The way that I see it, EV is a moot point.

I trust that amazon.com belongs to Amazon, Inc because I've used it before
and the name is congruent.

If, however, the first time I was about to do an order on macsales.com I
was a little confused because the branding and company name is actually OWC
/ "Other World Computing, Inc".

(similarly, RPM has the website tophitsusa.com)

EV works to their favor because
• they are not a household name (not very important)
• their website is different from their company name (VERY IMPORTANT)
• they take credit cards (semi-important)

But for most businesses that have the same domain as their company name or
that at least look reputable and not sketchy, it doesn't matter.
