Amazon Payments to remove person-to-person payment option
Just got this in my email. Looks like it's curtains for using AP to quickly meet minimum spend...

Good night sweet prince.
It seems we've been saying goodbye to many old friends in the last 6 months. Our good friend Wally may be next on the chopping block. Prepare for the APOCALYPSE people! |
I saw this in another thread.
However where does it actually say that in the User Agreement? Majority of people use this for innocuous small items like paying the babysitter. They are going to eliminate that entirely? |
Well that's not cool.
Might as well do A->B->A this month and next month. |

Old Terms
P3.1 General. You may make payments to any person who has a valid e-mail address and a Payment Account or establishes one with us. Unregistered users may not access funds sent to them until and unless (a) they create a Personal Account or Business Account and verify their e-mail address and (b) we verify their identity in accordance with Section 2.3. If an intended recipient does not have a Personal Account or Business Account, he or she will be notified that a payment request has been initiated and prompted to create an account by visiting our Site. When you send a payment, you remain the owner of those funds until that payment is accepted by the recipient. We hold those funds on your behalf, but you will not be able to disburse or send those funds to any other user unless the initial transaction is cancelled or rejected. If a payment is denied or unclaimed by the recipient, the funds will be returned to the sender (less applicable fees). We are not liable to any person for any damages associated with any unaccepted payment. Any time you send funds you are doing so at your own risk. New Terms B3.1 General. You may use your Payment Account to make purchases of goods and services wherever Amazon Payments is accepted. |

It doesn't say anything about P2P payments in the new agreement. Thats what it means to eliminate something.

That's unfortunate. At least it lasted as long as it did.

So does that mean we need to set up business accounts with Amazon so we can accept payments for "services"? They're probably eliminating P2P since they recently released the ALR :(
|
with these revisions in T&C, I'm just glad I didn't set up ALR so I don't have what if's in my mind on what they'll think of next.
|
Well, at least it's after Oct. 1 so I can get my Discover Q4 CB.
I don't understand the point of this service if they get rid of the person to person payments though. No one else uses this on their website to accept payments. |
No more AP? Dammit! I literally just started!
I guess we can still register additional family and neighbors to repay them for goods and services until 10/13, right? |
Damn :(
