All I'm saying it's a bit of a gamble. If it pays off you save a few bucks, if it does not you lose a few. Chances are all will work out okay for a one-off purchase, but I would not make a habit of it, because on average there is little or no savings to be made.
The typical story goes like this. You order an item ready to ship. Your credit card is charged. Several weeks pass along with the amazon's predicted latest date of delivery. You contact seller. They say sorry they don't have it in stock, it will be another 4-6 weeks (or they don't know how long). You ask for a refund, and hopefully, eventually you get it. I always got a refund in the end but the whole affair costs time and significant amount of money in bank fees, currency exchange charges, interest on credit card.
