PayPal vs. Amazon Payments

[Turbonium]

I see a lot of users in the FS forum only use Amazon Payments, or more accurately, refuse to use PayPal. What's the usual reason for this? Philosophical?

but I heard Amazon does help you if you get scammed...

Amazon has a history of better customer service. Paypal basically finds for the buyer in almost every case, from what I've heard. If you're the merchant/seller, they always ding you, according to some. I have no first hand experience with a dispute. No idea if that's actually true.

Really? I'm pretty sure I saw they had similar fees as PayPal when I looker about 6 months ago
