...than prices in Europe). Amazon.co.uk are very similar, but based in the UK, so if you're ordering from Europe you'll find the postage quicker and cheaper.

...aware of the concept of Amazon.co.uk and the service it provides, allowing you to buy any kind of electrical goods/DVD/CD amongst the greater selection of goods it now sells. But you can also sell things on Amazon, and buy material from third-parties rather than just through Amazon...that's where it's Marketplace comes in. When clicking on a product, take a DVD for example, you will be given the price, but also an option to buy "Used & New", which ... ...associated with Amazon, just merely members of the site. Anyone can sell on the website as long as the product is listed, all you need to do is sign up for a Sellers Account, rather than just use your normal Buying Account.

Advantages: Money back guarantee Disadvantages: No control over sellers, spoils the usage value
Amazon has no way to control the third party sellers on the market place. So be careful when you buy. you will (or might) get your money back if somethings go wrong but that is close to 30 days since you placed your order. Moreover there is added complication that your plans of using what you ordered will get thrown down the well because it arrives later than you wished and expected based on which you ordered. Well if the only benefit of using Amazon ... ...if credit card companies provide that cover already. And you could arguably get the things cheaper from the third party seller directly if finally you are taking the risk of a dodgy third party sellers. I am not sure if Amazon has any policy that is followed in spirit (rather than the text) to ensure that third party seller stick to what is written on the website when you buy. for example, i bought a Canon 450D (not cheap) and it said - all items ...

Advantages: Easy to use, cheap prices Disadvantages: Can't always find what your looking for
Amazon is an amazing online shopping site which offers great product at amazing prices. I have shopped here for sometime and I was thrilled when I found out that DooYoo offers Amazon vouchers in return for your DooYoo Miles. Amazon is such a great site that anyone can use and its so easy to actually buy items. The prices are also very low sometimes nearly half price to what they would be in store, sometimes even lower than that. You can also, sometimes ... ...Your items are paid for quickly and they are always delivered to you within one week. Depending on your type of delivery you can sometimes receive your item within the next day. Most major credit and debit cards can be used as payment, such as MasterCard, Solo, Visa etc. Overall, I think that Amazon is a great place to buy items as their prices are cheap and delivery is very quick. I would recommend this site to anyone. ...

Advantages: Cheap, safe, customer service is great Disadvantages: -
I strongly recommend buying from amazon. It has time and time again provided the cheapest price available on the internet for different items I have purchased whilst being alot safer than ebay. The website also customises the front page to make items appear that may be attractive to you based on your past searches. But I am most impressed with the great customer service it provides. After being worried about an item I wished to cancel and refund ...
