Quoting vonnyz:

I was also searching high and low for some books/media on learning Turkish language. So far what I have found in the major bookstores here in Singapore is the book called "Teach Yourself Turkish". Any of you have used this before?



If you read the thread above you will see many comments about this book - mostly positive. Personally I think it is excellent although it move move forwards at a fast pace which I like but others may not.

I use Amazon.co.uk - but they are the same company......

I have never had any problems at all - in what way do you think they might be "not safe" ???

well bod,i don't mean particularly from Amazon.com

İ have relative have bought a laptop from ebay,and they were completely cheated,
And they brought it up to courts too

So that is why i get a bit afraid from buying things online

Haven't you heard anything similar ?

No worries Canli.

i have bought things off amazon.com and it has been fine.

i have also bought things off ebay and they have been fine too.

but i am always hesitant about buying stuff from ebay and would always think twice before i buy from there.

with ebay, you are dealing with other users who may not be as honest as you are. and that is where you may get into difficulties.

with amazon.com, it is more of a store and they will generally deliver the goods as promised.

It is safe with ebay when you use PenPall:

Advantages

Immediate and convenient.
Payment is deposited directly into the seller's account.
You can pay directly from the item listing page.
No requirement that you use your credit card (you can transfer money directly from your bank account).
Sellers don't see your credit card number (it is safely encrypted through PayPal's server), which limits the risk of unauthorized use.
Automatic payment tracking.
PayPal Buyer Protection offered on qualifying items - up to $1,000 in free coverage.
Additional limited protection offered through PayPal's Money Back Guarantee.
Learn more about using PayPal.
I think you could know this but just wanted to remind.
I use this all the time and never had problems.

when you buy from amazon.com, i am pretty sure you can only use credit card...correct me if i'm wrong.

but you should be directed to a secure page (check the bottom right hand corner, there should be a padlock there). every transaction made on these types of pages should be secure and encrypted.

and like bliss said, when buying through ebay, try and buy from sellers that have paypal rather than directly depositing into their account, coz that buyer protection thing that paypal has is pretty good.

unfortunately there are some unscrupulous people out there.
