"Crush" seems extreme. It seems like PayPal is trying to build hype while undermining its prime competitor by leaking documents to a pliant TechCrunch writer. It would have been nice to have comment from Amazon or developers who actually are considering these types of services.
Edit: Developers out there considering such a payment service -- does the fact that Amazon offers other useful cloud services (EC2, and the storage service) potentially make its FPS more attractive than PayPal's offerings? In the enterprise IT world, some companies like to go through one vendor to streamline vendor points of contact (or they are forced to go through one vendor, owing to a lack of interoperability) -- is there a similar desire among small, online-oriented companies that might use these payment services?
- rjurney 17y agoFor one thing, to use Amazon payments person to person, you had to hook a bank account to your account. Which makes it basically useless - most people won't, they like using paypal credit card based cashes.
