Robert,
The best thing to do is to call E-trade, about 1/2 hour before the
market opens, and ask for the manager of the options desk. Tell
that person your story. Provide documentation (time of order)
if you have it. Request a "time and sales" for the time period
that is in question. Ask them to cancel the trade (unless AMZN
is indicated to open down 5 points, in which case forget this
long post).

I don't think the 10-up rule that Glenn mentioned is the reason
you didn't get filled for 1 1/2 hours. No market order is allowed
to wait that long, and its especially inconceivable for AMZN options
which are traded on, I think, three different exchanges. Someone
will make you a market, and most exchanges, actually go by a 20-up
guideline where they'll usually honor the bid/ask on orders of
20 cars and less.

The sooner you try to take care of this, the better your chances.
Especially with options that expire day after tomorrow.
