If you wanted to buy on amazon you do that because of convenience, price, service etc. and simply because you're used to it. <br />If Amazon is down most people will not bother to search for another shop, check for shipping terms, registering and so on, but simply try again later.<br />And that's the reason it's hard if not impossible to measure these delayed buys. People don't know when the site is up again and so they will come back at any time after. Some will come back right after it's up again, some an hour, some five, some a day or two after. So they disappear in the noise.<br />What will definitely be lost are the spontaneous buys and that may be a good fraction of expected volume.Tobiasnoreply@blogger.com
