If I was Amazon I wouldn't be selling purchase history to Google. Why would I ? I have no need of the money and Google is one of the few entities that present a visible threat to my well being.

Amazon, like every other retail service, has reciprocity agreements with payers (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, etc.)

Amazon gives up your purchase history to get it from everyone else, for that sweet product retargeting.
