing core product, while they lurch forward into areas they have demonstrated a limited ability to deliver on.
- ashishgandhi 14y agoThe gist of your comment is that you think they can only create something that's more confusing and complex than what PayPal offers? But they already have given a mockup of their two step simple procedure.
