I ordered a book on amazon marketplace.. to save a few bucks.. I could have sworn I bought a new or like new condition book, but I dont remember exactly.
anyways the book I just received is about "good" condition..
was wondering if there's a way I can check what condition the book was from some sales history.. I checked recent order etc. but no where does it say what condition of the book was when I bought it.
I received two email for confirmation on the sale, but I deleted one of them and kept the other.. the one i kept doesn't specify too.
I duno, just need to make sure I did in fact order a book that was stated New or Like new.. before I even complain about it.. if I do anyway.

No, I don't think so. You can go into your account with Amazon and see what you bought, including used items, but it won't show what the seller's comments were about the item's condition.

all sellers who sell books on amzn marketplace have to specify condition of the book,the categories are provided by amzn,such as collectible,new,like new,good,very good etc.
And then there is some space for the seller to describe more such as marks,ex -lib etc.
You can go into your account and see the transaction,click on that transaction and you will see the detail page,it should say something about the condition of the book.
There is really no way for amzn to verify what the seller said,you can either contact the seller ,leave him/her appropriate feedback or complain to amzn.
Under amzn a-z protection program,amzn may reimburse you for the purchase price of the book if seller does not want to do anything for you.

previous poster is right, go to your Amazon account and look at your recent transactions. Somewhere there is the listing for your purchase, including condition.

go back to amzn and do a search as if you are going to buy the same book and the book page will come up and it will show how many copies are available,and in what condition.
as for that particular copy you bot,if you have the amzn email sent to you when you place the order,there should be a link to that particular copy you bot.

yeah I deleted one of the two emails amazon sent me.. kept the one that doesn't have the condition of the book in..
I know the link is still on amazon's site.. its just I can't find it..
argh. oh well I guess. I'm fairly certain I bought a new or like new book, since I've never purchase a worn out book before, just cuz I like the option to sell it when I'm done with it...

Here's an option: I KNOW the seller has access to the complete listing, including condition. You can contact him with your concern and ask him to send you a copy of it.
Maybe more trouble than it's worth, though.
OTOH, it burns me up when sellers are not honest about condition, like when they list an item "like new" but say the owner's name is written in or it doesn't have the jacket. Others have different opinions on this, though.
