Didn't we have that before Amazon, and it was patchy, required lots of data entry with new accounts and dubious customer service? Amazon succeeded because everyone else was so bad, and now at least there's better payment handling options than random insecure sites storing credit card information in plaintext, but nobody else comes close to providing the range and convenience of Amazon.
Amazon isn't really a shop - it's a logistic company that also sells stuff.
