PayPal Testing Free Shipping with Some Ecommerce Sites

[jeffweico]

Here is a story on PayPal offering free two day shipping for select retailers this holiday season. More proof they want to be just like Amazon...

I was also reading recently about ebay doing same day delivery as an idea to compete against the network of shipment centers (and eventual delivery in a few hours), that amazon is planning on

Shudders at using paypal for this sort of transaction.

Users who try to have different addresses for delivery may be in danger stealth-wise.

Proceed with caution.

I think it will be QUITE a while before that happens (delivery in a few hours). Maybe in major cities, but to cover the entire country? Doubtful.

Greenie is right about the use of PayPal in a transaction where the merchant would verify the shipping address against the PayPal confirmed address.

Free 2-day shipping wont help if a seller's account gets limited right away....just saying :(
