I order stuff all the time from Amazon and have never had a problem. They are very safe and have a wonderful return policy; even pay for return shipping most of the time. Just be sure you order items from Amazon and not third party sellers.

Not a bad site but I only use coupons...I don't trust them with my credit card. They are 90% of the time overpriced but every once in a while they are dirt cheap.

I buy all my books for work, photography, and gifts on Amazon! They are awesome and I save so much money--would pay much more per book at a Chapters, Coles...etc

1)Is there an actual setting on Amazon to display only Amazon products?

Because the stuff im looking at is been sold by third party sellers....but they did both have excellent reviews.

See i realy want to get my stuff off amazon because its realy cheap,i can get my clear plastic phone case + 12 pack of anti-scratch screen protectors for just over £5 with free delivery....if i had to purchase these from a phone shop over here were talking £12 or more just for the case!

And...

2)Does those third party sellers get your card details? or is it only Amazon who has those details?

Thanks guys i realy appreciate it :) :good:

1. The ones from Amazon you can just click add to basket on the items page. The ones from sellers you have to go onto the new & used page, select your seller's item and then add the item from the specific seller.

What was said about don't buy from 3rd party sellers though, i disagree. I have used loads of them, in fact on amazon i just about only use them because there is always someone on there who sells it cheaper than amazon do. Amazon is like ebay with the sellers, so just look at their number of reviews and their percentage of possitive reviews. If they seem ok, then go for it, if they have less than say 40 reviews and/or less than 85%, don't go with them

2. Amazon is an inbetween, like Paypal is on ebay, so the person you buy off enver sees your details, they will see your money going over and that is it

I had some issues in the past with Amazon while it was not really Amazon's fault they were still responsible for not keeping them out. (I don't wish to explain the situation either.)

I also don't trust ebay either....the only places that get my info is Newegg, Tigerdirect, and Monoprice

Ebay has a expired credit card still and I wont be fessing up to it with my paypal account which has a "closed" account with 0 funds in it. This protects my cash so I don't have issues later.
