當初ebay在收購paypal之前,paypal其實只是一間小公司,甚至bidpay
都還比paypal有規模許多,以消費者理的立場,當然是以方便與安全為主,
paypal就做到這點,雖然老是要冒著被鎖帳號的缺點,但是他就不像bidpay
,使用上方便許多(我用過幾次bidpay,付個幾塊錢美金就要你打電話去verify)
也因為成功的結合金流,ebay在全球個人網路購物的地位,迅速成功的竄升到第一位
,這點是當初amazon所始料未及的吧,也許是低估對手造成一個ebay網購巨人的產生
其實ebay這種結合自家的金流系統,有許多人在效法,例如台灣yahoo與ezpay,大陸
淘寶網與支付寶,不過都是區域性的系統,還沒有人做到paypal全球的規模
所以如果amazon想自己來結合一個自家的金流,我想目地只有一個,要做到全方面的跨國
,因為礙於金流的限制,amazon中還有許多廠商不做國外生意,只不過在網路平台的戰
爭中,大者橫大似乎是不變的定律,除非對手犯錯,要不然amazon要走ebay-paypal
的模式,而重回網購平台的老大地位,我想難上加難,畢竟在網路中,習慣與信任這兩個
元素是很重要的平台發展基石
以上是本人的淺見

: 只是因為是競爭者嗎?據說Amazon也要推出自己的金流,
