Amazon Marketplace

I have shopped with Amazon for many years now and, apart from the odd blip here and there, it's been pretty much OK. The only niggles I have are that the shipping from non-Amazon sellers can be very high. Also, as a seller, their postage allowances ...

If you want an iconic example of corporate greed, look no further. This is the kind of mega-loser that makes folks like Newegg, LL Bean and Crutchfield look so good by comparison. These chumps have gotten *way* too big for their panties. Every ...

When looking for a better priced alternative for the latest books, CD's and DVD's, Amazon Marketplace offers a great solution. The prices can't be beat and the condition of the merchandise is almost always as advertised. I have purchased a number of ...

I saw that a Canon 135mm 2L lens was in stock on Tuesday, October 3 for the Amazon store, not the other dealers you can buy from there. I ordered it on Tuesday morning from the Amazon store because it said it was in stock and shipped it overnight as I ...

Beware of the product when Amazon says 1-2 weeks delivery. In my case and what i have experienced they often do not have the product in stock and it takes a lot longer than 2 weeks for the delivery. You can see that they do not have a feature that says ...

Amazon had a problem verifying by billing address (although I used the same Billing address for many other purchases in many other internet stores). the never called me back, only sent emails with FAX number (come on... who uses Fax for regular ...

The idea is a great one, but so far, I've had two unsuccessful experiences with purchasing from amazon's marketplace sellers. In both situations, Amazon guarantees the purchase, so I have been refunded. However, amazon won't refund you (even though the failure of the purchase was due to the seller) for 2 to 3 weeks. This is strange, since the charge is made right away. I find this suspicious. Also, watch out when making purchases from "newly launched" sellers...

I'd stay away from Amazon Market Place. I have gotten too many notes from Sellers apologizing for advertising products that are sold out. Of course I get the note after they have money.

I'm very happy with Amazon. Shipping is fast - I received my monitors in only a few days. Return policy is generous - 30 days no hassle - I had no trouble returning one item. Prices are good. Overall, a very good experience with electronics
(and other items purchased.) I buy mostly from Amazon when I can.

A WORD OF WARNING!! DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE IF YOU ARE A FREQUENT PURCHASER.

I am a longstanding frequent customer of Amazon purchasing new and secondhand books from its inception in the UK and during the last 5 years I have placed roughly 900 orders for books and other items. Many of the books were through Amazon Marketplace i.e. out of print items. I placed these orders on the basis that Amazon act as guarantor and will refund my money if the goods do not arrive and,overall,have made a total of FIVE claims for books which have never arrived. I would emphasise I have only made a claim after querying the non-delivery with the seller and receiving no response. I am now advised by Amazon I can make no further claims in my lifetime.

I accept that amazon must protect itself against fraud by buyers but a limit of five claims in a lifetime for frequent purchasers is simply not reasonable. If Amazon allows sellers to offer books via their site then equally they should guarantee refunds for non-delivery on a more proportionate basis.

Item was advertises at a sale price and ordered, but tracking showed it in UTAH for an entire week, I did not receive the item, but back at Amazon the item price increased by 33%. They told me the item was probable lost in transit.
Two weeks earlier an item was ordered as a Christmas gift for a child, the order was held up for a week (mid-December) before I was told it would not ship until February.
I will never buy from Amazon again. Buy.com seem to deliver what you order, at the price you see online, within the time frame promised.

We tried to order a DVD player that they said was in stock, and the ship time was 1 to 2 weeks. Well after 2 weeks they notified us that it would not be available for possible another 2 weeks!!! And it's still listed as IN STOCK on their website. Also as far as Books go if you are looking for the best sellers list yes they have that. If you are looking for some older books, Nope not a chance. Other sites have them. What gives???

Fast delivery. Very satisfied. Product came packaged very well. Bought a reconditioned item. Was kind of leary at first, but now we're sold on reconditioned. Saved a lot of money. Very convenient. Didn't have to run around looking for our products. We now do a lot of shopping at Amazon Marketplace.

Amazon has been quite good to me over the last two years ,It has provided me with competitive prices and great postage costs considering it gets posted half way around the globe.
I would recommend them to anyone who likes dealing with creditable staff and reasonably priced products.Usually find value for money.
I would like that some of the gifts were for Australians as well, but oh well.Hopefully they'll see this and change that.

Then agian i was always told i was a dreamer.
But great site ,good prices.
