Battle of the E-Tailers - Q409

If there's one drawback of online shopping during the holiday season (as opposed to standing in long lines), it's buggy software. With that in mind, we've decided to make E-tailers the subject of this quarter's Bug Battle. Here they are, in no particular order:

The release is open from midnight (EST) on November 5 to November 11, 2009 at 11:59 pm. During that time, hundreds of other testers from around the world will search for GUI, technical and functional bugs in the aforementioned E-tailers.

To win, all you have to do is find a bug and submit it to us through our online platform. The bugs must be original - bugs that are already known are not eligible - and because these are publicly available applications, we do not pay per bug like we usually do. Instead, we award prizes in several categories. For more on the rules and prizes, click here.

Once the competition is over, testers will fill out a survey, ranking each app in terms of usability, intuitiveness and other criteria. As with previous competitions, we'll be awarding over $3000 in prize money for:

Top overall tester (based on quality of bugs and feedback)
Judges' Choice Award
Top five individual bugs
Top five feedback (about the feature set, functionality and usability)
