I think they don’t need to compete with each other because they NEED each other.

It seems like PayPal made it just fine and that Google Checkout is still not where Google wants it. However, I see PayPal screwing up now. They started closing accounts left and right – mainly from people who were selling recurring services using PayPal subscriptions. I don’t know if they really make the right decision?!

I think people might be sick of the rigidity that Paypal has demonstrated, but i can also see how people might feel safer working with Paypal – I’m a perfect example. :) Bring on the competition

i only used google checkout once for the free ten bucks. i tried to use it instead of merchant services on a ecommerce site also for its no fee transactions. people didnt use it and requested alternative methods. as solomon said amazon has a better rep for handling $$$ so lets see if they can grab ANY market share. They better be giving something away to attract users though.

PayPal will remain dominant for a long time, I’m sure. But I think Amazon has more of a chance than Google. I am a Google Checkout user, and I’ve never even used Amazon before. But more of the population uses Amazon, and never even heard of Google’s shopping experience.
