Is Amazon Right For You?

Is shopping with Amazon the right choice for online buyers?

Is Amazon right for you? If you'd like to save money on your purchases, have the convenience of one click shopping, and even save some money on gas by having items delivered right to your house, then Amazon is the perfect choice for you. Like other shopping websites, Amazon gives a wide range of choices in the form of payment, but currently does not accept PayPal. This probably has to do with the fact that Ebay and Amazon are ecommerce rivals, and Amazon might lose some credibility and money if it bows before Ebay. While they don't accept PayPal, the checkout process is still secure on Amazon.

How to Start Setting Up Your Amazon Account

Find out how to set up your Amazon account by following these easy steps

Head to www.amazon.com to set up your account.

First, you'll want to head over to the amazon.com. You can use the links on this page if it's easier for you. Once you arrive at the Amazon home page, you'll see the shopping navigation, search box, featured items, and most importantly, at the top, the user sign in link. If you are a new customer, click new customers "start here." This should always be right at the top of the screen.

Enter in Your Primary Email Address

Enter the email address you'd like to receive notifications from Amazon.com

Next, Amazon will ask that you enter in your email address. Make sure to check off that you are a new customer and that you do not already have a password. Use an email address that you check often so that you can have shipping updates and notifications sent to this email account. In other words, use your primary email account.

Choose Your Amazon.com Password

Once you've entered in your email address, you will be brought to a page to enter in your email address twice to confirm, fill out your date of birth, and choose a password. Again, enter in your email address, then fill out your DOB, then choose a password. When choosing a password, pick something that no one else would guess. Don't choose your kid's name, your dog's name, or your favorite food. Choose something obscure, meaningless, and better yet, include some numbers in the password. Something like "88grittytree7" is a pretty good one. Write your password down in a secure place so you won't lose it, and proceed y clicking the yellow button.
