Amazon.com is a publicly traded company so basically, the owners are the shareholders. However, the decision-maker is probably most likely Jeffrey P.  Bezos who is the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board

although its anoying, you would most definetly do it yourself if you were trying to attract new customers to your business, at the end of the day most people will only buy if the deal is really good or they are currently after that particular product or service at the time of the call or e-mail, so for 90% of people contacted the answer will probably be no or please call back another day so its probably not ethical for them anyway.

Yes. Amazon.com is a secure website which will not share your billing information with anyone.. I have been shopping with amazon and eBay for a long time now. I also work for one of the high tech companies in the silicon valley and I can guarantee you that for companies so big, your trust and their reputation is too important for them to mess up on this part. They have many layers of protection to prevent thefts of information, let alone giving your info to someone voluntarily. They know they operate on trust and something like selling or theft of users' info would lead their business to shut down completely.\n\nAlso, as a side-note, make sure when you are led to any page on the web asking you for credit card or bank info, that the page url starts with https:// . This shows that the page is secure and the info cannot be intercepted by someone.

When I need a good book on a subject, I always go to Amazon.com.\n\nI don't work for the company, but it's a great website.  First you type key words into the search function near the top of the page and you will get a collection of books that have words in the title or maybe description that match your words.  Often if you type in a specific title, it will bring up the title and other books by the same author at the same time.\n\nThen by going to different books that look like they might be good, most will have reviews by customers who have already bought the book.  They each can rate the book from 1 to 5 plus give a complete explanation as to why they rated the book what they did.  This way you find out why a book is good but very often why it sucks or why it just isn't what the title makes it sound like it is but isn't.  I try to stick to books that don't go below 4 1/2 stars but sometimes make exceptions.  I read the high ratings to find out what people liked about the book but look first at the bad ones to find out what people DIDN'T like about it.\n\nOn top of that, they usually have a list on that initial page of other related books that are of the same subject that you can click on and check out.  Then you can see which is best for what you're looking for.\n\nFinally, the prices are discounted and if you buy $25 in books (usually it only takes 2 books to hit $25) the shipping is free.  I avoid the used books if at all possible because it avoids hassles with sometimes inconsiderate people.  It's always easier to deal with a big company than an individual on the other side of the U.S. who you've never met.  The shipping by an individual is never near as fast as from the big companies also because the big company labels have the scanning stuff on their labels and the books get to your house in half the time as a result or even faster. Plusthe individuals almost always use padded envelopes to ship books and Amazon.com and Buy.com always use boxes. I ordered three books last week from Amazon.com.  I chose the cheapest shipping (free), they shipped it on Friday by media mail and the books were in my mailbox on Monday afternoon.  And that was from Kansas to Texas.  Seems that when they come from California, there's no or almost no difference in delivery time.  Sometimes they take about six days but if you're really in a hurry, you can pay for expedited shipping or get the book at your local bookstore at full price plus sales tax. (Never my choice).\n\nAnd if you're really cheap (like me), after you use Amazon.com to find the perfect or almost perfect book, you can switch over to Buy.com where they more often than not beat Amazon.com's prices by a little bit and have the same free shipping parameters. (But doesn't have all the reviews and helpful book-finding help that Amazon.com does.  Amazon.com is more well stocked than Buy.com is also.\n\nHere's two possibilities:\n\n"eBay for Dummies" by Marsha Collier\n\n"How to Buy, Sell, and Profit on eBay: Kick-Start Your Home-Based Business in Just Thirty Days" by Adam Ginsberg

Clickbank is one of the most reputable pay/merchant firms you can find on the net. They certainly level Paypal in trustworthiness. I believe they only handle with electronic goods such as ebooks and the problem with this is that a lot of junk is sold through clickbank. However if you found u bought a cat in a bag they'll gladly refund you.  \n\nso they're for real.... gl\n\nthere's also the option of selling your knowledge, something you're good at through a website. these r a few real life case studies http://case-studies.sitesell.com/Eduard1.html

in the words of Jeff Bezos:\n\n"Probably the question I get asked most frequently is why “Amazon.com?” I want to let you know right now that it has absolutely nothing to do with single-breasted female warriors. It’s Earth’s biggest river, Earth’s biggest bookstore."\n\nHope this solves your doubt\n\nbtw i did learn from this q ... and read a lot to find your answer =)

I have used the Amazon.com Prime service for about 3 or 4 months now.  I will continue to re-enroll year after year.  One nice thing about prime is that you can add other members of your household to your prime subscription even if they have a different Amazon.com account.  I believe they just have to have the same address as you.\n\nWith prime you get free two-day shipping and one-day shipping for $3.99 per item.  There are some items on Amazon that are not eligible for prime shipping.  Most items are eligible.  (I haven't come across an item I wanted to order that wasn't eligible.)  I usually order items with one-day shipping.  As long as I order before 4:30pm PST I will receive my items the next day.  A little known secret is that if you pay the $3.99 for one day shipping and it doesn't arrive in one day, they will refund your $3.99.  You just have to contact customer service.\n\nAnother little known secret about Amazon is that if you order something that goes on sale within 30 days of your purchase, they will refund you the difference.  You have to contact customer service to let them know.  Amazon Prime is highly recommended!

If the site have popups - don't touch it with a bargepole!\n\nIs the company reputable in the first place, well established, highly regarded by consumers? If yes, thats a measure of trustworthiness.\n\nThe purchase page with the order and billing forms should be done over SSL (Secure Socket Layer) a padlock symbol should appear on the status bar on the bottom.\n\nTo avoid falling foul of phishers, don't access the site from links in unsolicited emails. Type in the company's url into the address bar of the browser.

I've gotten some great deals on Amazon.  They're more than books and CDs now.  I got shoes!  At like 10 bucks less than I've seen anywhere else.  Also lots of great deals on CDs. I like it better than ebay for regular purchases.  Sometimes with Ebay you really never now.

I was unable to locate any reference to such company on BBB, US and UK government records, or major search engines.\n\nIf this is a scam, which is possible, it is not widespread to trigger any news, or records yet.
