Square — a company best known for the small, white plastic cube that can read credit cards when plugged into a smartphone or tablet — is taking on the likes of Etsy, Amazon, and eBay with the launch of its own online marketplace called Square Market. The expansion from mobile payments to online retail might seem a bit odd to those who don't follow Square, but it's part of an ongoing push from the company to deliver a product to answer each aspect of online commerce. In addition to its card reader, Square makes a mobile wallet app for consumers, a payments app for businesses, and a $299 plastic stand that turns iPads into a cash register replacement. It even has an answer to PayPal in the works with Square Cash.
