A long time ago, Abebooks recruited me as a customer like this.. They were selling on amazon market place and with their follow up to my order convinced me to visit their website.

So, I think it can be done, I'm just surprised that not more company do it...

Ironic that Abebooks, of all sites, managed to convert you: they are an Amazon subsidiary.

They are now, but they weren't back then (I think it was around 2005)...

But I guess that if Amazon bought them, it shows they were good at what they did :-)
