    Better in a sense that no deduction of your funds through the exorbitant fees charges charged by PayPal. And its speedier too.

    Amazon Payments is a company I trust with a track record of processing transactions large and small for eCommerce purposes. However I'm less familiar with it's abilities to transfer money between individuals, such as the services provided to you by PayPal.

    It serves the same purpose but it's not better than Paypal unless you can't use that for some reason
