Paypal is convenient, service sucks, good to see competition at last!

I'm a big fan of Paypal, as a buyer and a seller. It's very convenient.

However, their customer service and dispute resolution is awful. They have the arrogance of a bank and none of the legal accountability.

It's great to see some real competition - I moved my sites over to Google Checkout recently and I've been recommending it to all my clients due to the total lack of fees. Will be interesting to see what their fee schedule will be when they start charging - hopefully this additional competitor will keep costs down across the board.

Hopefully FPS will take off, too many of Amazon's ideas have never really gone anywhere despite being potentially revolutionary (Mechanical Turk, anyone?).
