    A trademark includes any word, name, or symbol used in commerce to identify and distinguish the goods of one seller from goods sold by others, and to indicate the source of the goods. Trademark law is largely about consumer confusing and protecting the consumer from mis-identified goods.

    Using the Amazon rademark in your domain name would be very fact specific. For instance, the domain usingamazontomakemoney.com could be OK but would depend on what your site actually does.

    My advice is to consult with an attorney concerning your e-commerce plans.
