One thing to remember about Amazon is that you may not be purchasing from Amazon. I bought a used flash from Amazon not realizing it was from a single mom in San Diego. We had a problem, but worked it out. I think Amazon is great, but you even need to watch there. No different than eBay.
I agree with you a 100%. I look at the approval rating of the company and I deal with 95% or higher and anything you do online has the possibility of issues. My experience with Amazon has been positive so far. Have I had issues? Yes, but I got them resolved. But for price comparisons, they are invaluable and give you an idea what is out there. I look at different stores. If you are interested in one you could always google the store and find an address and call. I trust Amazon more than Ebay. Ebays's conflict resolution I find is the pits, while Amazon really goes out of their way to help you.
