How secure is buying games off amazon?

ive been thinking about using amazon for some time now but i dont know how secure it is. anyone had any experience? good or bad?

Amazon.com is very secure. I've been buying old and new games from them for years now. I mostly buy music CDs through that site and they deliver on time with any shipment method you prefer. It always comes in a timely fashion for me.

amazon is safe. check the seller's transaction history if you want to be sure.LoG-Sacrament

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 have used Amazon for years myself. You simply cannot go wrong with Amazon.

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.

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.

very safe.. if your buying a brand new game.. just make sure it's advertised as 'sealed'.

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.
