- makomk 12y agoNah, I'm pretty sure Amazon paid the project directly as part of the transaction - the payments page always showed it as going to both the project and to Kickstarter. I think they used Amazon's product for multi-seller marketplaces: https://payments.amazon.com/help/201364500 https://payments.amazon.com/help/201364500
- saurik 12y agoI imagine they were using Amazon Flexible Payments, which is being sunset in a few months. I am glad to hear that other groups using Flexible Payments have decided to jump ship from Amazon rather than continue to migrate to Amazon's replacement.
