Technically, no. I doubt Amazon would risk the publicity and attempt to garnish your wages or pursue your assets; you could, of course, declare bankruptcy to protect your home from their judgement if they went so far as to obtain one.

No? There is a big difference between "Technically no" and "uh they probably won't" - especially when it comes to legal matters.
Remember the home repossession was an example - I don't even fall under US law. The house thing was code for "legally the can wipe you off the map".
You do. That exactly is the problem & why I started this off-topic angle thread bitching about the lack of limits. You can limit the actual charge on the credit card, but I see nothing capping the legal liability. i.e. They could in theory reposes your home because of an unpaid AWS account. In theory - I'd love to have someone prove me I'm wrong in this thinking. Until someone does though...this seems way too risky for a hobby/toy.
