I would say its good in theory.   I certainly felt good splurging on
GNOME's Amazon Store recently.    The only difference I see is that
you'll have to actively promote sellers to donate to GNOME.   And
finding out who those sellers are is probably a lot more work.   But
still... if it gets something, go for it!
