Yeah, Amazon's got trust, an established relationship, excellent customer service/satisfaction, and a good payment management history, all of which are crucial in online commerce (and for all of that I still prefer not to use them, for what it's worth).

Musing over my own post, I can think of instances where the same would not be true. A financial trading platform in particular -- trades are already occurring at volume, and lost time would be lost trades.
