A quick update on the world of eCommerce, as seen from the perspective of mass media.

• Reuters points out what any eCommerce store owner already knows, and what we reminded you of the other day. Cyber Monday Doesn’t Really Exist.
• The New York Times looks at the increasing use of alternative payment methods such as PayPal and Google Checkout by retailers. Retailers are using promotions to push customers to use these methods as they save on the processing fees in place for credit card transactions.
• And all of this comes on the heels of the release of PayPal’s new Secure Card software today.
