Amazon and eBay have an advantage because they are cutting out a middle-man such as Google, and have your audience come directly to you - global audience for eBay, and for Amazon only if you’re not selling food or technology.

Thanks. Google Chrome should fix that at least a little bit for me.

Sean: Sounds like a plan! These issues will probably be discussed at our e-commerce mingle events in Gothenburg (#ehandel031).

Americans can already add items to their Amazon carts through tweets. Pictures posted on Pinterest already take people to webshops. Social selling will become more compatible with mobile platforms through things already mentioned below - security, easy checkout, ease of use. Only time and technology can improve it.

I can't see it changing all that much. When it comes to eCommerce, the most important parts are data security, easy checkout, and ease of use.

How about using specialized e-commerce platforms like Tictail and Meylah?

I was writing about a specific websites that specialize in selling products. This doesn't mean businesses should abandon their own webshops, and the tools you linked - when it comes to quick checkout options for mobile users; they only help your webshop.
