I do use amazon (US only, international affiliates have caused me 
more problems) with cookies disabled. It works, though I still think 
it's not the poster child you're looking for.

Have you tried the REST version of the amazon web services? I suspect 
that handles the secure, scalable, and automatable requirements. It 
falls down on the human requirements, and I don't think it allows you 
to order, just query.
