Can I trust Amazon Merchant Sellers?

glyn_s

I've seen can-they-be-believed offers on Amazon merchant sellers before - but if I bought from them would I be setting myself up? This TV just seems too good to be true - but Amazon merchant sellers are supposed to be guaranteed - can I buy with confidence?

I have bought plenty anyway it is different to ebay as the money gets paid to amazon and amazon pay out the seller at a later date.

So bottom line I would not worry about it.

Hope this helps

not sure how well you would be protected..... check out the 'about the company' page for them on amazon. They do not state a refund policy but indicate to contact them to discuss. Sure something is not right to be honest.

think this is their site, down at the moment, does this mean anything ?

They are listing stuff well below cost, bargepole springs to mind.

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

I always think it would be useful to see what the product was - eg. was it a TV?

I assume this has gone now as the link just goes through to Amazon page showing Amazon themselves as the lowest priced supplier.

I emailed Amazon asking if I was protected if I bought from this buyer - I haven't heard from Amazon but maybe my email alerted them? Or maybe they've all been bought?

Hi this seller had a ZEN 60Gb MP4 player advertised yesterday (1-8-07) @£120 when I asked the seller a question, was this the correct price as it was well under the highstreet price, they responded and sudgested that if I wanted it then THEY would contact amazon and then Amazon would then in turn contact me to take the payment details, So I then had a spoof email from Amazon sudgesting that I pay into a western union account the amount requested by the seller, and when I had recieved the goods and advised that I was happy with them the funds would be released to the seller.

This is definetly a scam and I have reported it to Amazon, but have had no reply from Amazon, but have had 3 requests for payment from the spoof Amazon account.

Even if it wasn't a scam, spending a grand on a telly isn't really very money saving IMO. regardless of what the RRp is.

not a grand it was 500 for a tv worth 1300
