I thought they'd been making profit for a while now, evidently not, I find that pretty surprising with them being such a big player in that market.

Did make money!
What about this huge law suit hanging over them, about their website not being handicap friendly. Serious. Whats next ....websites for the blind.
Come on justice take a reality check and leave Amazon alone!

about six months ago i ordered a 5.1 Sony speaker system from amazon worth £200. i got a confirmation email, the money was taken from my account, and the box was delivered with an invoice saying that it was a 5.1 Sony speaker system costing £200. when i opened it it was a Sony 5.1 DVD Player and Surround Sound system worth £550. i sold it on ebay for £500 (i had a DVD player and amp), and re-ordered my speakers system from amazon for £200.
maybe f#ck ups like that is the reason why they have only just made a profit.

i ordered 4 books the other day, all of them said available 2-3 days, however, after I ordered it turned out that 3 of them were going to take 4-5 weeks!
I cancelled the order.

something similar happened to me a while back, rasko. i'd ordered 6 or 7 books (and specified that they be sent in one package) which i needed quite quickly. i checked back a few days after ordering and one had changed to 3-5 weeks. so i switched my order pref to 'dispatch when ready', meaning that it ended up being 7 separate packages. this wouldn't have been too bad, but it coincided with a hotel putting a 'hold' on #500 from my bank account, which was more than was in the account at the time. so basically, every one of the 6 transactions that went through from ebay while this hold was on meant that i incurred a #25 charge from my bank.
i got the money back in the end, but it took about a month to sort it all out.
