Is Paizo safe to buy from?
Hi,
I was looking at the Pathfinder Tales books available on Amazon.co.uk, and saw none are available as Kindle ebooks, so I went direct to the website where the ebooks are available for purchase. I was wondering how safe/secure it is to buy ebooks from them? Do they store payment details? Do they use the card verification system offered by some banks for online shopping? I may just buy the pbooks if it's too complicated.

If I wanted to patronize a business that didn't use PayPal, to be safe I'd use a refillable debit card for payment.

That's the way i was leaning. Thanks TimW. They said they don't use PayPal directly, but you can use a PayPal credit card. I wonder why they don't just accept PayPal fully? And why don't they offer their ebooks on Amazon? Surely their audience and therefore their revenues would increase hugely?

Black Library (Warhammer) don't sell through Amazon either. Maybe they feel that their gaming customers won't have a problem dealing with them direct, and don't want to give up the cut to Amazon?

I've never purchased an eBook from Paizo, but I have purchased numerous other products from them via their website without any problems whatsoever.

You can try them out with a prepaid credit card, that way you don't need to worry if they turned out to be not safe.

Credit cards are also very good for situations like this. I can monitor who charges and how much they charge on line and I can dispute anything with a simple mouse click. Your average credit card is rather secure against fraud.

My boyfriend buys a lot of books and fun stuff from them and it's very safe.
