You missed the biggest and for me most important thing with Amazon compared to ebay.

ever heard of prevention being better than cure?

You are completely delusional my friend. You're only not part of the program UNTIL you have an accident. Its like people who get their houses broken into - well I was OK UNTIL I got burgled. Of course you were, because its the first time it happened.

In a similar vein, www.earbits.com is a really nice site for independent music.

You can always reduce or eliminate the 18% at your discretion. Its their way of 'encouraging' you to pay 18%

Most of the posts here are for USAA. I can't access them due to non-military. But Ally has been decent so far. SOME interest (at least compared to HSBC that I had), no issues with the banking / debit cards so far.
