Amazon Planning PayPal, Checkout Competitor

Amazon is planning the launch of an online service to rival PayPal and Google Checkout, reports TechCrunch.

The planned service will be an extension of the existing Amazon Payments, used by third-party sellers on Amazon's platform.

Expected to mirror Checkout, the competitive offering will bring buyers to an Amazon-hosted site when they use it to make payments.
