I buy used books all the time through, not from Amazon. The sellers of used books are independent booksellers who sell through Amazon. I've bought books for as little as one cent -- plus $3.99 shipping -- and have almost never been disappointed. Once I got the wrong book but the seller -- figuring he sent my book as the wrong book to someone else -- just refunded the purchase price plus shipping.

Used books are not covered by the $25 rule or by Amazon Prime. You always pay shipping, but it's pretty reasonable.

Do you still give your credit card number to Amazon when you buy a used book and buy it through them or do you have to deal directly with the seller?
