How trustworthy are sites like Ebay, Amazon etc?

TEE

is there anyone who uses them frequently? ever encountered any problems, like product broken or not shipped at all? I'm thinking about buying some games, so i'd like to know.

I've sold something trough a similar site once, but the guy came to pick it up. so its a bit different.

eBay depends on the user.

Amazon - should be ok? Never used them.

Amazon merchants are completely trustworthy, as are most user merchants on Amazon with good ratings. I have never had any problems, nor heard of any, and me and my entire family use Amazon a lot.

No see amazon sort of rents out to private dealers who sell at differing prices to amazon's standard price see the used and new bit under the "ordering at christmas".

Amazon itself (non-third-party sellers) is pretty reliable, haven't had something shipped to me broken that I remember.

ebay, Amazon, Alibris, A1books and a couple others... The only troubles so far have been due to our native mail.
