I buy LOTS of stuff from Amazon, mostly because they usually have what I want. I never store my credit card or banking information there, or even my email anymore. I never used to think too much about rating products either - I just did it. Well, I don't rate things anymore, ever. Even if you don't post your email address, Amazon does after you submit your remarks or comments about the product you're rating.

A lady I hadn't communicated with in several years FOUND me through Amazon because she recognized my email address on a comment to a rating on some item. I contacted Amazon immediately and told them what happened and that I didn't want it to happen ever again. I also told them never to contact me about rating some product that I've purchased because I'm not participating in that little endeavor any longer.

I had so much trouble with e-bay and that stupid PayPal system they have there; so I simply don't ever buy from them anymore. Amazon and Overstock.com is about all that's left, and Overstock has gotten kinda out of hand on shipping charges. Overstock is direct purchase from the company though, which I like, whereas Amazon is still buying through separate people, mostly.

Other than that, I've never had trouble with Amazon. I purchase lots of stuff for my two daycare facilities through them and I've never once received anything free, never even a discount, never free shipping -- nothing. You lucked out with your free coffee mugs!!!
