  &lt;p&gt;The ACSI&#160;&#160;E-Commerce Report measured customer satisfaction with the following e-commerce sub-sectors: online retail, online auction, online brokerage and online travel companies. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Most of these sectors performed well in the survey, with &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/"&gt;Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt; achieving a score of 87, one of the highest in the index, but behind US online bookseller &lt;a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/"&gt;BarnesandNoble.com.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Customer satisfaction scores in the online auction section were lower, with &lt;a href="http://www.ebay.com/"&gt;eBay&lt;/a&gt; leading the way on 80 points. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Customer satisfaction with online financial services hit a new high, jumping 2.6% to 78, compared to last year's results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Customers were less happy with online travel sites, with the ACSI score falling 1.3% to 76 points. &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
