Has anyone ever ordered a product from another user on Amazon.com?

Question

I'm looking into buying a book that I need for school on Amazon.com that is being sold by another user for 20 bucks. I'm not really sure if I should though. I'm having a tough time deciding lol. I was in the middle of signing up to purchase the book but I had to stop myself. I'm not sure if I should go through with it.

If you're afraid you won't get the book, don't worry about it.  Amazon has a guarantee that it will arrive, or your money back.  You're covered.

If you need it soon, make sure you pay for the upgraded (faster) shipping, though...otherwise it will ship using "Media Mail" and could take a couple of weeks or even longer.  Also, especially if there is more than one copy for sale, you might want to check the feedback to see if any of the sellers commonly cancel orders, or have other issues (smoke, etc).  I tend to go with the smaller sellers, myself, because they generally give more personalized service.
