im not worried... they have big marketplace sellers like antonline, BH photo.... which are also marketplace sellers on amazon.  I never had a problem with buy.com.  I ordered 2 jvc ha-s400's came fast and quick... 2-3 days...free shipping.  Also bought my first full size can jvc ha-rx700 from buy.com You get to choose the marketplace seller to buy from just like amazon.  

As long as you make sure to buy from reputable sellers, you're fine using Rakuten. I was less than impressed with a few experiences I had with them, but I was buying from mid tier sellers (Beach Camera, Platinum Micro). Beach Camera shipped my SSD (Yes, I know, it's an SSD so no damage) in a large box with no packing material. Absolutely zero packing material. Platinum Micro was in the packaging state for 4 days before I cancelled my order.
 
Buy.com, Adorama, etc are all good sellers to buy from.

Make sure you pick Amazon as the seller... This is lowest price ever according to camelcamelcamel

Newegg is currently offering a bundle deal: the latest generation iPod Nano plus a set of Klipsch Image E1 headphones for $124: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1291249&nm_mc=AFC-dealnews&cm_mmc=AFC-dealnews-_-NA-_-NA-_-1291249
 
I don't know much about the Image E1, but if anyone was looking for a small portable music player, this gives you the player plus a set of probably-decent headphones for less than the standard retail price on the iPod.

 
yeah if you want an ipod.

They are one in the same so yes, they are legit

 
 
Be warned about Rakuten, I would  approach them with a careful eye. 
 
As I said before Rakuten BOUGHT OUT buy.com, they are not the same. They also include merchants from all over the world, most are probably fine, but be careful.

Four ratings, all horrible.

It's no more risky than buying off ebay.
 
Just choose a marketplace seller with decent feedback.
 
Don't buy something from a seller with 1.5 star rating and be surprised if something shady happens.
 
Just be cautious.  
 
Antonline, Beach camera, BH photo, Buy.com....lots of the marketplace sellers are the same as the ones on amazon.
