There are many shops online to sell all kinds of things. I prefer to buy books online, because the bookshops online usually sell books at larger discounts, and will send books to my home or office. It is convenience. Have you ever bought something online? What kind of things have bought? Do you think there are some special advantages for business online?

Yeah I buy a lot of things online. Usally I shop on amazon.com because that is the most reliable store to shop online at least that ive seen or stores like walmart.com Bestbuy or anystore that you can buy stuff online. But there are somestore that are dangerous to shop from because they will steal your money and credit card and wont deliver your item that you bought so you have to be very cautious when shopping online. Plus I reccomend you get a giftcard and not use your credit card to shop online that way they can only take the money on the gift card and nothing else.

I buy on line often and so far have not had a problem. I like shopping this way. It saves me time and usually money because it is so much easier to compare prices. I have never not recieved what I have ordered and am impressed with how fast some places deliver. Most sites are pretty secure because the company wants cutomers to come back. If they spread your personal info around it wouldn't take long for the customer to find out and then put the word out on them. Be sure to check their security policy first though

I have not bought anything online till date except some services on internet. I do not feel like buying any physical goods online because I do not trust such products.
However, if the products of some reputed company are available online and some good discount is available , I think that there is no harm in buying such goods.

hi youngkin
no i haven't been on an online shopping before
i once watched the re-run oprah show about online scam
and i scared me a lot
in my country, the online facility is not safe at all
the services here is really risky, especially the shipment
i often heard the complaints about undelivered goods here
it's much safer to do a direct shopping
thanks a lot ^^

Yes, I buy books & CDs online all the time! Amazon.com is excellent for getting great deals. Ebay is good too, but the quality & shipping prices aren't usually as good as amazon.
