Do you like shopping online it? Do you think online shopping inconvenient? Do you think online shopping safe? I bought a pair of shoes online and later found that was not good, so i am very worried about shopping on the Internet, but it very convenient. You get a sense of on-line shopping to buy what the best? Talk about your opinion!

I shop online occasionally, although not very frequently, as it can be incovenient to where I live (Middle East) because some sites aren't willing to ship here. Fortunately we have a PO box in America and England where shipments arrive, and then come here, but it's usually a long trip. =P
Online shopping is safe, as long as you use a site you know is reliable. There are sites out there with the aim of scamming you off your money to steer clear of, but many are legitimate. Shopping on the right sites is often very convenient, but I would suggest that online shoppers always exercise caution when buying items, especially used ones.
When I do online shopping, I buy things that I can't find here. I think that there's no point in buying things that you can find for cheaper in a mall 4 kilometres away.
If you're careful, online shopping can be very convenient and a definite benifit when looking for items you can't find close to you. =)

I know what you mean some people trust shopping online while others do not,and I do not blame the people who do not trust it,because there are some online stores and sites that will try and scam you so it is hard to know which ones you can trust especially since there are so many people who try to steal peoples money and try to commit identity theft which is never cool,me and my fiance do,do some online shopping from time to time because it is a really good way to buy things,and I think it is very convenient since the economy is in a bad state right now and gas prices keep fluctuating so we never know how much gas is going to cost tomorrow so when you shop online you can save the money you would have spent to drive to the store to purchase something,I think that shopping online is very safe,as long as you only shop from online stores that have a good reputation such as Wal Mart.com and places you know you can trust,and I am sorry that you bought some shoes and found out later they were not good,and when you shop online you can buy almost anything from the comfort of your home,especially if you have a very busy schedule,because you can sit in your pajamas at three am and order stuff,since most stores close at like ten or eleven,accept for the supercenter Wal Marts,and me and my fiance have bought several things online such as a Halo 3 Edition X-box 360 from Wal Mart.com which is what I always wanted,and we were very satisfied,and I have also ordered all four volumes ThunderCats on DVD in the past from Wal Mart.com and I was very happy with the products when I received them,and me and my fiance have also ordered a book called Unto A Good Land by Vilhelm Moberg from BarnesandNoble.com and we were very satisfied,and yesterday we ordered four books from BarnesandNoble.com for my mother for Christmas because she loves Danielle Steele books and there are like nineteen she does not have so we are giving her four of them for Christmas,so that means she will only need like fifteen to complete her collection.

Hi! If I think internet shopping is safe and appropriate? Of course! I do a lot of shopping online. The thing is that you have to choose from where you buy, some sites can be scams an others can be unprotected and your credit card information might be at risk!! Be aware of the dangers of shopping online. If you shop on the sites of know copanies that assure you that the site is secure, then yes, shopping is safe, but always eb sure that your own computer is safe and that you know what you buy. If you buy shoes from a brand that you don't know by exemple, they might no fit you know... You have to consider the advantages of buying online and see if it's worth for this kind of purchases. It's pretty simple, buy what you trust. If you are not sure about a site, don't buy on it, you probably sense something! Have a great shopping time and enjoy! Goood luck!

I like to shop online, but I mostly buy books and cds. I have never bought clothes or shoes online, when I want things like that I prefer to go a store to have a look at the things before I buy them. I once bought a watch through the internet, I was very satisfied with the one I chose and I enjoyed looking at the different watches in the online shop before I made up my mind. One of the reasons why I like to buy cds online is that I am interested in music from other countries. Many of the cds that I want to buy are impossible to find in our local shops, so it is great to be able to buy from them online instead.

Hi there! Before pregnancy, i have never tried online shopping. I didn't really have 100% trust on it as i don't really know how the products really look like.
But during pregnancy, when my tummy is getting bigger and bigger, i have no choice but to do the online shopping, because i couldn't find a suitable maternity clothes in the shopping centers.
I only made the online shopping once, so far so good, i have good experience on it, i think we only have to choose the right seller. The only thing is i will only buy the things that really suit me in real, even i can't see the products in advance. For example, i won't buy shoes and jeans, cos for me, even in real life, it's also difficult for me to find a suitable one.
For me, it's really convenient if i find the right things. I plan to buy the baby products online next year, there are really many choices, quite attractive. :-) Happy lotting.
