I do it all the time. You get to hop all you want from the comfort of your own home. You can shop in as many different tore/sites as you want. I know it sounds lazy but that is what technology has afforded us. The only thing about online shopping that I don't like i the wait. When you shop at a store you don't have to wait for the item you just paid for. Online buying can leave you waiting for days. Theres no instant gratification.

very true people need to take this into consideration more when urgently requesting an item

Sometimes I going to shopping online with my credit card, but before enter my credit card details, I always see whats payment processor they use and how the store profile. If they are matching with 'safe online store criteria' I will go to shopping there.

Considering that visa and mastercard have pretty good rules in terms of alerting them with false purchases so as long as you do it in a timely manner then you should be alright.
I make a point of checking my online statement every couple of weeks to make sure nothing is amiss.
I think my greatest concearn with using a credit card online is the ease of doing so and the convienence (sp?) of having things turn right at your doorstep. The temptation to spend more money than I have is too great. Currently Im looking into debit cards.

I do, but only in a few trusted places. I shop at Wal Mart, Amazon and ebay. So far I haven't had a problem and I have been doing this for years.

I enjoy shopping online. I use my paypal account though as much as I can, because I can still have my credit card fund it if I need to.

I do it all the time. I've found that buying school books online at Amazon.com instead of the school book store can save me almost 80% to 95%! Online tends to have a lot of great deals, and you can find literally ANYTHING online to buy.
