just a note, let me know what you think

That is a fantastic point you've brought up. Simulate an order on my site LiveWebShop.com , add a book or something to the shopping cart and hit checkout. You'll see that checkout actually takes place on my site, and not on Amazon's (no redirect). The best part about it, is that it's using Amazon's checkout process (best in the world to my knowledge). Many people redirect the visitor to Amazon's site, but then again many people don't know what they are doing.

Great point though, but I've kinda covered that issue.
