Why wouldn't they compete with everyone that is a material cost to them? 10 basis points on their revenues is already approaching $100M/year. My guess is they pay quite a bit more than 10 basis points too (spent a while looking for reliable source to corroborate this but couldn't find one). AMZN seems to want to do everything they can to expand and lower their costs; I don't know why credit card fees would be excluded from this. They could develop a completely novel solution over time. My guess is they will become much more serious about payments over time because of articles like this[1] and this[2].
