Oluniyi David Ajao has written a concise and interesting article on Paypal's new look and service features in the face of new competition fron Google Checkout and Amazon. The article also details PayPaal's co-operation with YAHOO and some of Paypal's coming UI and web page changes. Some exerpts: "One can argue that Google Checkout is not exactly a competitor to Paypal, since they are not exactly the same. Google Checkout speeds up your checkout process while Paypal is a complete online payment system. To me, the mere fact that Google Checkout makes online shopping faster (by auto-filling your shipping address and making payment for you without sharing your credit/debit card information) must have made Paypal sit up and offer Paypal Express Checkout."
"These are the highlights (of the coming Paypal web changes):
* PayPal’s home page is getting a new look in a few weeks’ time
* Paypal logo and checkout buttons will all change
* Paypal will be offering local phone support in some more countries
* Disputes and claims will be reconciled faster (now that’s a real claim)"
