amazon is safe. check the seller's transaction history if you want to be sure.LoG-Sacramentamazon does it through private sellers and also store too right? ive always been leery of buying from private sellers but i would buy from the stores though
i think that amazon has it's own warehouse for stuff that you buy new. amazon will tell you if they are using an outside source for your order. i have used it many times and haven't had a problem. i prefer to get my games from my local gamestop though. i just like walking into the store and picking up my new game. and getting my receiipt right there.

I've bought tons of things over amazon, and have never had a problem.Allicrombieincluding from private sellers? they have a user rating system similar to ebay?
[QUOTE="Allicrombie"]I've bought tons of things over amazon, and have never had a problem.slvrraven9including from private sellers? they have a user rating system similar to ebay? Yep. Like someone said above some stores use Amazon as their online seller. Buy used books like this all the time without problems. It's sweet to get a handwritten thank you note in the box that these private sellers have time to put in as well. Turn around time is slower than buying from Amazon brand new, but if you're not in a hurry (judging you want to save money on buying games) the wait will be worth it.

Amazon.com is usually the place i go to get old PC games that I can't find anywhere else and get them for dirt cheap. I've never been screwed over by that site or the private sellers and i think i've probably spent thousands on that website.

I've bought dozens of items from the private sellers at Amazon, and everything has come on time, and just as advertised.
And from Amazon I've bought a few things that arrived on time as well.
I like buying games off Amazon where I'm not harassed for my trade-ins and to preorder games by some smug man-child who feels the need to provide commentary on my purchases. Amazon for me is the way to go. I had preordered Persona and got my bonus OST disks only two days after release.
I have bought quite a few items from Amazon .com. I have never had a problem, and I trust them.
As for the Amazon Private Sellers, I would not buy from anyone who had a feedback % less than 98. Read the Feedback, and be careful of multiple shipping charges when buying several items on one order.
[QUOTE="Allicrombie"]I've bought tons of things over amazon, and have never had a problem.slvrraven9including from private sellers? they have a user rating system similar to ebay? you can complain to amazon about the private sellers because they have a contract with amazon.
At this point I buy _all_ my games on amazon, unless some other retailer has a really good price deal. You can trust them, absolutely.
Amazon is very trustworthy, I've bene buying games, movies and books from Amazon UK for the past few years with no problems at all.
It can be nice to find a hand written thank you note from time to time, a very nice personal touch. Placed an order for a few things, came up to £112.08 this past Tuesday, all from independant sellers who have a contract with Amazon, all but three have arrived so far and all pretty fast, like Oblivion arriving a little over a day after being ordered. Some times it can be a little slow, but that's more the fault of the post service than Amazon and the sellers.
Aye, you register as a buyer, so debit card or credit card details as well as address for bought items to be sent to and your e-mail address. I'm surprised with how secure Amazon is, I've always been cautious about online shopping, but I have to admit to being highly satisifed with Amazon.
Wow, hey thanks a lot man. im about to get registered and buy my first game from there right now. i do admit still though that i dont like the idea of them having my card information on file but i guess i can always cancel if things go wrong..... thanks a lot man!Aye, you register as a buyer, so debit card or credit card details as well as address for bought items to be sent to and your e-mail address.

Your card information is absolutely safe with Amazon, even when you buy from third party sellers. The reason for this is because the payment goes through Amazon, ergo, third party sellers never see your card details.
Look at it from this perspective: Amazon are an online retail business. They depend on positive word of mouth advertising. If they were not secure to purchase from, word would spread quickly and they would lose a lot of business. They have to be safe and secure in order for them to continue to successfully function in the market.
