You need new shoes...
Where do you go?
I will often check
first ebay then amazon
for sneakers or birkenstocks
always to amazon for a book.
Little odd stuff I will go to
etsy as well or just google the item.
What are your online buying habits?
Do you always use the same?

Hi again! Till now i have bought things online only from ebay and some local auctions in my country! i even don't know how to work with amazon and just have heard of it, but never joined or saw it! From ebay I have bought a HDD for my old PC, which I have already sold and a headphone(wireless). And from the local auctions i have bought many many things like books, magazines, post stamps and so on

there are really many auctions in the area where I live now and I go almost every week at least once, because there are some really advantageous things!

i pretty much only buy from ebay and etsy online. i have not really bought much stuff other than that. if i want a pair of shoes, i will go to walmart and see what they have. i am more of a tactile person. i like to look at and touch the things before i buy them.

Hi Raydene,
Seriously I don't like shopping online, I did once and my details got taken so was wiped clean on my credit card-guess once bitten twice shy, so now I won't buy anything online if anything with paypal...LoLo

I either shop with my Pay Pal money or I have a prepaid or pre loaded credit card that is not tied to any of my bank accounts, so they have no way to access my information or my whole account.

I will never buy shoes online. My feet are weird and I have to try them on to decide.
If I buy books online, it's either eBay or Amazon, although I may be buying some on PaperBackSwap soon. Mostly I buy books at Barnes & Noble (their bargain bins) or Dollar Tree or Goodwill.
I do order magazines online, though. I can often find vendors who have deep discounts on subscriptions compared to the publisher's site prices.

I will visit a range of websites, including eBay and Footlocker. However, when buying shoes or footwear in general, I prefer to buy them from a store as I can try them on for size and see what they look like on me properly before I decide whether or not to make a purchase

I go through the MyPoints portal and go to the appropriate store, if I am going to shop online. I most recently have shopped through alibris. I think I want to be an affiliate there. I love that I can get out of print books there. The reason I use MyPoints is because I can get points for the dollars I spend. Those points convert to gift cards. It is a little bonus. I am going to be buying a new mattress pad bed warmer and some other household items soon. I was going to go to Target.com, but hubby prefers I choose some other merchant. He does not like some of their policies.

The first time that I experienced purchasing online is last year. I visited the site called Innolife, I purchase a directors cut dvd there. I don't prefer to buy online unless the product can't be found here, like that dvd directors cut because that was originally from korea. I do shop personally on my stuff, I want to see it on my own eyes and I want to fit the material, of course if you are buying such products you want to have the quality of it, how can i buy online while looking at the picture only, I think that is very very difficult if hte products will fits me. I don't really buy online.

I generally buy that stuff at Value Village. Online shopping has mostly been for cross-stitch supplies.

I used to buy my stuff from eBay but some of them are useless, because when you buy online you just see it but you cannot fit it, so your not sure that this item is suitable for you. My suggestion is, you better to buy offline if possible.
