Do NOT buy from Ebookino.com because it is not a legit website. It is a scam and is fraudulent. I had trouble after purchasing from them and received no help on their end. Just automated messages sent to my email and the phone number doesn’t work. Buy from a legitimate website like Barnes and Noble and always pay with PayPal if you can.

Ebookino uses deceptive advertising on the internet, showing pictures and titles of books at extremely low prices without mentioning that they are only digital files of the books anywhere in the description.

It only has the information that they are digital products buried in the T&C's in the bottom of the website...Our store selling only digital products instant delivery to client email and to customer account created on our website.

When you submit order you agree to receive digital product to your email and your created account on our website. Also you agree not request refund after digital product is delivered to your registered email and to your account.

Once you enter your credit card, you get an email with a link to a digital file. Gmail flags these emails with this warning: "Be careful with this message Gmail could not verify that it actually came from ebookino-gmail.com.

Avoid clicking links, downloading attachments, or replying with personal information. Report spam" My credit card statement included a telephone number for ebookino of 231-238-3583 by the charge but the number is inoperable.

I looked up ebookino and found it has a reputation as a scamming consumers. It gets away with it because they are often nominal charges.

I got taken for $1.80. Not much but still not cool. I will be submitting a fraud claim through my credit union and hopefully that will help put them out of commission.

Yup!

Bought a book, it got my money ($2.50 through debit card) -
no book
no answer
phone doesn't work

Do people really set up websites just to process incoming transactions?

Thank you.

I saw your warning just in time. The phone number is not valid and had a phone company like auto responder when I tried 2xs just now to be certain.

Thanks again.
