    Yes and no. Some are actually not reachable outside Amazon. Some tell you they only work over Amazon. Some offer only Paypal as payment method, which I don’t use. Some only offer some Chinese payment methods that I’m not going to use, either. Or their non-Amazon shop is only available in Chinese. And some have suspicious online presences where i think it is good to have Amazon in between, in case they do something fishy.

      I’m the opposite. If they don’t offer PayPal or another common payment option I’ll usually not use it. So many sites have terrible security and I don’t feel like having my cc info stolen because it wasn’t properly handled.

      Especially for a one time purchase not something I’d get monthly
