i buy different things online. especially if i find a very good deal. but most often, i buy gifts and have it delivered to the person im giving it. saves me time & money =) especially during the holiday rush.
once i bought clothes but im not doing it again. it doesnt fit perfectly, its better to go mall shopping and try it on instead of doing it online. we also bought some electronic stuff, cables and some car accessories online. make shopping easier!

About the clothes, don't the online store allow you to exchange it with a different size? Buying it from the mall is a better option though. I sometimes still buy pants that are smaller that what I can wear sometimes because of carelessness. They seem to fit well when I wear them while standing. The problem comes when I sit or squat down. Anyways, thank you for your participation in my research.

What are the things that you have bought online?
A wacom intuos3 graphic tablet (a couple years back)
Recently, a pair of leg wrap shoes and a cake tip decorating set.
Going to purchase some cosmetics for my mum and jewelry for my grandmother in Sept.
How often do you buy things online?
Usually not often, but since I started using Amazon's Mturk to earn some extra cash I spend it all back on Amazon.com.

When is the time you will buy more? Is it during festive seasons? [/b]
Yes, usually during festive seasons and for birthdays.
From which online store and why?
Amazon, because I always have money in my gift certificate account. Plus, I feel I can trust buying from them alot more than Ebay *shrugs*
Hope your research goes well.

Hi! I shop online mainly because the things I want and like are only found online. Those items are not available in any store here in our country so I just opt to buy them online. I'm a fan of a Japanese Pop Group and I buy their CDs most of the time in my purchases. I also buy original Chinese DVDs from Hong Kong because I love movies from Hong Kong. I also buy American films that are not available in local stores here. I'm thinking of buying a book too and any other type of item that I like online as long as it is not found on our local market.
Anyway, I usually buy stuff online when my favorite JPop group releases a new CD. But I still tend to be choosy because I usually earn my money from school allowance. Since I have graduated already, I think I'll be able to purchase more often when I start working. By the way, I usually shop online on several occasions like my birthday and during the Christmas season. Sort of a treat for myself. As a matter of fact I'm making another purchase soon because my birthday's soon.
Hope this helps

Yes, it helps. Thanks for the reply. Now I can confirm that there is a higher probability of people buying stuff online during festive seasons. The birthday part is enough to confirm that most online shops will make at least one sales a day.

I bought different things online, such as, backpack, clothes for children, diaper, milk powder, books, pouch sling, etc... As for the second question, I can only say that I often shop online. :) Actually, there is no special time for shopping online, but if there's one for me, I think, that would be the time when I am rich and have plenty of time online. I usually visit taobao.com, and dangdang.com to buy different things.

I bought a skirt, a card reader, and a laptop sleeve. online. :) I don't know when I would buy stuff online again.. Maybe when I can't find the things I want at the malls. I buy from online stores at multiply.com.. There are users there who sell things. :)

Hi. I mainly buy stuff from Ebay. I have bought make up, beauty productds, CDs, DVDs, posters etc. I usually buy Jason Statham film posters etc because they are hard to get anwhere else, for so cheap anyway. Ive bought a dress from ASOS.com for my birthday. I bought a banner for my birthday party and ordered some business cards. I make handmade cards so I have bought some things for that online. I buy now and again or when I really want something. I find things online are a lot cheaper but i try not to get too carried away with my debit card lol. I mainly use play.com for CDs and DVDs.
