As the internet is developing day by day.We can buy almost everything on internet.There are several shopping webs such as ebay.com,taobao.com and so on.I usually buy goods on tabao.com.I bought a mp3,two phone,a digital camera.etc.Shopping online can save lots money.But the disadv is we can only see the photo instead of object.We can not make sure the quality. Do you ever buy anything online?Do you favor this way for shopping?Do you have any problem about online shopping?Have you ever been deceived by others on line.

I only buy things online from site that is feel safe (ie : Amazon, eBay (only sellers with good reputation)) I'll only buy something with low amount from site or seller that I don't know. Like the time I bought $2 eBook.

i like online shopping.because it saves time to go shopping,find parking places those kind of things.online shopping is made so easier with online banking.i can buy a lot of cheap items at online rather than buying at shop which selling double the price. but somehow must beware of scams online shopping.so must be smart in choosing a trusted seller.

All right.The seller's credit rating is an important data for buyer.High credit rating means a large quantity of sucessful trade.And those sellers almost won't play scams.

I love shopping online. Especially since I've started using Ebates (PM me or check out my profile if you want more info) for cash back on my purchases. I find myself bargain hunting in stores and then purchasing online for a better deal. To me, shopping is like a game, and I love the research aspect of finding the perfect product for the best price. So far, I've only had good experiences while online shopping. My favorite retailers to visit, though, are ones that accept returns in their stores, as this is usually easier for me if the item I purchased needs to be returned.

I like to buy online but only from ebay at the moment. I can do it from the comfort from my own home and things get delivered right to the front door or to the letter box. It just depends on how big the items are. I haven't tried any other online shopping yet. But may be one day I will.

I love shopping online. It is quick, convenient, usually cheaper and most important of, all always open. I like Amazon.com and iHerb.com. I also love to search out coupon codes to get bigger discounts. I hate paying for shipping and also search out stores that do not charge shipping. Now if they could only find a way to get instant gratification, like you can at a store, instead of waiting for it to ship.

I love online shopping! I bought my DSLR camera, other eletronics, book, books, more books and lots of other stuff. I love Ebay! But right now I can't justify shopping as much as I like to on there. I buy a lot of books online, most of the books I buy are on clearance. I have purchased tons of books for $1 - $5 each, everything from children's books, cookbooks and hard cover novels. I live in Canada, the website I like to use for books is chapters.ca A friend of ours and my husband bought the same cookbook from Chapters. Our friend went into a local Chapters store (an hours drive away) and ordered it then had to go back to the store to pick it up when it came in. My husband loved the cookbook so much that he wanted one. So he went onto the Chapters website and ordered it and had it shipped to our mail box. It cost my husband about 30% less. When our friend went in to Chapters to inquire about the price difference he was told that the stores can not compete with the website prices.

I forgot to add that my husband and I recently purchased glasses off the internet as well. We have been very happy with all 5 pairs. We used a website out of the US, including shipping and the exchange rate we paid $145 Cdn of 5 pairs. I would also like to add that 2 of them were tinted for sunglasses.

I do like shopping online, i think ahopping online lets me save some money too because they are a lot of cheap bargains online. But then sometimes i'd receive products that are not exactly what i had expected. Especially if it is a shirt or something, sometimes the fabrics came to be too thin, something which i had not expected. But then what do you expect iwth shopping online, there are pros and cons with everything.. ^_^

Ill buy tickets for stuff online, rather than lining up for it. However dont really like buying online. Firstly if its a site like Ebay, you have to be really careful about which seller you buy from. Secondly yes as you said, you only get to see a photo rather than the whole thing. Lastly, I HATE waiting for the stuff to be delivered. I LOVE going to a store and buying things there and then, it makes me feel better, warm and fuzzy. Have you seen the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic? Well thats me. I love using my credit card and buying new things, testing expensive perfumes, trying new clothes on. It just fills that void, makes you feel happy. (however due to certain things, like being made redundant, I have not been able to do this in a while). *sadface*
