No necessity<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s look at these factors in a little more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Direct competition as an online payment service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAmazon Pay\u201d is the brand name of the company\u2019s online payment processing service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amazon Pay was launched in 2007. This was nearly ten years after the creation of PayPal, and five years after PayPal went public in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amazon Pay and PayPal are direct competitors in the same space. This is a serious disincentive to Amazon to make it easy for its customers to use a rival service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Historic rivalry via eBay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
PayPal was spun out of eBay, the giant online marketplace that is the biggest rival to Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up until 2015, PayPal was owned by eBay as a subsidiary. Even though it\u2019s now an independent company, there are strong ties and integration between the two California companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s fair to say that it\u2019s not in Amazon\u2019s interests to provide too much assistance to PayPal, in case that also helps eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoiding extra fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Amazon would have to give PayPal its cut in some way if the marketplace accepted PayPal transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a business, they\u2019d have to pass this on to the customer. But Amazon strives to keep its prices lower than its rivals. The e-commerce giant isn\u2019t rushing to add to its costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it\u2019s reasonable to point out that they accept plenty of other third parties as a payment service. This brings me to my last point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No necessity due to other payment options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Amazon accepts quite a lot of payment methods. MasterCard, Visa, and American Express are just to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, the company can pick and choose from any other payment service that wants to be accepted to their platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They can avoid using PayPal because their customers have many other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
