Are you actually reviewing the right company?

Is it possible that the order was placed with another company, not eBooks.com? There are a lot of companies with the word "ebook" in their names. Before leaving us a damning complaint, check your credit card account (or PayPal if you paid that way) for the name of the merchant. If the name isn't exactly, and only, "EBOOKS.COM", then you'll need to contact the company that billed you -- not eBooks.com.

Buying a book on your website was so easy

Buying a book on your website was so much easier than other sites I have used. I wish I had found you sooner. I was also able to find an ebook that I had searched for on other sites and could not find it. Your prices are also very reasonable. Thank you
