Saying that Amazon is the "e-commerce version of the devil" was a bit of hyperbole on my part. I think "evil" is a stretch. I don't see the people running these companies as your typical movie villain, mischievously twisting the tips of his mustache while a damsel is tied to the train tracks. That said, I do believe that they do engage in very socially unhealthy behaviors. Seeing as how Amazon Payments is part of Amazon's company, I would lump the two together. Paypal (while not related to Amazon) is not without controversy. 2
