Amazon Marketplace

Beware. The very cheap third-party offerings for expensive digital cameras on Amazon are are fraudulent. and epinions should not list them. The seller
cancels if you try to order through Amazon and if you contact the seller, as they sometimes suggest, they send you a fake email supposedly from Amazon
telling you they have deposited money with Amazon to make wiring the
money safe. It is not safe and is fraudulent. Obviously there are many
reputable offerings by third parties on Amazon. All of these fraudulent ones
are from new sellers.

Taking its name from the mighty river, Seattle-based online vendor Amazon.com, which first opened its virtual doors in 1995 claims to have the "Earth's Biggest Selection." Selection of what is the question; selection of everything could be   Read full review...

Please update your links and prices - If a printer is sold, for example, you shouldn't be advertising it on and on when it is no longer available and there are no used or refurbished at that price. Don't just suck people in!

Whenever I go look for a good deal online, Amazon Marketplace is the first place I visit. The selections are huge and they sell them for a really good deal. Most of their items qualifies for free shipping when you make a purchase of $25 or above. This saved me even more money.

The best thing about Amazon Marketplace are choices. They have other sellers on site who can offer you a better deal if you don't want to buy from Amazon. Each seller has ratings to see which sellers are more reliable then others.

I bought a couple of items from them before, and the items usually reached my place within 2 weeks using their free shipping option. That includes the time they need to pack it, and 5 - 9 business days for the shipping itself. Please note that the free shipping option only applies to items bought from Amazon, and NOT from other sellers.

Overall, I highly recommend this site for online shopping.

I have no clue why amazon.com has low ratings. I have made total purchases in amazon for $4000 - just digital cameras, books, camera accessories, ipod accessories and cell-phones. At no time have I had trouble. Prompt delivery. If there was a problem, they informed me. Rebates -- no problem at all. I think amazon.com is the online retailer which should show the way to others like dell and buy, both of which suck.

I have been making my music purchases from Amazon.com for a while now. Everyone there is so helpful and nice. My shipments Always arrive as promised and in great condition. Also, they keep their prices affordable for everyone. I have enjoyed my shopping experiences with AMAZON.COM

One of the great aspects of the Amazon marketplace is the variety of merchandise available; you can find albums, books, movies; all kinds of things you've never heard of. However, this can be a pitfall -- as you navigate the site you may lose track of what it was you originally were looking for. I've got about fifty items in my shopping cart that I "want," but don't have the money for or I'm not sure about. It's very tempting.

That said, I've been very satisfied with about 95% of my Amazon orders, with speedy deliveries, very accurate orders, and good customer service.

I have bought toys, cds, text books(for grad school) and even sold my old text books on Amazon.com. It is a wonderful site. They ship quick and send emails relating the status of their shipping or a sellers shipping status. Very user friendly as well. I highly recommend Amazon.com.

Don't do it!!!

I have used it 2 times and both times got cheaper products than what I had paid for.

I homeschool and have purchased books at Amazon Marketplace. I found them to be reasonably priced. The site is easily navigated and easy to check out purchases. I usually compare the products prices and if Amazon is cheaper than Ebay, then that is where I go. I also like that you can buy the stuff right away. They also have set shipping fees, so you are never caught off guard with high shipping costs. I have always received my items packaged with care, and in a timely fashion.

I love Amazon. The digital locker feature is great!
My orders have always shipped quickly.
A wide range of products are available.

Great place to both buy and sell! I buy all my school books here, and sold all my old books that the university wouldn't buy back! You make a lot more money selling on Amazon then selling books to a university. I have both saved a ton of money on school books and then sold them for good money. I recommend it to everyone!

I always enjoy Amazon. I was a vendor for the marketplace. They have a great system in place. The products are delivered on time and accurate. Customer service is fine unless you really are into 'live people'. I'm computer savvy so that doesn't bug me as much.

Very crappy customer service and it's been almost fourteen weeks now since they promised me a 3 day maximum delivery on a $90 video game. Not a phone call or letter from them either.

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.

NEGATIVE REVIEW

On the site it says I can get a calculator for 62.99 but when I click on the price, it comes up as 89.99 or buy used starting at 69.99. That comes across as false advertisement. Not impressed and will not buy from.

I don't really like to shop in malls. I always seem to find that they are sold out of/don't carry what I'm looking for, and I always seem to waste a full day going out there only to be told that that they don't have what I want to buy. This, of course,   Read full review...

I love using Amazon store. Especially at Christmas time. It is great not to have to leave the house and still get GREAT bargains. The items come in a reasonable amount of time and are always shipped in nice packaging. The fact that they cater items to your liking for gift ideas for yourself and others is also a Great feature that they offer. This is a great place to find gifts for yourself and others!

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...

Amazon market place are UNNECEPTABLE they should not be a company.Where should I Start the customer service is terrible,so was the delivery speed and almost everything else in the company is terrible!I ordered a Pc game and I still have'nt got anything!Not even an email!

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.

I ordered a Canon G5 camera on March 28th 2004 through Amazon. They promised to ship it by April 2nd and I would get the camera by April 6 - April 8th.
But on April 2nd, I get a mail/ Online Intimation saying the camera would be delivered only by May 26th.

Hence I cancelled my order and ordered it via BuyDigitalDirect.com. I ordered it on April 3rd, but got a mail asking me to contact them cause they had to verify my shipping address and I called them on 4th
Monday morning and I received my camera by April 5th Tuesday morning. Wow !! What more can I ask for?

P.S. This experience is only with Electronic Stuff I ordered via Amazon. I have shopped for Books via Amazon and they are the best. So, use your discretion between Books and Electronics.

New Super Saver shipping policy of not sending out materials until 4-6 days after order is placed (even for items listed as "usually ships in 24 hours") equates to poor customer service. There is no reason to delay a shipment in a competitive market just because the company promises to ship the item for free. Barnes and Noble, for example, doesn't "hold" shipments that are free, nor do other retailers, and if I go to a retail store, I can get the product immediately without paying shipping costs and thereby spending as much as I would at Amazon for more costly shipping methods. I'll be happy to start buying books and music elsewhere.

Very good experience, fast shipping, exactly what I wanted and customer service was impeccable. Package was shipped promptly and protected very nicely.

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???

I was addicted to Amazon over christmas, got all my shopping done with it. However, their customer service department sucks. I really wouldn't shop with them again unless I was really desperate (I would shop amazon before walmart, though...). Delivery is usually right on, although it once took me over 4 weeks to receive a DVD that I had ordered, so that really irritated me. Also, I ordered a video game and they sent me the Gamecube version instead. Of course I was so excited to get it, cuz it was on backorder for 2 weeks, I started to open it right away, and realized that they had screwed up, I asked their customer service dept what to do about it, and they restated the federal copyright policy and their company policies to me. Didn't help out much, so I am saying that their customer service sucks, actually one of the worst I have ever delt with, and I work customer service in retail.

I have ordered about 14 different items on Amazon Marketplace. Every order that I have made gets delivered fast, and my orders have always been accurate, and have never been damaged. The customer service is helpful and courteous. My overall satisfaction it excellent. I still continue to order off of Amazon. If you have not ordered from Amazon before, then I suggest that you try it.

Just as one might buy via Half.com, check the seller ratings. Ratings are much harder to acquire at Amazon, and are not as accurate, but will give you a clue if the seller ships late, or if the quality might be much less than expected.

Always read any other information available on the book, as offered by the seller. The book may be a different year, in a different binding, by a different publisher... or, an entirely different book.

Books can be super cheap on Amazon. Not too bad if you want to read a book in mass production.

Sellers, take my advice... If you find your book is worth chump change on the open market, please donate it to a worthy cause in your own neighborhood or ship it to our troops, overseas. Please do not dilute the market, in a battle to list the cheapest book.

Consider it a learning experience, and move on to bigger and better things. Your time is worth more than a quarter an hour-- isn't it?

Sellers, check out endicia for delivery confirmation and insurance.

I buy and sell through Amazon Marketplace and I love the prices. Sometimes a book will be delayed in shipping or sometimes order accuracy is not so accurate, but that it to be expected. No biggie. I typically have a pleasant shopping experience.

If you are one of those people who don't excuse a little error here and there, you would be better off paying full price. But if you have a little patience and see that little errors are worth the money you save.. then Marketplace is definately worth a try.

Overall I am quite happy with Amazon Marketplace and I will continue to keep shopping and selling there.

Amazon.com is fast becoming the central clearing house for on-line ordering from many different stores. In general their product selection, delivery times and order accuracy are excellent. Amazon makes it easy for shoppers by housing name brand merchants under their roof, however, bear in mind that some of the sites Amazon does business for display lesser price tags for the exact same item. Each has their own reduced shipping fees and dollars off deals. When it comes to customer service Amazon has much to learn. If you have a question on a charge or item ordered, be prepared to receive general replies which never answer the question until you ask for someone who reads and comprehends the language, which in my case is English! It is not often that a situation presents itself in which I must contact Amazon, but when it does, my lament is audible.

The Amazon return policy for gifts is a joke. If the gift giver does not check the gift box on the order form then the gift recipient can not return the item and get a "store credit" or something like that. The refund goes to the gift giver.

In todays shopping environment all you should need is a receipt and the item to make a return. Not so with Amazon - and this inflexible and unwritten policy (at the time of ordering - you only find out about this when you try to return the item) has cost them a customer for life. I recommend Overstock.com for better prices, better shipping costs. Barnes and Noble.com is much better for books, cds, etc.

Amazon Marketplace seems like a good idea, but it's a duplicate of Half.com with less inventory control. Amazon Marketplace is a forum for sellers to hawk used goods. Great! I'm all for it! When you seek to purchase something from Amazon.com,   Read full review...

Amazon's marketplace combines the easy interface and payment options of it's normal website with the cheap and large product selection of eBay. In many respects, Amazon's marketplace is a very reliable place to shop. Payment is handled by Amazon which makes the safety of your cash a little more safe. However, I would definitely advise against buying from low rating sellers. Low rating sellers are often slow at shipping and skip out on important details to ensure the safety and condition of your package. Don't fret though, Amazon's sellers include many trustworthy, highly rated seller -- a glaring contrast to eBay's scam pool.

The selection at Amazons marketplace is the other high point. Practically every item and definitely every cd and book in there inventory sells for dirt cheap used and are mostly in great condition. I definitely recommend Amazon.com's marketplace shop to anyone and everyone, frugalites and the well-endowed alike.

I had a great experience with Amazon.com Marketplace. I had to order textbooks for my classes and went to Amazon because I thought it would be cheaper than going to the bookstore. I was right! I managed to save at least $60 on books. The books were delivered within a week and were the right books.
I am very satisfied with my experience with Amazon.com Marketplace.

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.

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.
