I have no problem shopping online. But then again, it depends on the shop you're shopping from. Some online shops are different so you have to make sure that the shop you're going to buy from is trustworthy and won't scam your money.

For the most part i do. I have been ordering things over the internet for years and have never really had any problems with it.

Well, I always shop at places I can trust: amazon, best buy, etc. And do some research on the website - find it easy if I should put trust in the website or not. If you still have problems and fears about online shopping, I recommend you getting McAfee SiteAdvisor, WOT, or even Paypal just to reduce your chances of fraud. Hope you find what's right on the net not what's bad!

I had several experiences of shopping online.Everytime I would have a careful look at the comments for the product from the previous buyers.if most of them were satisfied,I would make desicion to pursue that. :) and there is a percentage to show the honesty of each seller.that is aslo an important factor to take into consideration~~

Well..I myself haven't ever shopped online coz i dint find any need for tha same till date
But hey..I'd say if you really wanna shop online..Shop on these widely known websites like e-bay n all..They ve got a global presence n chances of internet fraud are quite less
Even if you shop on some other website..Keep a check on their privacy certificates that they obtain only wen they pass certain standards to make their website safe from attacks from hackers n all who have the intention of stealin Credit Card informations
Hope this info wud help ya:)

I often order online and have never had a proble, I carefully check the site out and try to stick to ones I know already are safe. However I have been caught out once or twice couple of blank keyring sites, both never sent the goods promised and despite numerous emails I never recieved my products. On the whole though I would say many sites are completely safe and if your not sure you can always just ring and place your order instead.
