A lot accept PayPal (handy if the book you are after is located overseas) and some accept cheques. Amazon basically force you to pay with your card. <BR/><BR/>Also, I have found that a lot of sellers (but not all) are quite happy to email you a picture of the item if it is not already there, and they often provide a much better customer service. With amazon's marketplace, they are sketchy on the details too.<BR/><BR/>Personally, if the book cant be found on ebay, I use abebooks rather than amazon. Amazon is really a last place resort. I do hope that they dont make too many changes, because it would totally spoil it for me.pullein-thompson-archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875692220143559727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782167599693788794.post-68981640646335907742008-08-08T17:47:00.000+01:002008-08-08T17:47:00.000+01:00What do Amazon want abebooks for ? they already se...What do Amazon want abebooks for ? they already sell secondhand books through their marketplace.<BR/>Do they really see abebooks as enough of a rival that they have to eliminate it as a separate entity ?<BR/><BR/>That's depressing.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941239760699389457noreply@blogger.com
