online shopping or traditional shopping?

I am not a kind of person who easily trust people that is totally stranger to me.. Well, I had never tried shopping online but I am looking some site and watching what most items they were selling.. Well, I also joined some online shopping like ebay and auction.. I'm selling my home made cross stitch but no one wants to buy it.. hehe... I also tried to buy something online but at the end I just cancel it because i found out that it was just a scam.. I had found it in a way that they want to make a transaction that is not in the policy of ebay and auction, then I send emails from the management asking for advice then they told me that they don't allow that kind of transaction and maybe the seller is not a good seller.. So, I just tell the seller that I cancel my transaction to him.. Then the other one, she gave me wrong information of her surname.. I checked on her bill then I found out that the surname that she had given me is not the same in the account.. So, again I just cancel the transaction and I had never communicate her again.. I think some people were using this kind of site to fool people since they know that it will be hard for that people to find them since you don't even know his/her face.. So, I still like the traditional shopping because I can be sure that i will be able to receive the items, it is in the correct price and most of all in a good condition.. I can still choose the color or texture of that item..

I used to like to go to the mall when I was younger. Now I prefer to shop online. The malls are overcrowded. I hate having to find a parking space. There aren't too many places for the pre-teens and teenagers to go in my area, so they hang out at the mall. I find this to be annoying because most of them are not buying anything. They are just in the way or causing trouble. I shop at major stores when I shop online. I use a prepaid credit card. I put a limited amount on the card, so if someone does intercept my number they won't get that much money.

I probably purchase 1/2 of my clothing online. I dislike going shopping.... But fairly recently I have had to shop for clothes for special occasions in department stores. And I found that I am able to purchase clothing that is more flattering when I purchase clothing that I can try on before purchasing. So, from now on, I will try and set aside time to shop in department stores more and shop online, less. I read that more and more people are shopping online because it saves on the cost of gasoline for driving to stores to shop. Have a good day!

Me too. I would prefer to see and touch the item first before buying it. I still prefer the traditional way of shopping.

I would rather shop at the store just for fit and feel.I have bought a couple of items online and have not been fully satisfied.But then again I am a picky shopper.
