Has anyone used Amazon Payments?

Seems like a decent alternative to PP with no fees!

There are a few other apps I have seen on the iPhone that might be viable alternatives for smaller transactions with no fees.

Thoughts?

so, basically it's a PP gift, eh, w/o running the risk of having your account closed?

I see this: https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdu...faq#wpWithdraw
Which says there are no fees for withdrawal. But there may be fees with Credit card payments? Not sure if this applies to personal payments.
Ive opened my account, but havent tested it yet. Hopefully someone can let us know.

Some other options:
https://www.dwolla.com/
Dwolla looks nice- Though it doesnt let you use credit cards.

Venmo is another I found that covers CC fees up to $500.

I just spoke with an Amazon.com rep.

There are NO fees when using you PERSONAL Amazon Payments account and using a bank account.
There are also NO fees up to $1000/month when using a credit card!

Also, there is a dispute center if needed.

So all in all. For small items less than a $1000 this is a great option. Also, perhaps even $2000, as the limit resets at the end of the month - in case you buy something near the end of the month.
