Amazon Payments

[autosweeper]

Hi

I can't and actually no longer what to use paypal.

I'm looking at using amazon payments.

What do I need to get a an account up and running to accept payments from people.

For example do I need to add a credit/debit card, and if so can I use entropay? What other steps for verification do I need to go through?

Can I use it on a website? Also if I do a deal with someone in private can I have them simply fire over a payment from their own amazon payment account straight into mine?

You will need a credit card - you cant use Entropay - you should still learn about Amazon Ghost info to understand how Az can link you.

As for exact mechanics, wait for other people to chime in with more experience. I am also testing some stuff out on the payment platform only but I am plagued for time :(

its ok im a pro with paypal i know all about changing windows user accounts and ip switching...

So can I sign up to amazon using stealth info?

Buy the Amazon stealth guide.

Read the forum and then read it again an again and ask questions before opening a stealth account.

I researched for months before opening stealth accounts and I still make mistakes. Don't rush.

If you have an existing personal amazon account you can use that to cross over to amazon payments. That's a shorter way to get going to receive payments.

The card info on that account will be OK for amazon payments. Once you decide to get going, accept payments or add a bank account, you need to carry out certain steps including verify the email address.

Bit silly here. You set up secret questions/answers. Do not ever forget them. amazon say they can not be changed so do not tempt losing access to your funds. When you do the questions, you end up with a code to enter to verify your email address with the usual email giving a link & more info to add codes etc.

Bear in mind, you have to encourage buyers to use this. That can take effort. I'm quite liking the concept. Been using them for both USA & UK sites since last November.

Check also if digital downloads or services are supported. They sure were not supported for the UK. ( & that was a downer )

Ok great thanks GB

Can it be used for payments on your own e commerce website as well?
