- hga 11y agoUsing Amazon is more risky for them, though, for example, if Amazon kicks them to the curb, which happens frequently with e.g. DVD sales, they have to pay hefty money to either get their inventory back or have Amazon destroy it. Me, I find that if I stick to sellers of enough age, quantity of sales, and a 96% or better rating, I'm very seldom disappointed.

- hga 11y agoIt's a simple enough algorithm that I find it worthwhile, given the value of my time vs. dollars. That said, I do all the Amazon purchasing for my ~80 year old parents.
- emodendroket 11y agoI think fulfilled by Amazon is about as good.
- hga 11y agoAmazon gives a good return or exchange service when they fulfill stuff for marketplace sellers, as I recall from a couple or more experiences.
