I am trying to order a book and I'm unsure on whether or not to buy it from the marketplace? Is it safe? Have you used it before and if so how did it go? Also, has anyone ordered from GIANTBOOKSALE before, was it good?
B&N marketplace is private sellers who have something being sold through Barnes & Noble, just like private sellers have books and CDs, and such at Amazon.
Private sellers are usually fine, but if the site lets buyers rate them, pay attention to the rating before buying, A good seller will have a 90% or higher rating.
do you mean www.barnesandnoble.com/
If so yes, they are reputable.
I don't buy often online but when I do I choose either B&N or amazon.com. Actually I bought a lot more from amazon and the third parties who use their website to sell their stuff and always had good experience with them.
