The only thing I'd look for would be EV SSL. No "green bar", no credit card.

That's a bit over the top. Virtually the only sites with an EV certificate are financial institutions. If that was your standard, you wouldn't be comfortable shopping with Amazon or Wal-Mart.

I make an exception for Amazon as they are a big, known site. I mean "shady site I've never seen before". I'll see if it has EV SSL. If it doesn't, it depends how badly I want the item it's selling. Most stuff can be bought on Amazon.

By the way, some non-financial websites use EV SSL, such as Twitter. I don't see why Amazon can't get a cert.
