teshra: Yah thanks. I do know about papypal and how it works. Its just a personal preference in that I've avoided using it for this long that I feel I can still hold out since I've previously always had other options I can use. Moreover, I have a bet with a friend that renews every year I don't use it so kind of a challenge too.
I was more curious about the amazon payment option so gonna look into that one.
Amazon payment is exactly the same as Paypal - create an Amazon account, attach a credit card - when you go to pay, you login to Amazon and approve the payment. Kickstarter uses Amazon for it's payments...
As I said, I have both and they've both been fine - so far.
