Check again.
Amazon and Dell use tables in conjunction with div and span tags (+css). They are not pure table layouts.
Ebay and yahoo use divs primarily (except in some small areas where tables are appropriate).
All of those sites have been around since before css layouts became popular so it's just easier for them to stick with what they know. That doesn't make it right.
