We used Ask Blue J to write a response:

Yes, those sites are legitimate. According to the IRS FAQ, Pay.gov interfaces with Amazon and PayPal, and the ETCL user fee can be paid using an Amazon account or a PayPal account. This indicates that when you use Amazon or PayPal to pay for the ETCL, you are being redirected to Pay.gov, which is a legitimate and authorized platform for such transactions.
