Both Amazon Payments and Google Checkout are now available in the UK, at the same pricing level as PayPal.
The two main complaints levelled at PayPal in TFA are poor customer service and poor technology - two aspects that Amazon have been very good at in my experience.
Does anyone have much experience with these platforms and their use by "normal" UK consumers?
Interesting to hear that Amazon Payments is available in the UK now, but they still seem to be physical products only, no digital downloads, services, etc. so that limits their usefulness.
FWIW, we looked into Google Checkout/Wallet but the unclear branding and some tight rules about how you had to present the option on your web site put us off before we got very far.
I tried using Google Checkout early in my business and it had a fatal flaw of not letting me sell things in US dollars and British pounds but only British pounds. Since 90% of my business is in the US, it was a non-starter. I have to wonder if they've improved it since, though.
