From my perspective as a shopper at Amazon, their #1 problem is lack of selection. There are many things I buy online which, if offered there, I would buy from Amazon at a reasonable price. Finding nothing there or even in Z-shops sends me elsewhere. As has already been mentioned here this season, inventory problems have plagued Amazon as well. Oh well, maybe we'll hear a few words of explanation on the 31st. Randy, I really believe Yahoo has this down correctly. Using their search on their shoppiong site, one may find almost anything. The problem is split shipments due to almost all the stores on their site now brick and clicks. Amazon has the same problem which I do not see how they can correct it. It is almost impossible to know what the consumer is going to buy in a geographic area at a specific time. Yahoo's search for shopping is well done although better grouping may help. AOL's shopping is not nearly as good in my opinion.
