I'd rather limit the sites that have my $ information. sometimes paying a bit extra is worth it when you get reliability and safety in exchange.

TETO, but I've been ordering from ImportCDs for many years without a problem. They're often significantly cheaper on larger box sets and stuff.

I've been buying from Amazon Marketplace sellers, including ImportCDs, for many years. Amazon doesn't share your credit card details with them. In fact, Amazon says:

If a seller asks you to send funds directly to them, bypassing the Amazon checkout process, do not place the order, and contact Amazon customer service immediately.

www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=537802

The only time I ever had any trouble was when I ordered directly from CD INZANE, instead of going through Amazon. CD INZANE alone had a CD I wanted, and I felt comfortable buying from them because I had previously bought from them as an Amazon Marketplace seller. Soon afterward I got a call that fraudulent charges were appearing on my card. Thankfully the bank caught it early and I wasn't liable for any of those charges. They simply cancelled my old card and issued me a new one with a different number.

The funny thing is that the CD INZANE transaction was otherwise legit. They promptly sent me the CD I ordered and charged me the correct price for it. I don't know if their website was hacked, if they had a dishonest employee, or what.

Anyway, in my experience, buying through a Marketplace seller is as safe as buying direct from Amazon, provided you use Amazon's website and their checkout process.
