So here's the deal. I'm going to be making a significant purchase from Amazon for a bunch of textbooks. I was just wondering if buying from multiple sellers results in multiple credit card transactions (i.e. does it show up on my credit card statement as one transaction per seller or one large amazon transaction?)
 
Those of you who's spending habits are monitored by a significant other might be able to guess how this head-fi related

When you do your checkout, it should display the individual transactions in terms of what you are buying, and when you will receive your books. But, this might not matter. If Amazon is the seller, it's one transaction. If you are buying from a 3rd party seller, this will in fact be multiple transactions.

For text books, Amazon usually sells them through a 3rd party. Now I went to college in 00-04, but my bill 'then' was for the individual 3rd party companies. Unless they changed it, that's what I would expect.

Yep, it depends on the seller. If they are all handled (sold) by Amazon, then it will be one transaction. Since I do all my online purchases with a virtual account number generated by my CC company, and it is only good for one transactions, I have had to update orders with new numbers when there are multiple sellers that cover a single order.
