You seem to be using iFrames which is a bad idea. They do not work in this context, and even more importantly, your customers will probably not be able to pay... Payment gateways routinely do not process transactions out of an iframe.
Re-arrange your site's structure to conform to standard ZC schemas. You can get a huge array of layouts just by tweaking the CSS and other standard design parameters.

Pu,
Even I can do a little bit of this, so that means most anyone can as well.
You can find FireFox and Firebug here. https://www.mozilla.com/firefox

I expect the Amazon content has a fixed width which is not affected by your overall site percentage width.
Since it is in an iframe, it obeys its own rules and not your site's rules.

I would assume since Amazon does iframes that their payment processing does work through iframes.

Maybe it does... you should test and find out, or at least get explicit official confirmation from Amazon that it does.

It's possible... but one needs to investigate the context of their iframe usage.
I use iframe on some zencart shops, but only in ezPages where I call in a guestbook, or external form.
Ask Amazon if this will be an issue.
Additionally, it is the payment gateway that will be the stumbling block.
I know that PayPal will reject transactions coming out of an iframe.

Are you actually selecting products and paying all in Amazon.com, or is it referred back to your site?

This amazon thing is an Astore. The customer selects the products (that I have hand selected) and paying for them through amazon. It is really that the customer is buying from amazon and I am just a website promoting these books and getting a commisssion.
I use zencart for most products but I can add this for ones that I cannot afford to stock in my store

I am struggling to figure out what exactly I have to change to make my page large enough to show the entire frame.

Actually this whole thing was amazons fault. They put 80% of the width of the frame as showable. I switched it to 100% and now it works wonderful. It actually is set up that one you select that you want it and proceed to checkout it goes to amazon.com and you complete the transaction there earning me refferal commissions.
