Google Wallet (I think that's what it was called) sucked from my past
experience. Failed authorizations gave ambiguous or incorrect reasons;
and once a transaction was corrected, there was no way to resubmit or
re-try the transaction.

There were a few times my transaction was blocked due to DLP. Once I
called the bank and cleared it, I had to submit a new transaction
because the previous could not be re-tried. Then, the new transaction
caused the past transaction to be re-tried, so I'd end up with two
orders. Then there was no way to contact a real person at Google to
fix it (only self-help crap).

Its been my experience that Amazon is better. I've gotten the books
and hardware I've purchased through them. But I never experienced
Google-like problems with Amazon, so I don't know Amazon reacts to
adverse events like stalled transactions (perhaps that speaks volumes
in itself).

Your mileage may vary.
