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.

Yes Gezbelle, right, have to use credit card. And you are right, just trust your guts, if feeling unsecure don't buy. You can even chat to them and then you will understand to buy from them or not.

Quoting CANLI: well bod,i don't mean particularly from Amazon.com
İ have relative have bought a laptop from ebay,and they were completely cheated |
There is a huge difference between buying from Amazon and buying from eBay......Amazon is a huge firm that sells stuff whereas eBay is just a place for individuals, and recently small business', to sell stuff. It is a bit like the difference from buying goods from a big department store and buying goods from some guy on a street corner with a little table!
eBay don't actually sell anything (except webspace for people to advertise what they are selling), they simple put people who are selling in touch with people who want to buy. Amazon are very different - they are a big company that do sell things and they have a reputation to keep up.
Persoanlly I wouldn't think twice about buying something of high value from Amazon - it is certainly where I buy nearly all my books and electrical goods from.

It suddenly struck me earlier today.......
Perhaps television is a real hidderence to learning Turkish (or whatever you choose to learn come to that). I am sure that many people would learn much much quicker if they were to turn the television off and use the time instead to practice! Even missing two programmes each day would give at least an hour per day for study and pracice!!!

AA Rough Guide to Turkish has helped me. It was invaluable in the beginning. It covers most of the initial grammar, to help you to start with. Mine is falling apart from over use. I got it from an ordinary book shop.
