That is not a good idea, since then you are given them your private key.
I trust Amazon, but not that much. People have posted on the /r/onions
or /r/tor subreddit with similar pay-for-prefix services, and they
continue to get shot down for this same reason. It's better to
brute-force the prefix yourself.

Facebook's onion prefix is impressive, but I think it was a coincidence
and good luck, which is also reiterated in this blog post:
